Call for Proposals (CFPs)

Finding mentors & meeting other LIS researchers

  • ALIMB (archives, library, and information mentor base) is designed to help new professionals in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums connect with more experienced members.
  • #critlib offers collaborative documents to help connect with other like-minded folks

Professional development opportunities around research

  • IRDL, a program that aims to support new researchers by providing them the additional training they need to complete current (and future) research projects. The program happens in June each year; applications open in December and close in late January.
  • Research Institute for Public Libraries (RILP) is an event for public library leaders and colleagues interested in public library data and evaluation.
  • The Research Training Institute Fellowship Program for Health Sciences Librarians (RTI) of the Medical Library Association (MLA) is a virtual continuing education program that provides advanced research methods training and an intensive level of support for health sciences librarians to design, conduct and successfully disseminate a research project.
