TOPIC

Research as a Librarian

I'm in my 3rd semester of my MLIS and I just submitted my first research paper of the program. I haven't taken the intro to research course yet and it's been a good 10 years since I had to write a paper so needless to say I was feeling very rusty and unsure about the expectations.

I thought that would make for an interesting topic. So let's talk about what kinds of research you did in your programs. Let's talk about what kinds of research you're doing/have done in your jobs (or if you even have to).

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE'VE CHANGED THE TIME TO 8:30PM ET!

#LISprochat lead-in - topic & questions for ANNUAL CONFERENCE CHAT Mon Jul 13 & Wed Jul 22 2020 - 8:30pm ET

"Video conference online" by Alexandra_Koch

TOPIC

POST CONFERENCE CHAT!

Hard to believe it but it's that time of year again. The time of year where we run our annual feature to help those of you who went to either SLA Annual or ALA Annual share what you learned with your colleagues who for whatever reason could not/did not attend. This way those of us who were #ALAleftbehind/#SLAleftbehind can still can some benefits from those sweet, sweet sessions, panels, and presentations.

With the proliferation of virtual conferences this year please feel free to come and discuss any other conferences you've been to lately! I myself will be talking about the OTN 2020 Summit, SUNLYA2020 and ABC Copyright 2020.
