ACRL-STS Call for proposals for Research Forum
The ACRL Science and Technology Section’s (STS) Research Committee also invites submission of abstracts of research papers to be given at the STS Forum for Science & Technology Library Research at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago next June.
The Research Forum will take place on Sunday, June 26, 2005, from 2:00-4:00 pm. Deadline for submission is January 10th. The two chosen presentations will have a duration of 30 minutes. Abstracts should be sent to Karen Grigg, Co-Chair of the STS Research Committee. Be sure to include your name, institution, phone, fax, and e-mail address.
The Research Forum provides an excellent opportunity to share recent research addressing issues in science and technology librarianship in its broadest sense. Two proposals will be selected through a blind review process on the basis of timeliness, evidence of scholarship, and relevance to science and technology librarianship.
ABSTRACT: An abstract not exceeding 250 words should convey the title and purpose of the project, its scope, methodology, conclusions, and relevance to science and technology librarianship. Priority will be given to papers that indicate research analyses, either quantitative or qualitative.
As the first USF librarian at the Lakeland campus (now Polytechnic), I opened the USF Polytechnic Library in January 2007 and have developed its various services.
I've held positions as information broker, Internet consultant and academic librarian in Canada, the US and Europe.
A blogger since 2001, I've created and maintained several sites in, and outside, of the biblioblogosphere.
I'm active in SLA, and currently serve as on the boards of the Academic Division and the Florida-Caribbean Chapter.
