Call: Education and Behavioral Sciences Section research forum

The ACRL Education and Behavioral Sciences Section invites proposals for presentations at their virtual research forum, to be held online on 6 May 2026. The propsal deadline is 16 March 2026. The proposals should report on research (at any stage - it doesn't have to be completed) "relevant to library work in education, behavioral, or social sciences or to academic libraries in general."
The presentations will take the form of 10-minute lightning talks. "Proposals will be evaluated via rubric by the extent to which they address the following five elements. [which are research design, relevance & value, originality, EDI and project status] Upon reviewing your proposal, the EBSS Research Committee will follow-up with any questions. You do not need to be a member of ALA or ACRL to submit a proposal."
The proposal form is at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkNtdaULTeTDycIIjCgUhoFCGPMolQvau-WYrxqD3iUx5_iQ/viewform
