<p>Greetings Librarians!<br>
<br>
Researchers at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville are inviting you to participate in a research study to interrogate the confluence of gender, sexuality and identity to map commonalities among professional queer-identifying librarians working in academia.
Using the data from this study, we want to create a grounded theory inductive codebook based on responses from participants to understand the needs, perceptions and obstacles faced by LGBTQ+ academic librarians within institutions. Finally, our ultimate goal
is to establish an inductive data-driven lexicon of concepts and terminology aimed at queer liberatory redress of institutional failings. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Your participation in this study will involve completing a survey, with the option to participate in a focus group. The expected time commitment for the survey is 10 minutes or less, and the expected time commitment for the focus group is roughly an hour.
The results of this study may be published in research journals or presented at professional conferences. However, the risks to you as a participant are minimal as your name will not be attached to your responses. <u></u><u></u></p>
