     Dear colleagues--
    Can you please share the following call for interviews with your sections?  I am a PhD student at Dominican University and hope you can help me to share my call with your ACRL community as my study targets academic libraries.  I tried to post the following call through the ALA-ACRL listserv, but for some reason, it did not go through for four days. I hope you can help me and share the following call with your ACRL section. 

    Please let me know if you have any advice. 

    Thank you

    Dear all, 

    I would like to invite you to participate in a semi-structured interview for my study titled "Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Library Data Policy: A Grounded Assessment of Privacy." This research explores how academic library decision-makers consider user data privacy in the context of AI tool adoption in their library. Your participation will greatly contribute to the successful completion of my doctoral dissertation. 
     
    Interview Details: 
    • Duration: Approximately takes 30-40 minutes via ZOOM. 
    • Focus: The impact of library user privacy policies on the decision to adopt AI tools in academic libraries 
    • Confidentiality: Your participation will remain anonymous, and all data will be securely stored and anonymized. 
    •  
    You are eligible to participate in the interview if  
    • You are 18 years of age or older  
    • You are employed in an academic library in the United States (definition)  
    • You hold a decision-making position, such as library director, director of libraries, university librarian, head of a library, associate dean, manager of academic libraries, or another role involving significant decision-making responsibilities (definition)

    Your insights could contribute to understanding academic libraries' decision-making process and inform future practices.
