Survey Request: The Impact of COVID-19 on Technical Services Units *Cross Posted*

  • 1.  Survey Request: The Impact of COVID-19 on Technical Services Units *Cross Posted*

    Posted Oct 26, 2021 02:40 PM
    Apologies for cross-posting!

    Hello! I am conducting a survey on the impact of COVID-19 on technical services units and librarians who share technical tasks (e.g. school librarians who may be cataloging books for their libraries) and aims to learn more about the changes that occurred or did not occur as a direct result of COVID-19.

    The survey link and responses are confidential, and there is no way to trace responses back to you or your institution. All library employees completing technical tasks in the United States are welcome to respond. The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete and will be open until January 1, 2022.

    I'd really appreciate your responses and to learn more about COVID-19's impact on your technical tasks!
