last person joined: 2 days ago 

The Social Responsibilities Round Table works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy.

Survey Participation Request Focusing on Public Libraries' Readiness for Weather-Related Disasters

  • 1.  Survey Participation Request Focusing on Public Libraries' Readiness for Weather-Related Disasters

    Posted Jul 18, 2022 07:21 PM

    Dear Library Colleague,

    We are asking for your help to benchmark both public library preparedness for disaster and their contribution to community resilience efforts. This research is being conducted by Monika Antonelli (Minnesota State University, Mankato), Rebekkah Smith Aldrich (Mid-Hudson Library System), Adrian K. Ho (University of Chicago) and René Tanner (Rollins College).

     The short survey will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete and is intended for public library directors or public library administrators. The aim of the project is to aid the researchers in assessing U.S. public libraries' readiness for weather-related disasters as institutions, as well as to assess how public libraries can provide assistance to their communities' recovery in the wake of weather-related disasters.

    If you would like to participate in this Minnesota State University, Mankato study (IRBNet ID 1919288) please click on this link to go to the survey.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email at monika.antonelli@mnsu.edu.  The survey will close on August 31, 2022.

    Thank you for considering this research opportunity.

    Monika Antonelli
