My research needs you!
I am looking for librarians and publishing representatives willing to
talk with me for 45 minutes about their work and their perceptions of
the relationships and negotiations between publishers and libraries.
Who am I? M. Kathleen Kern, a librarian and PhD student at the
University of Illinois at Urbana.
What is this about? I am conducting a study of library-publisher
relations in the Scientific, Technical, and Medical (STM) information
marketplace. The aim of this research is to improve, or at least to
illuminate, the relations between publishers and libraries.
When and where are the interviews? I will be conducting interviews
during the ACRL National Conference 4/9-4/13 and the STM Spring
Conference 4/30-5/3, 2013. Interviews will take place at a nearby hotel
and will be one-on-one and confidential. Responses used in my research
will be anonymous.
Who can participate? You are eligible if you are:
An academic or research center librarian who works with purchasing
and negotiations with e-journal/e-resource publishers OR
An STM publishing sales representative or sales/customer relations
manager who works with purchasing and negotiations of e-journal
contracts with academic or research center libraries
How do I set up an interview? If you are interested in participating in
this study or learning more about my research, please contact me at

Best,
Kathleen
