[Eril-l] Survey about Technical Services Roles

[Arkoosh, Rachel M.]

Apologies for any cross-postings!
Please consider taking 10 minutes to complete a survey in support of a current research project examining the perspective on libraries employing individuals with a Master's degree in library and information science for paraprofessional positions, the role of libraries in those circumstances, and whether position descriptions reflect work performed.
This survey is aimed at exploring beliefs and trends around library support staff positions in technical services departments in academic libraries, when the staff member holds an MLIS. Library support staff positions, also known as paraprofessional positions, refer to positions in libraries that do not require MLIS degrees. The job titles often contain words such as "technician," "specialist," or "assistant." For the purposes of this survey, technical services may include such areas as acquisitions, metadata, e-resources, and/or collections.
The survey is available at: https://goo.gl/forms/obc7e4H2QiJWmWsn1
This survey is completely voluntary, and no personal or identifiable information will be collected. The IRB has determined that this submission does not constitute human subjects research as defined under federal regulations [45 CFR 46.102 (d or f)] and does not require IRB approval.
Please feel free to forward the link to anyone else you think might be interested. The survey will close on Wednesday, October 10, 2018. Thanks for your time.
