Colleagues,
All academic librarians in the United States and Canada are invited to participate in a survey about student success in academic libraries.
If you would like to participate in the survey, please use this link to access the survey: https://illinoisstate.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4Z3LnU1RCQqIeQ6
The survey will close on Thursday, April 30, 2026.
The survey is expected to take between 10 and 20 minutes to complete.
The research project is an examination and analysis of student success initiatives in academic libraries. The researchers seek to find out how institutions define student success, how resources (positions, spaces, and programming) are being allocated to and developed for student success, what campus-wide partnerships or collaborations are being created, and assessment of these efforts.
If you choose to participate, you will be asked to complete a survey that asks you about student success initiatives on your campus and at your library.
Participation in this study is entirely voluntary and anonymous. You can choose to complete the survey or not and may decide to stop the survey and leave the study at any time. Participation carries no known risks. There will be no costs for participating.
The following investigators are available for questions about this study:
Chad Kahl, cmkahl@ilstu.edu
Jennifer Sharkey, jsharke@ilstu.edu
Thank you for your consideration,
Chad Kahl and Jennifer Sharkey
PS - Feel free to forward this message to anyone who may be interested in participating.
