<div>From the details in the definition, the researcher
will use this chapter to present the ongoing conversations and debates about
blended librarianship, and its role of the professionalization of academic

about a topic as the argument of discovery, which they insist leads to the
argument of advocacy.&nbsp; The argument of

2012), that leads to propositions will be interrogated during the data
analysis stage (see Fig. 2). <br></div>
