You are invited to participate in a research study about the use of standardized statistical measures. Employees from all types of archives and special collections institutions are encouraged to participate. The target participants are those familiar with data collection and assessment practices in their organization.  

The study is being conducted by Melanie Griffin, Assistant Head of Special Collections at the University of Arkansas Libraries, and Amanda Hawk, Head of Public and Research Services for Special Collections at Louisiana State University Libraries. 

To participate, you must be 18 years or older and a current employee at a special collections library or archives. Only one response per institution is recommended.  

The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.  Participation is completely voluntary, and you may quit the survey at any time.  

The results will be reported for the group of respondents as a whole. No identifying institutional information will be disclosed. 

The deadline to complete the survey is March 19, 2021.
