This email message is an approved request for participation in research that has been approved by the Texas State University Institutional Review Board (IRB).
Colleagues,
You are invited to participate in a research study on accessibility practices in institutional repositories (IRs) at academic libraries. This survey is designed to be answered by IR managing staff, but some questions may require consultation with other library staff.
Participation in this study is voluntary and should take no more than 10-15 minutes.
All responses are anonymous and no personally identifying information will be collected. There are no direct benefits, but your participation will benefit the wider IR community in better understanding current practices which will inform future discussions about the complexity of these issues. The questions in this survey focus on accessibility concerns related to materials available through the repository and not the software application or platform itself.
We hope to capture responses from as many IR managers as possible and encourage you to share or forward this survey to any colleagues that may be interested. The survey is available through the link below:

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Laura Waugh ([log in to unmask]).
Thank you in advance for your time and participation.
Research Team:
William Hicks, University of North Texas
Nerissa Lindsey, San Diego State University
