Abstract
The evaluation of information access systems is increasingly making use of multiple evaluation methods. While such studies represent forms of mixed-methods research, they are rarely acknowledged as such. This means that researchers are potentially failing to recognise the challenges and opportunities offered by multi-phase research, particularly in terms of data integration. This paper provides a brief case study of how one framework – Bazely & Kemp’s metaphors for integrated analysis – was employed to formalise data integration for a large exploratory evaluation study.
