📣 Call for Survey Participants: Troublesome Technologies and Learning Trajectories in Digital Preservation Practice

[Apologies for cross-posting!]

Hello everybody,

We are looking for participants for our study on "Troublesome Technologies
and Learning Trajectories in Digital Preservation Practice," conducted by
Dr Giulia Osti (that's me) and Assoc. Prof. Amber Cushing at the School of
Information and Communication Studies, University College Dublin.

This study aims to understand how digital preservation practitioners
experience, navigate, and overcome learning hurdles when faced with
counterintuitive or challenging technologies throughout their professional
trajectories.

What is involved?

   -

   Strand 1 (Online Survey): A brief online survey taking approximately
   9–12 minutes. You can participate anonymously.
   -

   Optional Strand 2 (Follow-up): At the end of the survey, you may
   voluntarily express interest in taking part in a short prompt-guided
   written reflection and eventually be selected for a short online interview.

Who should participate?

We are seeking digital preservation practitioners with at least one year of
experience in digital preservation or a closely related area, particularly
those with practical, hands-on work beyond academic settings.

How to participate:

Participation is entirely voluntary; to get additional information and

study, please do not hesitate to contact me (giulia.osti_at_ucd.ie) or reach

Thank you for your time!
