Dear Colleagues,

Given the current sociocultural and political landscape, we invite academic
library workers with responsibilities related to children's literature
collections in the United States to respond to the  Moral Injury: Academic
Library Workers in Children's Literature Spaces survey that seeks to
uncover potentially morally injurious events and reveal the impact they are
having on their professional and/or personal lives. This will encompass 1)
your personal morals as well as beliefs of right and wrong, and 2) your
interpretation of the morals and values of the library profession.

Access the survey:

Should you choose to participate in this study, you will be asked to answer
questions aligned with a moral injury events scale and then be given the
opportunity to elaborate on or describe the impact based on your level of
comfort.

If you know of an academic library worker who might be interested in
sharing their experience, please feel free to forward the survey. The
survey will remain open until Friday, May 1st 2026.

Questions or concerns may be directed to Caitlin Stewart at
cjstew1 at ilstu.edu. This study is being conducted by academic librarians
from Illinois State University, Northern Illinois University, New York
University, and Indiana University.

Thank you!
