Registration is open for the live MLA webinar “Librarians and Institutional Regulatory Boards and Committees: Finding Your Seat at the Table”. It will take place on Wednesday, July 17, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM CDT. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.
A seat on an IRB (Institutional Review Board) or IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) is a high-visibility activity for librarians that demonstrates the value of their library in institutional research and boosts careers. Susan Harnett and Laureen Cantwell-Jurkovic, authors of Finding Your Seat at The Table: Roles for Librarians on Institutional Regulatory Boards and Committees, a highly-recommended guide for librarians on joining and serving on institutional regulatory boards and committees, will demystify service on IRB and IACUC and show you what’s needed to join them.
They’ll present foundational knowledge on these important committees, and they will also offer guidance on demonstrating the value of your membership on the committees, and on developing the arguments and gaining the support needed to find your seat at the table. You’ll leave the webinar with a list of resources, readings, and training opportunities; greater knowledge and insights into IRBs and IACUCs and librarian roles on them; and strategies and confidence that will help you join them.
