Keynote Address

Kris Brancolini & Marie Kennedy
Loyola Marymount University

“Have you ever seen a colleague’s lengthy CV and thought to yourself, “How in the heck did they do all that?” In this presentation we will talk about the factors that increase the possibility of a librarian-researcher conducting and sharing the results of original research. We situate the presentation in evidence from the literature and tell you how it shaped the development of the program we co-direct, the Institute for Research Design in Librarianship. This presentation will give you tips to take home and implement immediately, to increase your own productivity.”
