Library Research Round Table (LRRT)

The Library Research Round Table (LRRT) was founded in 1968 to contribute toward the extension and improvement of library research; to provide public program opportunities for describing and evaluating library research projects and for disseminating their findings; to inform and educate ALA members concerning research techniques and their usefulness in obtaining information with which to reach administrative decisions and solve problems; and expand the theoretical base of the field. LRRT also, serves as a forum for discussion and action on issues related to the literature and information needs for the field of library and information science.

See: LRRT's ALA Annual Conference sessions, including presentations on Practical Problem Solving, Research to Understand Users, and examples of Creativity and Innovation in libraries!
