Colleagues,
All academic librarians in the United States and Canada are invited to participate in a survey about student success in academic libraries.
The research project is an examination and analysis of student success initiatives in academic libraries. The researchers seek to find out how institutions define student success, how resources (positions, spaces, and programming) are being allocated to and developed for student success, what campus-wide partnerships or collaborations are being created, and assessment of these efforts.
If you choose to participate, you will be asked to complete a survey that asks you about student success initiatives on your campus and at your library. The survey is expected to take between 10 and 20 minutes to complete.
Participation in this study is entirely voluntary and anonymous. You can choose to complete the survey or not and may decide to stop the survey and leave the study at any time. Participation carries no known risks. There will be no costs for participating.
If you would like to participate in the survey, please use this link to access it. The survey will close on Friday, January 8, 2021.
The following investigators are available for questions about this study.
