Core Library Leaders and Managers Interest Group

Hi everyone! 

 
Thank you to everyone who has participated in my survey thus far! I would like to boost the survey invitation to anyone who hasn't had a chance to participate yet. 

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the search committee evaluation process when recruiting for leadership roles. It will examine how search committee members evaluate a mock candidates' skills and experience expressed in a CV and compare them with a mock academic library job description. Anticipated benefits of this study include greater insight into the recruitment process within academic library positions and improving diversity in applicant pools. 

Anyone over the age of 18 who identifies as a librarian and/or archivist is eligible to participate. If you decide to participate, you will be asked to answer approximately 30 questions, which should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. The informed consent and survey are available at https://towson.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_79tnWrJxhu1VRe6  

The survey will be live until the end of December. If you have any questions, please contact the Principal Investigator, Ashley Todd-Diaz (atodddiaz@towson.edu). 

Thank you in advance for considering,  

Ashley Todd-Diaz, Towson University, Principal Investigator
