The School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at IUPUI and University Library (UL) announce a Research Conference on March 24, 2011, to showcase research by SLIS students and UL Faculty.
The conference will be held, Friday, March 24 from 8:30 AM until
1:30 PM.
Through generous support* the conference is free for
all attendees and includes breakfast, lunch, and great
giveaways!
Keynote speaker, Steven Bell, Associate
University Librarian for Research and Instructional Services, Temple
University Libraries and author of the Blog,
"The Kept-Up Academic
Librarian," will present on "Putting the Science Back in Library
Science: The Research-Practice Connection."
Two SLIS students, Sarah Preskitt and Maurice Rembert will
present their own research projects. Two IUPUI library faculty
members, Rhonda Huisman and William Weare (with SLIS student Matthew
Stevenson), will also present their research projects.
This is a great opportunity for discussion and networking;
therefore, I strongly encourage you to attend. An important aspect
of being a professional librarian is the commitment to life-long
learning, awareness of issues in the field, and engaging with one
and other in the exploration of these issues.
This conference will be held annually –participate as an
attendee this year and next year as a presenter. Think about
it…..
*Sponsors include: IUPUI University Library, SLIS, ALISS, and
the 21st Century Leadership Skills Program.
