ACRL Research Writer's Consultations @ ALA Annual
New for the 2009 ALA Annual Conference!  The ACRL Research Program
Committee (RPC) is sponsoring Research Writer's Consultations at the
2009 ALA Annual Conference, held July 9-15 in Chicago. Aimed at the new
or inexperienced writer, the Research Writer's Consultations will bring
together small groups of two to three writers matched with an
experienced writer or editor, who will offer guidance and critique.

 

AUTHORS
Are you an ACRL member working on a research article? Would you like
some constructive feedback? Submit a draft research paper for
consultation. RPC will match new writers with experienced writers and
the groups will meet face-to-face during the Chicago conference. Draft
research papers must be submitted by June 1, 2009. Papers will be shared
only among members of the designated groups. Submission details follow: 

 

Include on first page: Author's name and contact information in upper
left and a paragraph describing what you would like others to comment on
about your paper (e.g. grammar, writing style, clarity, presentation of
the research methodology, etc).

 

Page limit:  25 double-spaced pages, standard 1" margins

 

Preferred format:  Microsoft Word. Number pages. Footers should include
author's full name and e-mail.

 

Draft research papers should be in complete enough form for others to
read easily.
