Archival data has a new mission: Critical; it's not what it used to be. On regular basis, Archive Systems would scan anywhere from 175,000 to 275,000 single pages per day for a customer's digital archives and for online retrieval using up to ten lower speed and smaller capacity scanners.
Theories are formulated to explain, predict, and understand phenomena and, in many cases, to challenge and extend existing knowledge within the limits of critical bounding assumptions. The theoretical framework is the structure that can hold or support a theory of a research study.
A theoretical framework is a frame of reference that is a basis for observations, definitions of concepts, research designs, interpretations, and generalizations, much as the frame that rests on a foundation defines the overall design of a house (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 1998, p. 141).
