The mission of the Library Research Round Table (LRRT) is to contribute toward the extension and improvement of library research; to provide public program opportunities for describing and evaluating library research projects and for disseminating their findings; to inform and educate ALA members concerning research techniques and their usefulness in obtaining information with which to reach administrative decisions and solve problems; and expand the theoretical base of the field. LRRT also, serves as a forum for discussion and action on issues related to the literature and information needs for the field of library and information science.

  • 1.  LRRT at ALA Virtual Event

    Greetings LRRT Members,

    When ALA moved the 2020 Annual Conference to a Virtual Event due to COVID-19, I asked the researchers whose papers had been selected for the LRRT Research Forum and for the LRRT Chair's Program to complete an impossible task:  to pare down their presentations (which would have been 15 to 20 minutes each with additional time for questions) to FIVE minutes each.  They most graciously obliged and did an amazing job sharing key findings during our LRRT Virtual Event session on Wednesday, June 24.  I am thrilled to now be able to share with you the recording and closed captioning from the session:
