    Research Project Title: Publishing Practices of Early Career Librarians


    While the publishing practices of academic librarians as a whole have been studied for many years, we seek to understand the factors that affect the publishing practices of early career librarians via an online survey. This project has been approved by Oakland University’s Institutional Review Board (Project # 1153646).


    To participate in this survey, you must:



    • Currently work in an academic library (full time or part time)

    • Have worked in an academic library for five years or less after graduate school


    An MLS/MLIS/MSI degree is not required to participate in this survey, but current library school students are not eligible to participate. Please consider forwarding this survey to early career librarians at your institution. 


    This survey should take approximately 15 minutes. Participation in this survey is voluntary. Participants may opt out at any time. All survey responses are anonymous.
