Abstract
In this age of declining resources with constant demands for
accountability and productivity, an increasing number of librarians have
become researchers and use research in their work. As a result, the LRC
has assumed a larger teaching role. On behalf of the Illinois State Library
and other professional associations, its staff have led workshops for
practicing librarians on such topics as data collection, community
analysis, and statistical methods. This Allerton Conference was
developed as part of that teaching mission. Papers were focused on
topics that could help participants become better consumers of research,
understand new ways in which research can help their libraries, and
be more informed collaborators in the research process. Participants
in the conference also had the opportunity to meet informally to discuss
research problems in their individual libraries. Unfortunately, we have
no way to represent the important content of these discussions in this
printed volume.
