The _ACRL Science and Technology Section's (STS) Research Committee_
invites submission of abstracts of research papers to be given at the
STS Forum for Science & Technology Library Research on Sunday, June 29,
2008, from 4:00-5:30 pm at the ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim, CA. The
Research Forum provides an excellent opportunity to share recent
research addressing issues in science and technology librarianship in
its broadest sense. Two proposals will be selected through a blind
review process on the basis of timeliness, evidence of scholarship, and
relevance to science and technology librarianship.

ABSTRACT: An abstract not exceeding 250 words should convey the title
and purpose of the project, its scope, methodology, conclusions, and
relevance to science and technology librarianship. Priority will be
given to papers that indicate research analyses, either quantitative or
qualitative.

*DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: Monday, January 7, 2008*. Review
of submissions will begin immediately by the STS Research Committee.

PAPERS: Acceptance of proposals reflects a commitment by the author(s)
to provide presentations of no longer than 30 minutes at the ALA Annual
Conference in Anaheim, CA.

[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>, Co-Chair of the STS Research
