Research Design and Librarianship - free ACRL webinar on 9/29

I just received message about this free webinar on 9/29, 2-3 pm EST -

Conducting research is an integral part of academic librarianship. To help equip librarians to design and conduct research projects the Loyola Marymount University William H. Hannon Library created the Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (http://irdlonline.org). Hear from participants of this intensive two-week crash course in research methods and get their tips on research design. They’ll describe the projects they’ve created using their new skills and offer insights to inspire fellow librarians to conduct their own projects.

Date/Time:

September 29, 2015 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm ET
