Call for participation: Accessibility Services & Support in Small and Rural Academic Libraries Survey 

Apologies for the cross-posting. Posted on behalf of myself and my colleague. 

Hello everyone,  

My name is Robert Amerson. I'm a librarian at the University of South Carolina Aiken, and I hope this email finds you well. Currently, Deborah Tritt Harmon and I are working on a study focusing on accessibility services and support in small and rural academic library environments. We'd like to offer you the opportunity to share your experiences and opinions in our survey.  

The purpose of this study is to understand:  

1. Accessibility services and aids offered by librarians in small and rural academic libraries;   

2. Librarian concerns related to accessibility support and services in small and rural academic libraries;  

3. Identify barriers to providing accessibility services in small and rural academic libraries.   

Please visit https://lime.usca.edu/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=127264&lang=en to access the informed consent and take the online survey. The survey will close November 5, 2023.   

If you have already participated in our survey, thank you so much.   

We also ask that you forward this invitation to those whom you think may be interested and eligible to participate.  

Thank you for your interest in and support of this research.  

Sincerely,  

Robert Amerson, M.L.I.S. (PI)  

Deborah Tritt Harmon, M.L.I.S., M.S.I.T. (Co- PI)
