  • 1.  Survey: Mid-year Check-in, your feedback is requested!

    Posted Apr 02, 2025 02:16 PM

    Greetings, ACRL AI Discussion Group members!

    Now that we're about halfway through our year as co-conveners, Ginny and I wanted to take some time to hear from all of you on how the group is going, whether the content is meeting your needs, whether there is anything we can change or improve about our facilitation style, and where you'd like to be more engaged!  Many thanks to all who joined us on Monday the 31st to talk in real time, we are so inspired by and grateful for the feedback you've shared so far.  And, we wanted to make sure that everyone on the group had the opportunity to share feedback asynchronously as well.  To that end, we've put together a survey form that we'd like to invite you to complete, below.  The survey will cover Content, Guest Speakers, Facilitation, and Engagement, and it should take about 3-5 minutes to complete. 

    We've set the survey form to be anonymous by default, but we've included an optional field for you to share your name and affiliation if you'd like to (for example, if you'd like to volunteer to present at a future session!) - if you'd prefer to deliver your feedback anonymously, just leave this question blank!

    We'll keep the survey open for two weeks, so please plan to fill it out by April 16th if you'd like to share your feedback!

    Please find the survey here, and many thanks in advance for your feedback: ACRL AI Discussion Group - Midyear Check-In
