Hello,

I am inviting instructors from ALA accredited information/library science programs to participate in a research study examining literature used in collections focused courses (collection development, etc.)

Participants will be asked to fill out a short survey of 6 questions, including a request to share titles or citation information of literature used in their courses. The survey is estimated to take no more than 15 minutes and no personally identifiable information will be collected.

Responses will be analyzed to identify trends and themes in the literature supporting the collections element of library instruction.

The survey and further consent information can be found via Qualtrics. Please contact the PI Kat Brooks at kbrooks@utk.edu or the University of Tennessee, Knoxville IRB office at utkirb@utk.edu with any questions or concerns.

 

Best,

Kat
