    Have you wanted to pursue your own research in Library and Information Science (LIS) but are unsure of how to start? You aren’t alone - the lack of affordable, accessible, and effective training opportunities means many library workers do not have the resources, time, or support to learn how to do research effectively, which leads to a field that lacks diverse, inclusive, and robust scholarship. Utilizing funds granted by the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences, the presenters of this session have created a free, sustainable curriculum that provides library workers with the foundational knowledge and specialized skills necessary to conduct and publish rigorous original research in an effort toward improving LIS literature and promoting lifelong learning. This curriculum centers reflection and encourages learners to use their own lived experiences to inform their research journey, while also offering vital information that serves to democratize the often-privileged information around research and publishing for the public good. This presentation will serve as the official launch of LibParlor Online Learning: An Open Source Curriculum for LIS Researchers, and will share preliminary pilot participant data to demonstrate how the curriculum has resonated with learners. Attendees interested in LIS research will learn how this curriculum could be of use to their own professional development as well as others in the field. Attendees will also be able to evaluate the curriculum and receive support from the presenters on how to embed this program into their own library organizations to support a robust culture of research.

    This presentation provides an overview of LibParlor Online Learning, a free, open-source online curriculum of learning modules, and share how this professional development program will build the capacity for academic Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals to conduct and publish rigorous original research. The lack of affordable, accessible, and effective training opportunities means many librarians do not have the resources, time, or support to learn how to do research, and this leads to a field that lacks diverse, inclusive, and robust scholarship. The presenters have created grant funded open-source online curriculum that will provide LIS professionals with the foundational knowledge and specialized skills necessary to conduct and publish rigorous original research. This work will democratize the often privileged information around research and publishing in an effort toward diversifying and improving LIS literature.

    The Librarian Parlor (aka LibParlor or #LibParlor) is an online space ( https://libparlor.com) for conversing, sharing expertise, and asking questions about the process of pursuing, developing, and publishing library research. LibParlor provides a community for new-to-research library workers as they consider a research agenda and provide support as they may face a number of challenges. LibParlor aims to address these challenges in part by collecting and showcasing honest reflections, conversations, and how-tos from library professionals engaged in library research. In providing this space, LibParlor aims to spark conversation and cultivate a community of researchers. This poster presents the mission and vision of LibParlor, how we got started, some of the work we’ve done, and plans for the future. We share what we have learned through the formation of an online community, including the importance of having established workflows, detailed editorial policies, and clear communication between members of the team as well as writers. This poster shares our lessons learned and takeaways for others wanting to start a new group. For example, early on we spent a considerable amount of time developing internal and external workflow documents. However, now our processes are documented and clear for contributors. We would also provide recommendations for getting buy-in from major stakeholders before starting a project like this.
