We are writing to you to invite you to participate in a survey for a research study Inclusive Metadata Practices in Digital Libraries. This study seeks to better understand how institutions approach inclusive description and metadata work within digital library environments.
If you currently work with digital library metadata, we would greatly appreciate your participation. If not, we encourage you to share this invitation with colleagues who may be involved in digital collections or metadata practices
The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and responses will be collected anonymously. Your insights will contribute to a broader understanding of inclusive metadata practices across institutions and help inform future research and professional guidance in this area.
The survey is hosted on Qualtrics and can be accessed at https://msu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0qepYcZnOr88j1I. If you have any questions about this study, please contact Stephanie Luke at smluke2@illinois.edu or Trevor Stratton at stratt84@msu.edu.
At the end of the survey, you have the opportunity to submit your name and contact information to be entered for the chance to win 1 of 10 $10 Amazon gift cards. Your information will be stored separately from your survey responses.
Best regards,
Stephanie Luke and Trevor Stratton
