Abstract
We have been able to investigate strategies for improving the methods and uses of DOER by actually conducting research in collaboration with a large urban school district. The district did not have its own research office at the time these investigations began. Our collaboration with the Pittsburgh public schools provided the opportunity to conduct research in a school district setting in order to learn more about district information needs and to test research strategies that could increase the validity and utility of those research activities.
