ALCTS webinar: Survive, Thrive & Boost Your Research Productivity

Date: Wednesday, August 24, 2016

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.

Description:

Publish or Perish is the reality for those in academic library tenure and promotion tracks. But where do you begin on a research project and then manage to find the considerable time it takes to pull it through to completion? Daily work-related tasks already may be overwhelming and deadline-driven. How do you then add and juggle a research project in the mix? This webinar will provide practical strategies for jump-starting your scholarly research agenda, increasing research productivity, and managing your time for optimal sanity and results.

Learning outcomes:

Participants will learn practical strategies for:

* Identifying suitable research topics.

* Managing time to allow for research productivity.

* Managing the research process.

* Prioritizing competing and multiple demands.

* Synergizing work and research goals.

Who should attend? Collection Development & Technical Services librarians and staff members
