Call for Collaborators: Potential ACRL 2027 Presentation on Evidence Synthesis Training for Graduate Students–Deadline Mon., April 13

Posted on March 30, 2026 by Eric Edwards

(via Dr. Christina Chan-Park, Baylor University)

I am hoping to convene a panel for ACRL 2027 in Portland, OR, and am looking for 3-5 collaborators. If the panel is not accepted, I hope to rework the submission as a roundtable. The eventual goal is to produce a peer-reviewed paper based on our examples/case studies.

The topic is related to Evidence Synthesis instruction and coursework/assignments for training graduate students that librarians help design or support. The focus is NOT on helping graduate students produce publishable reviews. I am looking for librarians who have experience with a variety of assignment types and levels. Ideally, the panel would include examples from many disciplines.  To a lesser extent, I am interested in librarians who teach formal courses in ES. The panel discussion will include pros and cons of various assignments/experiences as well as pro-tips for librarians starting ES training for graduate students.

If you are interested in being part of this panel, please use this form (which also contains more information about the framing) to submit your 1-3 examples by 9:00 AM CDT on Monday, April 13. I hope to notify participants by April 20 so that we have plenty of time to meet and craft the submission before June.
