the Rock in Your Shoe?”
June 12 - 14, 2012.

This virtual preconference provides insight and guidance into the world

research strategies and explore avenues for sharing results with 
colleagues.  Demystify the research process and be encouraged  to 
contribute to the body of knowledge in the discipline.  This virtual 
preconference is aimed at librarians entering the profession and/or new 
to the research process.
