This article explains the researcher ownership of tools of inquiry. Using personal narrative, the text highlights the elements of case study development presenting the familial as the impetus for an alternative mode for LIS social justice research in an ethnic, racial, gendered community. Using the researcher journey as an example, the approach is explored through a theoretical and methodological iterative case development process. Implications in the furtherance of LIS social justice inquiry models utilizing a critical-qualitative approach are explicated towards the development of a case study in the pursuit of community-focused research.
