Policies:

  • No prerecorded or virtual presentations (except for a few workshops held prior to the meeting), will be permitted.
  • All presenters listed in the submission will need to register for the meeting by the Early Bird Deadline in August in order to present their work.

In order to be included in the conference Program and Proceedings, at least one author must register and attend the meeting in person to present.

A Note About the Conference Theme: Research into Practice

We are keen to receive contributions of any type that align with the main conference theme of research being applied into practice. These papers should have the potential to stimulate discussion at the conference and produce transferable lessons to other researchers on how to create impact from research.

Contributions will be treated as a special category of long papers, short papers, or posters but will undergo the same rigorous review process. These papers should describe how library and information science research has been translated into a practice situation or policy outcome, and the resulting effects. Such papers should contain: a description of the underlying research, a description of mechanisms or processes by which the research was translated into concrete outcomes, a description of who was affected and in what way by these outcomes, and a reflection of the process of translating research into practice or policy. Authors may be describing a translation of their own research, or of L&IS research conducted by others; what we are interested in is the translation of research for societal uptake and impact.

Submissions of this type should use the keyword Research into Practice at submission time.
