You’re Probably Already Doing Research: Designing and Conducting a Research Project – Friday 12th June, 1-2:30pm
This 90-minute workshop is designed for practitioners who are interested in starting or getting back into empirical research. It will go over the process of idea generation, developing research questions, research design, conducting collaborative research, and potential methods for data collection. If you’re not sure where to get started with research, or you just want some guidance on how to go about dipping your toes back into research practice, then this session is for you.
Finding your ‘academic voice’: writing for research journals – Friday 7th August, 1-2:30pm
Are you doing, or planning, a research project and want to know how to write about it for an academic journal? Is it the first time you’ve written a research article? Or a while since you last did any academic writing? This 90-minute session is designed to give you more confidence and help you to find your ‘academic voice’. We’ll look at what ‘academic writing’ means and provide practical guidance on ways to structure an article. There will also be an opportunity to practise developing an outline for an article.
These sessions are sponsored by the Journal of Information Literacy, which is an open-access journal that publishes innovative and challenging research articles and project reports that push the boundaries of information literacy thinking in theory, practice and method. We welcome submissions from librarians, scholars and practitioners alike!
Tickets are free and open to all.
