Final Call for Participation – Cataloging at Academic Libraries Survey

  • 1.  Final Call for Participation – Cataloging at Academic Libraries Survey

    Posted Jul 22, 2025 08:46 AM

    Dear Colleagues,

    This is a final call to participate in a survey exploring academic library cataloging workflows in relation to technology, staffing, and materials cataloged. I'm especially interested in how special formats and special collections cataloging are incorporated into academic library cataloging.

    If you are a cataloger or technical services manager at an academic library, I would greatly appreciate your participation.

    Depending on your responses, this survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Responses are anonymous unless you choose to provide your contact information to participate in a follow-up study. 

    Please share this study link with others in the cataloging community who may be interested in participating. The survey will close on July 25.

    This research has been approved by The University of Southern Mississippi's Institutional Review Board (Protocol #25-0317). If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Diana Simpson at diana.simpson@usm.edu.

    Many thanks to those who have already completed this survey, and to those who will be participating this week.  Your time and valuable input are much appreciated.
