Program description:

To respond to a popular demand, this ALCTS research program comes back at
the 2005 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago. As you remember, Johnnie and
Jane (librarians) gained a better understanding of research basics from
the ALCTS program, "Why Can't Johnnie and Jane Get Published, Research
Basics," held in Toronto in June 2003.  They are now ready to conduct
their first research project. Led by a panel of experts, Trisha Davis,
Claudia Gollop, Peggy Johnson, and Barbara Moran, this program will
provide an overview of format of a research paper, in-depth presentations
and discussions on selecting appropriate research methodologies to carry
out the project, data collection procedures, presentation of analysis, and
getting the research findings published in a refereed journal. This is an
interactive program. The audience will have opportunities to interact with
the panel and with other participants through group discussions and Q&A
sessions.  The ALCTS Acquisitions Section's Committee on Research and
Statistics has prepared an extensive handout for the audience.  See the
URL at the end of this announcement and please bring the handout, come to
the program, and be an active participant in this one-of-the-kind research
session at the 2005 ALA Annual.
