EBSS RESEARCH FORUM-2011
 
The Education and Behavioral Sciences Section Research Committee is holding its 5th Annual Research Poster Session and Discussion Forum during the ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans, LA, Saturday, June 25, 2011.  The Research Forum and reception follows the EBSS Program, and will probably take place from 3:30 to 5:00 pm.
 
The Forum seeks to provide beginning and established researchers an opportunity to present research in progress, receive collaborative feedback on their work and recommendations for future publishing.  Research / Posters will be simultaneously presented and discussed in small informal groups.
 
Attendees at the forum will find an arena for discussion and networking with their colleagues interested in research related issues and trends in the profession.  The committee will use a blind review process.
