Survey on Librarian Attitudes Towards Citation

  • 1.  Survey on Librarian Attitudes Towards Citation

    Posted Apr 22, 2025 09:56 AM
    Hello all, 
    You are invited to participate in a research study about librarian attitudes regarding citation styles and instruction. I am seeking responses from any library faculty or staff member who engages with citation, with regards to research, reference, or instruction, in the United States. Data will be collected through an online Qualtrics survey and analyzed to determine librarian sentiment towards citation.
    All information provided will be kept confidential. The online survey is anonymous, and no identifying information will be collected, unless voluntarily offered.
    This survey should take 10-20 minutes to complete. Participation in this study is voluntary, and you have the right to withdraw at any time. To withdraw, close the survey window. 
    This research has been reviewed and approved by the University at Buffalo Institutional Review Board. Any questions or concerns can be directed to the PI at escarpen@buffalo.edu
    Thank you in advance for your contributions to this study. If you know anyone else who would be interested in contributing to this research, please feel free to forward this invitation.
