(via Laila Moustafa, doctoral candidate at Dominican University)
My name is Laila H. Moustafa, and I am a Ph. D. student in the School of Information Studies at Dominican University. I am conducting a research study to explore:
- The factors academic library decision-makers in the United States consider when deciding to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) tools and technology.
- The extent to which these decision-makers incorporate data privacy into their AI-related decisions.
This study employs an exploratory sequential mixed-methods research design, gathering insights from academic library decision-makers (ALDs) to understand the processes and steps involved in selecting and implementing AI tools in academic libraries.
Your participation in this study would involve completing a brief survey, which should take approximately 7–10 minutes. The last day of the survey is Tuesday, February 25th. Your responses will remain confidential, and participation is entirely voluntary and uncompensated. You may withdraw at any time.
Eligibility
You are invited to participate in the survey if you have experience as a dean, associate dean, director, or manager who has direct or indirect responsibility for selecting or adopting AI tools in your library. The survey is expected to take approximately 7-10 minutes to complete. If you are interested, please follow this link to take the survey.
Additionally, if you know others who might be interested in participating, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this survey within your network.
This study has received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval at Dominican University. If you have any questions or concerns about your rights as a research participant, please feel free to reach out to me at lhusseinmoustafa@my.dom.edu.
Thank you in advance for your time and valuable insights!
