The Education and Behavioral Sciences Section (EBSS) Research Committee invites proposals for presentations at their virtual research forum, to be held online Wednesday, May 7. Our charge is to investigate and propose ways for education and behavioral science librarians to share ideas about new directions in education and behavioral science librarianship, research in progress or recently completed, and other current topics of interest. We invite proposals on research projects that are relevant to library work in education, behavioral, or social sciences or to academic libraries in general.
The Research Forum encourages and supports researchers of all levels and offers an opportunity to present research that is complete or currently underway through a 10-minute lightning talk format. Presenters will share their work in a peer-reviewed venue and receive feedback from the ACRL community. Lightning talks are selected via a competitive, open peer review process. Those who are not selected will receive formative feedback from the EBSS Research Committee.
You do not need to be a member of ALA or ACRL to submit a proposal.
Proposals are due Friday, March 14, at 10:59 PM CDT. Applicants will be notified regarding acceptance the week of April 1.
Proposal Submission Instructions
Please submit your proposal via Google Forms. Proposals will be evaluated via rubric by the extent to which they address the following five elements. Upon reviewing your proposal, the EBSS Research Committee will follow-up with any questions.
Do you have questions about the kinds of topics/presentations we’ve had in the past? Take a look at our previous EBSS Research Forum presentations (scroll down)!
Please e-mail Thomas Weeks (tweeks@augusta.edu), Chair, EBSS Research Committee, with any questions.
