ILS Doctoral Research Forum 2022

Welcome to the Department of Information & Library Science Doctoral Research Forum 2022 (ILS-DRF 2022)!

ILS-DRF 2022 will be held on Nov. 4, 2022. The forum provides a great opportunity for doctoral students to present their ongoing research and discuss their ideas with peers and faculty members. This year we have decided to hold the forum in-person, though we are exploring options for the audience to participate digitally.

The Doctoral Research Forum is a yearly event of the ILS. It focuses on motivating Ph.D. students to participate in innovative research through the lens of information science, library science, social sciences, policy studies, and other disciplines. As evaluated by former faculty member, Dr. Xiaozhong Liu, "our doctoral program is the heart of the ILS research community."

Presentation time will vary depending on the number of presentations. At the time of writing, we expect a maximum of 15 minutes to present, followed by 5 minutes QA.

As in the 2021 ILS-DRF, there will be monetary prizes for the presentations ranked 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place by the ILS professors! So make sure to submit a presentation. :)

Please contact us if you have any questions.
