    Call Extended! All Submissions Due by March 7

    The call has been extended for the ACRL Science and Technology Section's annual Virtual Research Forum (Wednesday, June 15, 2022) and the pilot STS Lightning Talks (Thursday, June 16, 2022). Registration for ALA Annual and STS membership is NOT required in order to present at either session.

The sessions will consist of asynchronous presentations and commentary hosted online followed by a synchronous virtual Q&A session.

    • brief background information about your project,
    • the research question or problem that drove your project,
    • the methods used,
    • your findings and a brief discussion that includes the impact of your project,
    • a brief description of any equity, diversity, or inclusion considerations in your work.
