Invitation to take a Survey on Graduate School and Early-career Experiences of Digital Preservation Practitioners (IRB-300011258)

[Murphy, Grayson]

Dear APTrust colleagues,  

I am Grayson Murphy, the Digital Preservation Librarian at University of Alabama at Birmingham. I am currently researching graduate school and early-career experiences of digital preservation practitioners.  

If you currently work in the realm of digital preservation in any capacity, whether it be your job’s core focus or an element of your work,  I invite you to please take a brief 10-20 minute survey about your experiences in graduate school and your first few years working in the field of digital preservation. The results will be used to both evaluate how well recent library school graduates are positioned to grow and succeed in the field of digital preservation, and how well newcomers to the field are supported in their work. Those who did not attend a graduate program will be able to skip the graduate school section.  

The web-based survey, along with more information about data privacy, can be accessed at the following link: https://uab.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0PQZeaTenUa4ZcG 

The survey will close on January 1^st, 2024.  

If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at gmu...@uab.edu or UAB’s IRB at i...@uab.edu.  

All the best,  

Grayson Murphy

Hi all, 

It was great to meet some of you at the member meeting last week. As a gentle reminder, this survey will close two weeks from today. 

Have a safe and happy new year,
