Forging the Future of LIS Researchers Through Community

Abstract
This session will share lessons learned from a current grant to create free educational LIS research training and share the hidden information and complexities that a project like this entails. Panelists will provide data from a needs assessment and identify the major barriers and solutions for LIS workers interested in pursuing and conducting research, identify how collaborations and relationship-building across the LIS community can help create the infrastructure for shared learning, and describe the process of identifying and creating a curriculum through online modules. Attendees will get a unique look inside the process of navigating a current grant project, understand the needs of LIS researchers, and learn how to involve the LIS community in the grant process.
