Welcome to the Research Section!

Thanks for visiting our website.

Research Section members:

Please help the Research Section Strategic Planning Committee by taking the Survey on Research Activities of Librarians. The Survey can be found at:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZFJJHVK

The survey will inform the Research Section’s Strategic Plan and will further our understanding of the research behaviors of MLA members. It will also help the Research Section react quickly to issues affecting members and the quality of their membership experience. This survey should only take about 10 minutes. Your answers will be completely anonymous. Survey summaries will be reported in Hypothesis (Research Section journal publication) and MLA Focus. All members of MLA are encouraged to participate. Participants in the survey will have the opportunity of entering into a drawing for $200 toward a 2011 MLA conference registration. The survey will be available through February 25.
