The IRDL Online Research Conferences showcased some of the most creative thinking in research methods geared for the 21st-century librarian. The conference was the first research methods-focused conference of its kind in the United States and offered a friendly and inclusive environment to increase participants' understanding of methodologies and research in practice.
During an engaging two days, participants had opportunities to share their current research, reflect on research challenges, and enjoy a variety of seminars and hands-on practice sessions with some of the most inventive researchers in the field.
The conference was designed to create a community and enhance research collaboration. Its purpose was to facilitate discussions of new perspectives, experiences, and innovations in library research design and methodologies.
This conference was supported by IMLS funding and organized by the Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL Online) and the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC).
The agenda and slides for the presentations at the 2022 and 2024 conference are available at https://digitalcommons.lmu.edu/irdlconference/.
