Andrea Japzon has given me permission to post her message regarding this survey on the creation of digital collections.

From Andrea Japzon:
If you are currently working with digital collections in a cultural institution, I invite you to participate in an exploratory research study on the involvement of community members in the creation of digital collections.

The survey is located at:

The survey will take no more than 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

The purpose of this study is to explore the ways in which digital collections are providing the opportunity to create access to local public history collections through partnerships among libraries, museums, historical societies, and community members. Another objective of this study is to gather input from digital collections professionals about community building and information literacy instruction as part of digital collection creation.

This research is approved by the Institutional Review Board of Drexel University. If you have questions about your rights as a participant in this study, please contact the IRB at (215) 895-5849 or at research@drexel.edu.
