[ARSCLIST] Participation Needed for Research Study: Defining AV Preservation Professionals in Academic Libraries and Archives

[Kate Murray <kmurray@xxxxxxx>]

Colleagues,

I am conducting a research project on *defining the role of staff in 
academic libraries and archives whose primary responsibilities are the 
preservation and access issues specific to audiovisual collections - 
specifically moving images and sound in both analog and digital formats.*

The goals of the survey are to capture 1) the position titles that 
define this type of work, 2) where these positions "live and work" 
within academic library and archive organizations, 3) how people gain 
the skills they need to do this work and, 4) very broadly, how people in 
these positions divide their time between analog and digital media. It 
should take less than 10 minutes to complete the 12 multiple-choice 
question  survey. The survey results will be disseminated at a later date.

The survey can be found here: 
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Nc1KJ_2bzQDuK4CjtULAle_2bw_3d_3d
The survey will close on March 17, 2008 at 12 noon.

Your participation is greatly appreciated! Please feel free to contact 
me off list if you have any questions.

Best wishes - Kate Murray
