Dear Colleagues,
Are you a librarian in a community or junior college? (By "community or
junior college," we mean any two-year, post-secondary educational
institution that offers an associate’s degree and/or certifications.)
If so, please consider participating in our research study. We are
gathering information about community or junior college librarians’
experiences with research and publication, an area of inquiry that is not
covered in the research literature.
You will be asked to participate in a brief survey, which should take no
more that 15 minutes to complete.
Please see additional information, below, along with a link to the survey.

------------------------------
You are being asked to participate in this research study because you have
been employed within the past 5 years as a librarian at one or more
community or junior college(s). The purpose of this study is to gather
information about community or junior college librarians’ experiences as
research investigators, about their experience publishing or presenting
about their research projects, about barriers they may have experienced,
and about institutional supports for this activity that may have been
available to them.
- If you agree to participate, we will ask you to complete an online
survey which will take approximately 15 minutes of your time.
- Participation carries no known risks. There will be no costs for
participating.
- You will receive no direct benefit for participating. The benefits to
society may include 1) new disciplinary understanding of an area of
professional work that has not previously been studied; 2) identification
of barriers to success that might be mitigated and of opportunities for
increased institutional support.
All responses will be collected anonymously.
Your participation in this research is voluntary. You may end your
participation at any time by closing your internet browser.
