PROGRAM                REGISTRATIONS 

Registrations close on 21 September

This year LARK celebrates a decade of fostering evidence-based practice and applied research in library and information studies (LIS). The 2022 Symposium is the main event in LARK’s tenth anniversary year. At this event, we wish to celebrate practice-based research in all its forms. We are inviting paper proposals reporting research findings on any aspect of library and information practice. We will also welcome papers on initiatives aiming to develop and support research in practice.

We invite written proposals for: 

• Lightning talks - short presentations (5-10 minutes) - typically, presentations on work in progress and small practice-based research projects
• Long presentations (20 minutes) - to present results of finished projects
• Panels (30 minutes) including a group of presenters.

Instructions

• Proposal length 
• Lightning talks and long papers  - around 300 words, excluding references
• Panel proposals - around 500 words, including information about presenters
• Indication whether it is for a short or long presentation, or a panel

Proposals will be reviewed by the Program Committee (see below). Presenters will have the opportunity to develop their presentations into full papers for publication in The Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association (JALIA) (following the usual JALIA review processes). 

A small number of presentations may be accepted for remote presentation.
