This session will offer a potpourri of current research projects underway at the School of Library, Archival and Information Studies, the iSchool at UBC.  A panel of five current faculty members and doctoral students will paint a picture of the questions driving their research, the projects underway to find answers to those questions, and the emerging results.  Research topics range from e-government information to learning analytics, from collaborative crowdsourced projects to information avoidance, and more.  We will encourage questions and suggestions from the audience and look forward to catching up with alumni and all those interested in the burning research questions of library and information studies!
