The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS), a
division of the American Library Association (ALA), will offer three
preconferences at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago. The registration
deadline is June 7.
One of these three is "Small Scale Research Methods for On the Job Problem
Solving." It has been developed by the ALCTS Research and Statistics
Committee and will be held on Friday, July 7, 2000, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m.
The program is designed for reference and technical service librarians,
library managers, and anyone interested in publishing or doing systematic
study. Participants will learn how to formulate productive research
questions, define the audience, select the right methodology, correctly
gather data and apply correct measurement instruments, and analyze the
results for the best conclusions.

Registration fees for the preconference are $135 for ALCTS members, $185
for ALA members and $235 for nonmembers. To register, go to
https://cs.ala.org/ or use the form in your April American Libraries.

staff who may not be on one of the lists utilized.)
