LibParlor Classifieds are a way to connect with members of the community to discuss research. Use this page to browse opportunities or consider posting a classifieds yourself. There are three types of classifieds:
- Seek Connections. You’re looking for others who are interested in the same research topic or research method. You’re looking to connect but not have a specific project in mind.
- Share Opportunities. You’ve got something, research-related, that you’d like to share with a larger audience. This could be a book chapter proposal, request to take a survey, or participate in a panel/webinar/workshop.
- Build Collaborations. You’ve got a project in mind and you’re looking for a collaborator(s). You want to find others who are interested in the same topic and have the space to work on a project with you. This could be a conference proposal, or a long term research project.
Classifieds are posted on the 1st and 15th of each month in a blog post, and will remain on this page for a length of time that you specify. Questions can be directed to libparlor@gmail.com. Please fill out our Google Form to see your classifieds on this page!

From Kelleen Maluski: Come be a part of our writing/projecting group! These are regularly scheduled Zoom sessions where people can spend time working on their writing, special projects, etc. and have a community of accountability. These sessions will start with 1 minute each to discuss your projects or goals and end with a wrap up of how the process went. There should be about an hour total of writing/projecting time and we will also create breakout rooms if people want to discuss their work more and/or have writing partners. Open to students and all library workers. More information and how to join here.
