Call for Presentation Proposals
2011 Library Research Round Table Forums at
ALA Annual Conference,
Washington, DC
The Library Research Round Table (LRRT) will sponsor a Research Forum
at the 2011 American Library Association Annual Conference in New
Orleans (June 23-28) specifically for graduate students.
New Minds, New Approaches
This session will present three graduate students research papers
discussing library-related research projects. Students in the library
and information science graduate programs are invited to submit papers.
The LRRT Forums are a set of programs at the ALA Annual Conference
featuring presentations of LIS research, in progress or completed,
followed by discussion. This is an opportunity to present and discuss
your research project conducted in the broad area of library and
information science or in a more specialized area of the field. LRRT
welcomes papers emphasizing the problems, theories, methodologies, or
significance of research
findings for LIS. Topics can include, but are not limited to, user
studies and user behavior, electronic services, service effectiveness,
organizational structure and personnel, library value determination,
and evaluation of library and information services. Both completed
research and research in progress will be considered. The Committee
will use a blind review process to select a maximum of three projects.
The selected researchers will be required to present their papers in
person at the forums and to register for the conference.
Criteria for selection are:
1. Significance of the study to library and information science
research;
2. Quality and creativity of the methodology;
3. Potential to fill a research gap or to build on previous LIS
studies;
4. Adherence to submission requirements (see below).
Please submit a two-page proposal by Monday February 21. Late
submissions will not be considered, and submissions must be limited to
two pages in length. On the first page, please list your name(s),
title(s), institutional affiliation(s), and contact information
(telephone number, mailing address, and email address). The second
page should NOT show your name or any other identifying information.
Instead, it must include: 1) The title of your project, and 2) A
500-word or less abstract. The abstract must include a problem
statement, problem significance, project objectives, methodology, and
conclusions (or tentative conclusions for work in progress), and an
indication of whether the research is in-progress or completed.
Previously published research or research accepted for publication by
February 21, 2011, will not be considered.
Notification of acceptance will be made by March 1, 2011
Please send submissions (via email or snail mail) to:
