Librarians, particularly those who work in academic settings, are often
expected to do research, write, and publish. How does one get started
doing this, especially if it does not come naturally? How do you get
connected? What about time management, negotiating author rights, and
writing collaboratively? Are book reviews worth doing? These and other
questions are ones that new librarians may have, especially those on the
tenure-track. Whether you are experienced in research and publication,
or just starting out, please join us to have a conversation in regards
to how to launch successful writing projects and how to sustain
productive professional publications throughout your career.

*What is an e-forum?*
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to
participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:
http://bit.ly/upcomingeforum.
*To register:*
Instructions for registration are available at:
http://bit.ly/eforuminfo. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you
do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email
list. Participation is free and open to anyone. Please share this
announcement with all interested.
