Call for Participation: Survey on the Role of Technical Services in Collection Development

  • 1.  Call for Participation: Survey on the Role of Technical Services in Collection Development

    Posted Oct 13, 2021 02:40 PM
    Hi - apologies for cross-posting!
    In 2019, Joe Marciniak (Princeton University) and I conducted a survey to learn more about the responsibilities of Technical Services in collection development. After reviewing and presenting the data that we collected, we decided to revisit the survey with a few updated questions that allow us to look at some other possible trends. One new interest is the subject of how collection development and departments have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
    The survey should only take about 5 minutes to complete, and summary results of the data will be sent to everyone who includes an email address.

    Thanks for your consideration and your time.
    Best,
    Charlie Sicignano
    Head of Technical Services
    University of West Georgia

    Apologies for cross-posting! I keep finding ALA/ACRL discussion boards that seem relevant to our survey and we are hoping to keep participation up so we can collect as much data as possible. If you have already participated, thank you! If you haven't participated but are willing to share your thoughts, please use the link below.
