Registration is open for the ACRL Distance and Online Learning Section (DOLS) Research and Publications Committee Spring 2026 Author Forum, “Librarians as Researchers”. It will take place online Wednesday, May 13, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM CDT.
Please join us for a moderated panel featuring three librarians who will pull back the curtain on their evolution from practitioners to published researchers. Our panelists will share diverse pathways-from navigating institutional support to overcoming the hurdles of the peer-review process. Whether you are contemplating your first project or looking to revitalize your research agenda, bring your curiosity for a candid discussion followed by an interactive Q&A session.
