    ----

    We would like to invite academic librarians that identify as racialized or members of the BIPOC community to participate in our survey related to retention. Our study focuses on structures in the library organization that may impact the experiences of racialized or BIPOC librarians that in turn affect retention. Areas of interest include:
    Workload
    Salary
    Performance Evaluations
    Professional Development
    Human Resources
    Management
    Link to Survey: https://bit.ly/30OvTof

    If you would like more information about the study, please feel free to contact us. This study has received a Research Ethics Board approval at the University of Toronto (RIS-41402) and the University of British Columbia (H21-02220). Your participation would be greatly appreciated in understanding organizational barriers in retaining racialized or BIPOC librarians.

    Thank you for your time,
    Allan Cho, Community Engagement Librarian, University of British Columbia
    Elaina Norlin, Professional Development/DEI Coordinator, Association of Southeastern Research Libraries
    Silvia Vong, Head of Public Services, University of St. Michael's College in the University of Toronto
