One of the nice things about being me is that I sometimes get phone calls, seemingly out of the blue, which turn out to have very interesting effects. One of those calls was about the LIS Research Coalition Conference:
http://lisresearch.org/conference-2010/
I was invited to facilitate a couple of sessions, and of course, I accepted. I think it’s a great opportunity for me to take a close look at the current research landscape. Rarely have I felt that research has made any real connection with my experience in delivering library services (although MLA is visibly getting better at commissioning and disseminating research), but as I get into my new Transformation Officer role I expect to make more and better use of internal and external research. I’d be very interested to know how other people feel about their relationship to published research in the library domain.
If you’re going to be at the conference, do find me and say hi. Just don’t heckle me…
