I am conducting this research to see if any academic libraries have experienced material challenges and what preparations academic libraries have for this issue. The link below leads to a consent form that describes what you can expect as a participant.
You are invited to participate in this research project if you work in an academic library. The intention of this survey is to better understand processes, trainings, and procedures currently in place at academic libraries regarding material challenges. This project is being conducted by Kayla Reed, MLIS of Grinnell College.
In this instance, material challenges are defined as official or unofficial complaints or arguments against materials that are seen as inappropriate or offensive within the library collection.
The survey is completely anonymous and does not ask for any identifying information. I ask a few things about you and your institution and what policies, training, and procedures you might have in regard to material challenges. The survey is estimated to take 15-20 minutes, depending upon your responses. The link below presents a release form providing detailed information about what to expect and then allows you to proceed directly to the survey.
