Call for Participation - EBSS (Education and Behavioral Sciences Section) Research Forum (ALA Annual 2007)
The Education and Behavioral Sciences Section Research Committee is holding its first annual Research Poster Session and Discussion Forum during the ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC. The forum seeks to provide beginning and established researchers an opportunity to present research in progress, and receive collaborative feedback on their work and recommendations for future publishing.
Attendees to the forum will find an arena for discussion and networking with their colleagues interested in research-related issues and trends in the profession.
The committee will use a blind review process. A subcommittee of five members will act as reviewers.
