Contributed Paper Session Format Details
The Contributed Papers Committee invites research and position papers
that
challenge current assumptions and provoke conference participants to
think
creatively about issues facing academic and research librarians. Papers
may
report the results of completed research, describe research in
progress, or
present a position on a compelling problem or issue in one or more of
the
conference tracks. Research papers should highlight the problem,
results, and
conclusions while very briefly touching on method.
In an effort to maximize interactivity and to provide more
opportunities for
participation, papers will be grouped in threes, and each paper must be
delivered in a maximum of twelve minutes, with an additional seven
minutes for
questions (20 minutes total) within a 60–minute time slot for all three
papers. Completed papers should be about 2,500 words and should be
scholarly, well organized, clearly written, and rigorously argued.
Completed
papers must be provided no later than December 19, 2010.
