Dear colleagues,
You are invited to participate in a research study about the work experiences of librarians with a visible or invisible chronic illness or condition. The purpose of this research is to better understand the ways that professionals face and overcome the challenges associated with their chronic condition in the workplace.

If you agree to participate in this research, I ask you to complete a survey lasting approximately 15-20 minutes. The survey will be conducted online through the Qualtrics survey tool.
