Invitation to take part in Pilot Study on Arturo Schomburg

  • 1.  Invitation to take part in Pilot Study on Arturo Schomburg

    Posted Sep 19, 2024 12:39 PM
    Hello, 

    My name is Manuel Mendez, and I'm leading a research project titled "Arturo Schomburg and Library and Information Science: A Multi-Method Analysis." The project aims to explore the extent to which MLIS students and faculty know about Arturo Schomburg's library (bibliographic) and archival (curatorial) practices. Participants will be asked to complete a 20-minute survey questionnaire and 20-30 minute follow-up interview. Participants will receive a $20 Tango card within 2-3 weeks. The study seeks to shed light on Arturo Schomburg's LIS practices and identify methods for integrating these practices into MLIS curricula. Involvement in this study is voluntary, and all responses will remain strictly confidential. Participants can withdraw from the study at any point. Stringent measures will be implemented to safeguard data integrity. 


    You can sign up for the study by visiting the link below. If you have any questions, please contact the researcher directly at mduranme@umd.edu.
