Pre-Screening Questionnaire for Intersectionality at the Reference Desk Interviews
The questionnaire linked below is part of a research study aimed at examining personal identity and intersectionality at the reference desk. We are looking to recruit self-identified women of color librarians to interview about their experiences working with the public in libraries. We hope to learn about and understand how one’s personal identity can shape how they experience workplace interactions, and how they approach their work in public services.
If you are interested in being interviewed, please complete this online questionnaire (estimated <10 minutes to complete). We will follow up with selected participants to be interviewed via email no later than December 18, 2015. Findings will be reported in The Feminist Reference Desk, edited by Maria Accardi; with potential for other future publications.
Pre-screening questions will be collected online through the survey tool Qualtrics. To protect the confidentiality of survey respondents the collection of IP addresses will be disabled in the survey results. Qualtrics is a secure survey tool. The answers provided will only be used for recruitment purposes. All data will be destroyed after completion of the study.
Participation is voluntary and participants are free to withdraw at any time, or may choose to only answer specific questions.
To complete this questionnaire you must be 18 years or older.
