Good Morning, Some of you may know Sharon Murphy, currently a librarian at Queens University. Her request to interview librarian researchers has been posted on OCULA, CLA, and CAPAL - so this may be the second time you are seeing it. The Atlantic region is currently under-represented, and she is hoping some members of the APLA community will volunteer to participate (see description below). Thanks, Gwendolyn MacNairn Computer Science Librarian Dalhousie University Email: [log in to unmask] --------------------------------------------------------------- Impact of Research on Practice for Canadian Academic Librarians Call for Interview Participation Dear Colleagues, I am a librarian at Queen's University studying the impact of conducting research on our professional practice. I am inviting Canadian colleagues from university and college libraries and who have completed a sabbatical/academic leave in the past 5 years (i.e. 2008-2013) to participate in an interview with me about your experience. This study will investigate what effect(s) the act of conducting research has on our professional practice. What do we gain individually and collectively by being research-practitioners? Interviews will take place over the next 2-3 months by phone/skype, will be recorded and should last 30-60 minutes. Please indicate your willingness and consent to participate by contacting: Sharon Murphy <[log in to unmask]> and I will send a full letter of information to you. Thank you.
