> This is an opportunity to present and discuss your research. Both 
> completed research and research in progress will be considered. All 
> researchers, including collection practitioners from all types of 
> libraries, library school faculty and students, and other interested 
> individuals, are encouraged to submit a proposal.
>
> The Committee will use a "blind review” process to select two 
> projects. The selected researchers are required to present their 
> papers in person at the forum. Each researcher should plan for a 25-30 
> minute presentation, with a 10-15 minute open discussion following 
> each presentation. Criteria for selection are:
> Significance of the study for improving collection management and 
> development practices
> Potential for research to fill a gap in collections scholarship or to 
> build on previous studies
> Quality and creativity of the methodology
> Previously published research or research accepted for publication 
> prior to December 31, 2009 will not be accepted.

> affiliation(s), and contact information (including your mailing
