This informational session, which is part 1 of a three-part series, was to get us ready... for the next session we are planning a research speed-dating event; this event will take place in June and will provide attendees multiple opportunities to discuss their research ideas with their colleagues and hear from others about their research ideas. Our goal for this second event is to match possible research collaborators together. For July or August, we are planning an event where people who are interested in undertaking a research project talk about it and get tips from the committee, Library Organization Research Administration (LORA) representatives, and the LAUC-LA Representative to the LAUC Research and Professional Development Committee. We also plan to discuss funding opportunities at this third event.
What ideas do you have for how we should approach future events? Future efforts to promote LAUC funding opportunities? Efforts to assist librarians turn their research interest into a plan? Change of method? Via Elluminate? We currently push information out on LAUC-Talk. What about adding deadlines to Outlook?
