(sending on behalf of Kara McClurken, Director, Preservation Services, University of Virginia Library) Please excuse cross-postings. The University of Virginia Library is undertaking a survey regarding the practices utilized in digital collecting required in rapid response to an event or emergency. We are very interested in hearing about your experiences preparing for or responding to such an event in order to better understand impediments to digital collecting and what we in the cultural heritage community can do about improving that response. We are asking you to complete this web-based survey, which should take from 20-30 minutes, or to forward it to an appropriate colleague in your organization. Your participation and comments are very important, as it will help us to determine the potential level of support in the community for this kind of initiative. We are asking that each institution or collaboration submit only one response to the survey. Responses may be submitted anonymously, but we hope you will be willing to share your contact information so that we might follow up about future work. The survey is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NXXPWS9. We are providing you with a PDF version of the survey to assist you in drafting answers and completing the survey prior to entering your information online. You may enter and exit the survey at any time. There is an icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to ‘exit’. To exit/reenter, you will need to enable cookies on your browser, as this is the way SurveyMonkey tracks the respondent. Additionally, you will need to use the same browser and the same workstation/laptop in order to complete the survey. To submit your answers, you must click on the "Done" button at the end of the survey. Please submit the survey by Friday, September 29th, 2018. If you have questions, please contact Kara McClurken at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. This survey is part of UVA Library grant-funded project by the LYRASIS Catalyst fund, which is designed to foster innovation among libraries, archives, and museums. For more information about the grant, see https://news.library.virginia.edu/2018/06/18/library-receives-grant-from-lyrasis-for-digital-collecting-in-times-of-crisis/ Thank you in advance for your participation.
