We are all busy today, wearing many hats and constantly juggling many
responsibilities. How can we find time to undertake a research
project—let alone get it published? Please join our e-forum to discuss
ways to turn your day-to-day activities into a research initiative.
Learn what has worked for others and brainstorm what might work for you.
Learn how to identify publications that best match your project criteria
and how to submit a successful proposal. If you have published your
research project, please share your experiences. What would you do
differently? What good advice did you receive?
Topics to be covered include:
Identifying a research project
Finding a collaborator or team
Performing a literature review
Identifying publications for submission
Submitting a proposal for grants and/or to an institutional review board
Making a project checklist and timeline
Writing up findings
Submitting manuscript and respond to feedback

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 days. Registration is necessary to participate, but
it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:
http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum.
To register:
Instructions for registration are available at:
http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum/sympa. 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. If you have any problems, please contact
alcts-eforum-request_at_ala.org.
