I am revising the book Makerspaces: A Practical Guide for Librarians and I’m conducting a survey of the field.
If you would please take a moment to answer this brief 15-question survey about libraries with makerspaces it would be very helpful. Thank you!”

“Please consider contributing to what we feel is an important and timely research project by taking a survey on human-based research and user data collection in ARL academic libraries.
The survey is open to all professional-level library employees regardless of appointment status, job type or educational credential – a diverse data pool is key to our query! ”
You can look through this report from the American Library Association to get all kinds of useful details about the state of libraries in the country today. Information on all sorts of libraries is shared, along with trends and issues important across the profession.

The joint ALA/SAA/AAM Committee on Archives, Libraries, and Museums (CALM) needs your help!
In the spirit of true inclusion we are seeking your thoughts on the current state of inclusion in libraries, archives, and museums (LAMS).
In preparation for our annual programs at ALA and SAA we are soliciting the CALM listserv for assistance in compiling questions about the current state of inclusion in LAMS. At both programs we will engage six different panelists about the issues and challenges surrounding inclusion in LAMs and how well we are doing (or not doing) in addressing them.
What are the biggest roadblocks or obstacles to creating inclusive environments and what are some examples within your own community (even if not within your own organization)? Do you have a specific question that you would like to see addressed during the sessions?
Please send feedback to CALM co-chairs, Elizabeth Call (ALA) and Lynette Stoudt (SAA). We look forward to hearing from you by Friday, April 14!
