GLBT Round Table 50th Anniversary Archive – Survey

“Hello! You are receiving this from the ALA Emerging Leaders team who are working on a project for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table. Our team is beginning the process of creating an online archive, to include digitized materials and an oral history of the round table, in order to document and preserve GLBTRT’s history and plan for its upcoming 50th Anniversary Celebration in 2020.

We are currently identifying people who are interested in contributing to this project, particularly those who have materials that could be included in the archive, or those with historical knowledge of the round table.

We would greatly appreciate your completion of this survey: http://tinyurl.com/glbtrt50

If you know of any ULS folks who may not subscribe to this listserv and may have items or knowledge to contribute, please forward this email to them.

If you have any questions about our project, please do not hesitate to ask. We look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,

ALA Emerging Leaders Team I

Survey: Awareness of Professional Ethics

“Greetings!

I am writing to you on behalf of Sara Dallas, chair of ALA’s Committee on Professional Ethics with a request for your participation in a survey and for your help disseminating the invitation to any and all librarians. The purpose of this survey is to examine the awareness of professional ethics and principles within the LIS profession.  For the purposes of this survey, we will define professional ethics and principles to include access to information, intellectual freedom, privacy, copyright, and professional conduct.

www.surveymonkey.com/r/professionalethicsawareness

I am sending this survey request to

  • ALA leadership, including councilors, divisions, and round tables (and their staff liaisons)
  • State Chapter Leadership
  • LM-Net, Publib, ARSL, ALISE

Please take a moment, in addition to taking the survey yourself, to share it with the listservs that you are a part of and the library related social media channels that you manage. Specifically, please invite local librarians that may not have professional memberships. Sara would like to be able to review results at Annual Conference so she is asking for a deadline of May 23, 2017.

Sincerely, liaison for the Committee on Professional Ethics,

Kristin

Library-Social Work Collaboration survey

“Help us help you!”

“Please complete this survey for our forthcoming book on library-social work collaboration by Saturday, April 22, 2017:

https://tinyurl.com/survey-wpl 

Completing this survey will:

  • Tell us what librarians and social workers already know (or don’t know) about library-social work collaboration, so we can shape the content of the book to your needs.
  • Give you a frame for self-assessment: your answers can point you to where you can learn more.
  • Provide the opportunity for you to connect with us and share your library’s story in a case study (optional).

Please see this letter for more information on the survey. The book on Whole Person Librarianship will be published by Libraries Unlimited, likely in 2019.

Please email us if you have any questions. Thanks for your help!”
