Survey on Data in Collections Work
From: cory.tucker_at_unlv.edu


Good morning,

A colleague and I are conducting research on the use of data in collections work. The 
COLLDV-L listserv was recommended to us as a means of reaching collection development 
librarians and subject liaisons. Would it be possible to have the following message posted 
to COLLDV-L?

With sincere thanks,

Jeanne Brown, Head of Libraries Assessment, UNLV
Eva Stowers, Health Sciences Librarian and Collection Management Librarian, UNLV

Message:

Greetings. You are invited to participate in a research study.

The purpose of the study is to explore the use of data in collections work. We hope to 
identify prevailing practices in the application of data to collections work, as well as 
attitudes and personnel procedures that may impact those practices.

The populations of interest for this study are collections managers and the librarians who 
have responsibilities related to collections.

If you have received this email but have no responsibilities related to collections, 
please disregard this message, and/or forward it to those in your institution who are 
involved in collections work.

This survey should take 10-20 minutes of your time, depending on the extent of your comments.

The survey will close on Friday, August 19, 2011.

If you are willing to participate and are at least 18 years of age, please use the 
following link to access the survey:

With sincere thanks,

Jeanne Brown, Head of Libraries Assessment, UNLV
