> 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

> 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 November 5, 2010, will not be accepted.

> The submission must consist of no more than two pages. On the first 
> page, please list your name(s), title(s), institutional 
> affiliation(s), and contact information (including your mailing 
> address, telephone number, fax number, and email address). The second
