DEADLINE – July 15, 2013

The competition is open to all types of methodology. Papers must be limited to description and discussion of a research method or a technique associated with a particular research method. Papers must explain the particular method/technique, including methodological implications for library and information science. Papers that stress findings are not eligible for this competition. Methodology papers completed in pursuit of master’s and doctoral studies (e.g. thesis, seminars, dissertation, course work paper) are eligible, as are papers generated as a result of a research grant or other source of funding.

Please let us know by June 14 if you have other ideas or if you have suggestions for speakers. Focusing on something related to the theme of “Educational Entrepreneurship” would be ideal. Thanks!
