Survey on Inclusive Lactation Spaces in Libraries

  • 1.  Survey on Inclusive Lactation Spaces in Libraries

    Posted 6 days ago

    {apologies for cross-posting}

    Hello! 

    I am inviting you to participate in my research about publicly accessible lactation spaces in libraries. I am hoping to gain a better understanding of the prevalence of these spaces, the terminology in use for naming these spaces, and library personnel's perception of inclusiveness regarding these spaces.  

    To qualify for this study, you must be at least 18 years of age and employed (in any role/rank) in a public, academic, or special library; your opinions are valued even if your library currently does not have a public lactation space. The anonymous survey, which should take approximately 10 minutes of your time, asks questions about your library and your personal opinions, as well as some demographic questions. 

    This study is voluntary, and your participation will be anonymous - I won't even know who has taken the survey. If you would like to be part of my study, please follow this link; the survey will close at 11:59pm CDT on Sunday, July 14, 2024: https://shsu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eDkD8z7bHxTIuvY 

    If you know anyone else who would be interested in contributing to this research, feel free to forward this invitation.
