The research seeks to understand the prevalence and nature of MLIS education on the topic of trauma-informed archival labor, and faculty knowledge and interest in such programs. If you are a faculty member teaching any aspect of archival studies in an ALA accredited MLIS program in the USA and would like to participate in this study, please complete the anonymous short online survey<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuarizona.…>.

The survey does not mention specific incidents of traumatic events, or request information about incidents of trauma that the subjects might have experienced in any prior context. Thank you for considering the opportunity to participate in this research project.

Dear faculty and adjuncts, I’m writing with an update on our progress towards ALA accreditation. Last week, I submitted our Self Study Plan to ALA, and Ping Li and I have a meeting with ALA this Thursday to discuss the plan. Our full Self Study is due in mid-November. I have hired Irene Gashurov to lead the writing of the Self Study. Irene is a technical writer with a knowledge of libraries, as she is working with CUNY’s Office of Library Services. If Irene contacts you for information or asks you to supply some text, please assist her as a priority. With thanks, James Dr. James Lowry Acting Chair Associate Professor Information Studies, Queens College<https://sites.google.com/view/qcgslis> City University of New York<https://www.cuny.edu/> Series Editor, Routledge Studies in Archives<https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Studies-in-Archives/book-series/RSARCH> @JamesLowryATL
