Apologies for cross-posting -- but please also post widely yourselves! Please note: The first of these scheduled focus groups is next week. If you're interested, please register ASAP. ===== As part of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) initiative to develop an actionable research agenda on the research environment and scholarly communication, we are conducting several online focus groups to ensure in particular that members of underrepresented groups (across a variety of institutional types) will have the opportunity to share their perspective with the researchers. Although we wish to hear in particular from these groups, we welcome participation from anyone. Following is a list of the scheduled focus groups. Each meeting will last no longer than 90 minutes and will take place via Zoom. All participants are asked to register in advance of the session. Space for each event is limited; should you not be able to participate in your first-choice session, we hope you will consider joining another. *Thursday, June 14 @ 1:00pm Eastern* *Focus: Underrepresented cultural or ethnic communities* Registration URL: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/725b432d0b9d8c384ac87b605f06faf5 *Friday, June 15 @ 2:00pm Eastern* *Focus: Research-intensive universities* Registration URL: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/ba0372fbc100eabc4ac87b605f06faf5 *Monday, June 18 @ 1:00pm Eastern: * *Focus: Underrepresented cultural or ethnic communities* Registration URL: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/1820d1cd6a5f08f54ac87b605f06faf5 *Monday, June 18 @ 3:30pm Eastern* *Focus: Those with expertise and experience in universal accessibility challenges* Registration URL: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/edbef0a3c91e2ff97510d14dfea9e911 *Tuesday, June 19 @ 1:00pm Eastern* *Focus: Community colleges (or other 2-year colleges)* Registration URL: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/8129c8269a7bc6407510d14dfea9e911 *Tuesday, June 19 @ 3:30 pm Eastern* *Focus: Liberal arts colleges* Registration URL: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/d4e870ef206485b64ac87b605f06faf5 *Monday, July 9 @ 1:00 pm Eastern* *Focus: Underrepresented cultural or ethnic communities* Registration URL: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/58121029a0559ebacde7dc3c8da9331e Should you have any questions, please contact us at [log in to unmask] -- Rebecca Kennison Principal and Executive Director, K|N Consultants 347 746 5931 office 510 541 3119 mobile [log in to unmask] ORCID: 0000-0002-1401-9808 <http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1401-9808> Web: knconsultants.org and openaccessnetwork.org Twitter: @KNConsultants <https://twitter.com/KNConsultants> and @OA_Network <https://twitter.com/oa_network> ######################################################################## to manage your DLF-ANNOUNCE subscription, visit diglib.org/announce
