This project is funded by a grant ( LG-73-17-0002-17 ) from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The project team is conducting a community needs assessment, focused on developing the use cases and functional requirements for a freely available, collaboratively-developed digital library assessment toolkit, D-CRAFT. We are administering a survey that will ask respondents to identify how cultural heritage organizations currently assess digital library reuse. The survey will consist of several questions asking participants to identify barriers for reuse and to prioritize potential solutions and next steps. The results of this study may be published in professional journals. They may also be used for educational purposes or for professional presentations. However, no individual subject or identifying information will be shared. Those who meet any of the following criteria are eligible for participation in this survey: ? those with demonstrated experience, such as direct work experience, and/or research that involves building, preserving, and/or assessing digital library collections; ? self-identified individuals from underrepresented groups based on factors including but not limited to race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender identity, sexual orientation, ableness, veteran?s status, and/or socio-economic status; ? representatives from organizations with diverse and inclusive collections; ? self-identified representatives from cultural heritage organization types that might not be represented in the research team membership. If you meet the inclusion criteria, we would appreciate your participation in this survey. The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Respondents will only take this survey once. The first 50 participants will be eligible to receive a $25 Amazon gift card for completing the survey. You can access the survey here: http://uhlibrary.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bKNLEtMwORvQmJD This survey closes in one week (5:00 p.m. EDT on October 11, 2017) If you have any questions, you may contact any member of the project team: ?

We are seeking novice librarian researchers who are employed by academic libraries or research libraries outside an academic setting in the United States to participate in the Institute. We define "novice" broadly; if you feel that you would benefit from being guided throughout the entire research design process, we encourage your application. Librarians of all levels of professional experience are welcome to apply. The year-long experience begins with a workshop held on the campus of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, from June 3-9, 2018, with arrival on campus on Saturday, June 2, and departure on Sunday, June 10. The William H. Hannon Library has received a second three-year grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to offer this continuing education opportunity (this grant, IRDL-2, is from 2016-2019). Each year 20 librarians will receive, at no cost to them, instruction in research design and a full year of peer/mentor support to complete a research project at their home institutions; the learning experience, travel to and from Los Angeles, CA, accommodations, and food will be supplied to Scholars free of charge. We seek librarians with a passion for research and a desire to improve their research skills. IRDL is designed to bring together all that the literature tells us about the necessary conditions for librarians to conduct valid and reliable research in an institutional setting. The cohort will be chosen from a selective submission process, with an emphasis on enthusiasm for research and diversity from a variety of perspectives, including ethnicity and type and size of library. Selection criteria: * Commitment to the year-long process of participating in the IRDL research community and conducting the proposed study within the 2017-2018 academic year; * Significance of the research problem to the operational success of libraries or to the profession of librarianship; * Thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and clarity of the research proposal; * Enthusiasm for research and a desire to learn. We will be accepting applications from December 1, 2017 to January 27, 2018. Scholars accepted to the Institute will be notified in early March 2018. Application information may be found at http://irdlonline.org/call-for-proposals/institute-overview/. Please contact Project Directors with any questions about the Institute or the application process: Marie Kennedy, Serials & Electronic Resources Librarian, Loyola Marymount University (marie.kennedy at lmu.edu) Kristine Brancolini, Dean of the Library, Loyola Marymount University (brancoli at lmu.edu) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
