Library Research Seminar

The Library Research Seminar (LRS) brings together library practitioners, scholars, and students to share ideas and explore emerging research in library and information science. It is a unique opportunity to gather with fellow professionals in a collegial setting to uncover new approaches for supporting evidence-based practice. LRS has taken place every 3-4 years since 1996 at a different location each time. Watch for a call to host Library Research Seminar IX at your institution.
