[Publib] 2008 Culturally Responsive Library Services Survey DEADLINE October 17, 2008

[Judith Turner]

This was posted on Archives & Archivists List earlier today.  I apologize if it's a duplicate but I checked publib's archives for Sept. and Oct. and couldn't find anything with a similar subject.  Since the deadline is approaching, I thought I post it here in case any publibbers  would like to participate in the survey.

The ALA Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS), the American Indian Library Association (AILA), and the National Institutes of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums are seeking information on multicultural services offered by all types of libraries.

            The purposes of this survey are:

1)      To identify the current status of culturally responsive services in libraries;
2)      To identify and study issues and challenges confronting the development of culturally appropriate services to diverse audiences;  

3)      To collect and disseminate information on successful programs
4)      To make recommendations on possible courses of action to facilitate increased multicultural library services.

            This survey is intended to be a quick assessment of services, and so your IMMEDIATE response is appreciated.

            The deadline for responses is October 17, 2008, so PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. The questions are designed for easy responses. The resulting data will be posted mid-December 2008 at www.ala.org/olos.

            Here is the link to the survey: http://www.esurveyspro.com/Survey.aspx?id=a0f00830-0872-425f-ad5e-1684213cf3e2

            It will also be available as a direct link from the OLOS home page at www.ala.org/olos

            Also, please disseminate to library colleagues whose interest or activities would benefit the survey and for whom the survey's resulting information may impact services.

            Thank you in advance for your participation!
