Library Research Seminar VIII (LRS VIII)

The Library Research Seminar (LRS) brings together library practitioners, scholars, and students to share ideas and explore emerging research in the field of 21st century library and information science.

This seminar’s theme is Telling Library Stories. We will focus on how to use statistics to tell compelling stories, how research stories reflect library practice, how library stories impact research and development and how libraries can tell stories to advocate for themselves and their communities. In Kentucky, storytelling is situated within strong connection to Appalachian storytelling traditions. Our goal is to connect scholars and librarians or other practitioners in joining to tell library stories and communicate library value.
