Cross Posted Request


Dear Librarian,

We invite you to participate in a survey on academic librarian retention. The
purpose of this survey is to discover how academic librarians define successful
retention efforts. The researchers also hope to ascertain and disseminate best
practices in retaining academic librarians. Your input will help us further
develop a definition of library retention that can be used across all libraries
that will reflect both academic librarian and administrator perspectives.

If you choose to participate, you’ll be asked to fill out a 10-15 minute
survey consisting of 10 demographic questions meant to explain your library
context and 10 core questions that attempt to ascertain your libraries’
perspectives and activities related to library worker retention.The survey will
specifically ask you to think about how you would define retention for your
organization.

Participation in this study is voluntary. You can choose to complete the
survey or not, and may choose to stop the survey and leave the study at any
time.

If you would like to participate in the study, please use this link to access
the survey:
