CFP: EBSS (Education and Behavioral Sciences Section) Research Forum, ALA Annual
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.
