Greetings Library Colleagues, I am writing to you to request your participation in a brief survey. This is a survey about African-American librarians who reside and work in the United States in all kinds of libraries, including academic, public, and special libraries. I want to get your feedback about your experiences in your respective fields. This survey will open some more conversation and further research on this topic and will be a valuable addition to the library literature with its results. The survey should not take more than 20 minutes to complete. Please click on the link below to go to the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AA-librarians This survey is posted on multiple lists; therefore, please accept my apologies for duplications. Each month it will repeat in list-serves until the survey is closed. The results will be published after the survey is completed. Your participation in the survey is entirely voluntary. Any personal information will be kept strictly confidential according to the IRB standards and laws of the United States. The Elizabeth City State University Institutional Review Board has approved this survey. Please read the consent page before taking the survey. Should you have questions, comments, or problems accessing the survey, please contact me at libraryspence@gmail.com<mailto:libraryspence@gmail.com>.
