  • 1.  Attending the ACRL conference?

    Posted Feb 03, 2023 08:12 AM

    Are you planning on attending ACRL in March (in person or virtually)? If so, what programming looks interesting to you?

    I guess I'm in a slump...I looked at the program and see very little that excites me (a few sessions related to faculty status, not much of anything about evidence synthesis or other research methods). Am I missing something?

    Cheers,
    Jane

    I'm attending virtually. Aimee Sgourakis Jenkins and I proposed a community chat (in-person and virtual) about evidence synthesis, but we haven't heard back yet if it was accepted. I will keep this list posted on the status of that.

    I didn't realize there was a virtual option. Thanks for the info. I have no desire to go to Pittsburgh in winter!

    FYI, that our proposal for an Evidence Synthesis Community Chat did not get accepted, so there will be no formal space for that. Alas!
