The Research Committee of the ACRL Science and Technology Section (STS) will host its Research Forum to coincide with the 2024 American Library Association Annual Conference to highlight research and practitioner projects related to science and technology librarianship. The committee is seeking proposals to present at the Annual STS Virtual Research Forum. Registration for ALA Annual and STS membership is not required in order to present at either session.
The STS Research Forum provides an excellent opportunity to share completed or well-in-progress research projects relevant to science and technology librarianship. Presentations will be 20 minutes long, with 10 minutes for Q&A, and the session will be held virtually on Thursday, June 20.
Submissions should include an abstract that clearly addresses the following:
- brief background information about your project
- the research question or problem that drove your project
- the methods used
- your findings and a brief discussion that includes the impact of your project
- a brief description of any equity, diversity, or inclusion considerations in your work.
Note: Proposals are limited to 250 words. Please do not include any identifying elements (name, institution, etc.) in your abstract or title.
Submit proposals here. The deadline is Monday, May 20.
