It seems to me that a good approach to choosing a model/theory would be to choose two or three prospects and then do some reading in each one to see how it’s been defined and used. The impending due date is a stressor for me, but I know there is plenty of time. It’s like eating an elephant, right? one bite at a time…
(fyi, I would never eat an elephant, just a figure of speech!)
Additionally, I imagine several of these models/theories would fit my chosen community, it’s just a matter of deciding which I would prefer to delve into…
Anyone care to share their approach to picking their LIS Model?
