The Australian Library and Information Association is
surveying "conference mentoring" if you care to respond.
Conference attendance - short online survey for all Library & Information
Science professionals
Hi there!
As part of research funded by the
Australian Library and
Information Association (ALIA) Study Grant
Award, I am conducting short, online interviews to collect qualitative data
about conference attendance by Library and Information Science (LIS)
professionals.
Whilst this research is related to the ALIA Information Online Conference Mentoring pilot project,
participants do not have to be attending the conference to answer these
questions. In fact, the broader the responses the better, so please feel free to
forward on to LIS professionals and students that you may have access to,
including internationally.
The online survey will only take 5-10
minutes to fill out. The purpose of this research is to: a) create a
guide to conference attendance for new LIS professionals b) inform the
guidelines for participation in the conference mentoring pilot project being run
at ALIA Information Online 2011.
Any research participation is voluntary and in accordance
with the Australian National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research. The
information sheet is available here or can be obtained by contacting the
researcher.
For any queries relating to the research, please contact the
researcher, Naomi
Doessel.
