Participants’ enthusiastic response to the past seven Research Forums confirms that the full spectrum of research activities – from “pure” research to applied research to innovative practice – is of interest and value to the archives community. The 2014 Research Forum will build on previous success by continuing with a full day of presentations.
If you’re engaged in research… seeking to identify research-based solutions for your institution… willing to participate in the research cycle by serving as a beta site for research trials… or simply interested in what’s happening in research and innovation…
Researchers, practitioners, educators, students, and the curious across all sectors of archives and records management are invited to participate. Use the Forum to discuss, debate, plan, organize, evaluate, or motivate research projects and initiatives. The event seeks to facilitate collaboration and help inform researchers about what questions and problems need to be tackled.
Archivists from around the country and the world will convene at ARCHIVES*RECORDS: Ensuring Access, the Joint Annual Meeting of CoSA, NAGARA, and SAA. The Research Forum will provide a platform to acknowledge current – and encourage future – research and innovation from across the broad archives community and for the benefit of the archives profession.
The following events are planned for 2014:
Call for Platform and Poster PresentationsSAA invites submission of abstracts (of 250 words or fewer) for either 10-minute platform presentations or poster presentations. Topics may address research on, or innovations in, any aspect of archives practice or records management in government, corporate, academic, scientific, or other setting. Presentations on research results that may have emerged since the 2014 Annual Meeting Call for Proposals deadline in October 2013 are welcome, as are reports on research completed within the past three years that you think is relevant and valuable for discussion. Please indicate whether you intend a platform or poster presentation. Abstracts will be evaluated by a review committee co-chaired by Nancy McGovern (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Helen Tibbo (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill). Deadline for submission of abstracts: May 1, 2014. You will be notified of the review committee’s decision by July 1 (in advance of the Early-Bird registration deadline). Submit your 250-word abstract no later than May 1 via email to researchforum@archivists.org. Please be sure to include a title and your name, affiliation, email address, and whether your proposal is for a platform or poster presentation. |
