    Dear colleagues,

    A few of us are wondering if anyone else might be attending the 2025 American Educational Research Association (AERA) Annual Meeting in Denver next week, 4/23-4/27. If you are attending and interested in joining a meetup of other library workers, fill out this Qualtrics form by Monday, 4/21, and I'll reach out to coordinate details on Tuesday, 4/22:  https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cu6m8cAz8PUph5Q   [no need to reply here via ALA Connect].

    If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly via email: alex_hodges@gse.harvard.edu
    Cheers!

    I see there is a CE entitled "Introduction to Systematic Reviews" and nary a librarian on that team of instructors.  As a former systematic review librarian I do hope some of you will show up to correct them on their mistaken notions about lit searching and the like!  MUHUUHAAAA!!!

    Seriously though, while I don't doubt their knowledge, I'm sure they are all highly qualified I very disappointed to see that there isn't a librarian on that team of instructors.   (Perhaps they will strongly suggest attendees see their librarians at their respective institutions.)  I've worked with a lot of super intelligent and gifted researchers, but, as you all know they need some guidance with aspects of SRs but you all already know that.
