Session Description:
Academic LIS researchers have inconsistent research responsibilities and support depending on their institution and position. Some are offered time, mentorship, and professional development funding in order to accomplish goals, while others are asked to conduct research on their own. This paper will identify gaps in our professions support for those interested in pursuing, developing, and publishing library research. Presenters will also share the process they went through and lessons learned from creating an online community for new LIS researchers called LibParlor.
