You are invited to the online launch of the Library and Information Science Research Australia (LISRA) project.

If we should embrace the practitioner-research approach to professional practice, how do we achieve this?

Is it a realistic goal or expectation that all library and information professionals should be practitioner researchers?

What are the issues and challenges in embracing practitioner-researcher as an approach to professional practice?

What are the benefits or opportunities in embracing practitioner-researcher as an approach to professional practice?

Will embracing the practitioner-researcher approach enable help ensure the library and information professional continues to be relevant, sustainable and impactful?

To what extent is research valued and has impact on the practice of library and information professionals?

What are the links and interconnections between library and information professionals and academic researchers?
