[Cus-l] [EXTERNAL]CUS Call for Papers for Research forum

[Kathy Wheeler]

Just a reminder. Obviously, the dates have been moved up. Please get
abstracts and vitaes to me by Tuesday, February 11.

Alabama Library Association, College, University, and Special Libraries
Division (CUS)
EBSCO Award for Research Excellence
2020 Call for Proposals

The College, University, and Special Libraries Division of the Alabama
Library Association is interested in your research, and we want to reward
you!  As we do annually, the Research Committee of CUS will be awarding the
EBSCO Award for Research Excellence at the 2020 Alabama Library Association
Convention. A research paper will be chosen for the award and the top three
authors will have the opportunity to present at the 2020 CUS Research
Forum. All presenters are awarded a certificate from the CUS Research
Committee for presenting at the CUS Research Forum. The Forum provides
opportunities to present, as well as to receive feedback about your
research.

Please do not pass up this chance to share your research with librarians
across the state! I have included the criteria and deadlines for submitting
abstracts and papers below. Please let your coworkers or other individuals
who might be interested know about this opportunity.
Students in the SLIS program are especially encouraged to submit their
research. Presenting at the CUS Research Forum is an honor to put on your
resume, it will give you presentation experience, and it will provide you
with ideas on how to fine tune your research for scholarly publication.

Benefits of submission: As well as receiving a monetary award from EBSCO,
the winner of the EBSCO Award for Research Excellence will have the
opportunity to work with the editorial committee of the Southeastern
Librarian to have his/her paper published in the peer-reviewed journal of
the Southeastern Library Association.

Criteria for Submission: Papers submitted for consideration for the CUS
Award for Research Excellence must not have been previously published or
submitted for publication elsewhere. They should also not be in the
pre-publication process nor should they be in consideration for publication
elsewhere.

Eligibility: Any member of the Alabama Library Association (including
student members).
Sponsored by: Research Committee of the College, University and Special
Libraries Division (CUS), Alabama Library Association and EBSCO, Inc.

not appear on the abstract. Send with a one-page vita of the researcher as
a separate document.

Complete papers are due from researchers who are selected to submit papers
following the review of abstracts. Format instructions will be sent with
