Hello,

Our names are Carolyn Pecoskie, Metadata & Electronic Resources Librarian, and Clara Turp, Systems Discovery Librarian, from McGill University Libraries. We are working on a research project to better understand how librarians select technology-based tools when facing a problem at work. Additionally, this study will investigate in what context librarians learn new technology tools or new technology-related skills.

In order to collect data, we are circulating this survey to librarians who work with technology-based tools, regardless of position, title, or institutional affiliation, with the hope that you will be willing to share your perspectives. Sharing this survey with your librarian colleagues would also be greatly appreciated.

The survey is hosted on McGill’s Microsoft Forms and should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary. The survey is anonymous and will not collect any personal identifying information such as name or email.

If you would like to participate, please click here to be redirected to the survey<https://forms.office.com/r/n1KiPCpm7D> (https://forms.office.com/r/n1KiPCpm7D). You will be presented with more information about the survey followed by the opportunity to give your consent before the survey begins.

If you have any further questions or would like more information, please contact the Primary Investigator of this study, Carolyn Pecoskie ([log in to unmask]) or Clara Turp ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).

The survey will remain open until the end of day on Friday, August 30, 2024.

Thank you sincerely for your time and consideration,

Carolyn Pecoskie and Clara Turp
