Subject: [ACQNET-L] ACQflash: Continuing education opportunity for academic and research librarians<br>
To: ACQNET-L <<a href="mailto:acqnet-l@lists.ibiblio.org">acqnet-l@lists.ibiblio.org</a>><br>
<br>
<br>
The William H. Hannon Library has received a three-year grant from the<br>
Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to offer a nine-day<br>
continuing education opportunity for academic and research librarians.<br>
Each year 21 librarians will receive instruction in research design and<br>
a full year of support to complete a research project at their home<br>
institutions. The summer Institute for Research Design in Librarianship<br>
(IRDL) is supplemented with pre-institute learning activities and a<br>
personal learning network that provides ongoing mentoring. The<br>
institutes will be held on the campus of Loyola Marymount University in<br>
Los Angeles, California. For more information about the project,<br>
including the project partners, the School of Library and Information<br>
Science at San José State University and the Statewide California<br>
Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC), please see the project website:<br>
<a href="http://irdlonline.org" target="_blank">http://irdlonline.org</a>.<br>
The first institute will be held on June 16-26, 2014, with arrival on<br>
campus on Sunday, June 15, and departure on Friday, June 27.<br>
We are now issuing a call for applications for the IRDL 2014. We are<br>
seeking novice librarian researchers who are employed by academic<br>
libraries or research libraries outside an academic setting in the<br>
United States to participate in the institute. We define novice<br>
researchers as those who may have conducted research but have not yet<br>
had an article published or a presentation accepted by a peer-reviewed<br>
publication or conference; librarians who have presented peer-reviewed<br>
poster sessions will be eligible. Librarians of all levels of<br>
professional experience are welcome to apply.<br>
We seek librarians with a passion for research and a desire to improve<br>
their research skills. The project is designed to bring together all<br>
that the literature tells us about the necessary conditions for<br>
librarians to conduct valid and reliable research in an institutional<br>
setting. The cohort will be chosen from a selective submission process,<br>
with an emphasis on enthusiasm for research and diversity from a variety<br>
of perspectives, including ethnicity and type and size of library.<br>
The Advisory Committee, comprised of librarians with research experience<br>
in a variety of settings, will use an open review process to select<br>
participants who will travel to Los Angeles, California, participate in<br>
all institute activities, and conduct a research project during the<br>
2014-2015 academic year. The online application requests a proposed<br>
research project that will be revised at the institute and will be the<br>
basis for the study to be completed in the coming year.<br>
Selection criteria:<br>
<br>
· Significance of the research problem to the operational<br>
success of the applicant's library or to the profession of librarianship;<br>
<br>
· Clarity of the proposed methodology;<br>
<br>
· Enthusiasm for research and desire to learn;<br>
<br>
· Commitment to the year-long process of communicating with<br>
other participants and conducting the proposed study.<br>
We will be accepting applications from December 1, 2013 to February 1, 2014.<br>
Scholars accepted to the Institute will be notified by March 1, 2014.<br>
Please contact Project Directors with any questions about the Institute<br>
or the application process:<br>
