THE PROGRAM

Program Title:  Why Can't Johnnie and Jane Get Published :  Research Basics

WHAT:
Johnnie and Jane are intelligent, hardworking librarians, but they find
the obstacles to getting that first research article published almost
insurmountable.  Fortunately for them, ALCTS is sponsoring a program that
will bring together a team comprised of published authors skilled in
research methods and an experienced journal editor along with a
facilitator who will help guide Jane and Johnnie (us) through the research
process including defining of the research topic, selecting the
appropriate research methodology, and conducting the research to publish
the findings.
