<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My name is Ann Myers, and I am writing on behalf of myself
and Melissa Hubbard. We are conducting a survey of rare book catalogers in
order to determine the state of the profession regarding policies and
procedures created in response to the recent professional discourse about
“hidden collections.” We are sending this email to the EXLIBRIS-L
and DCRM-L listservs in an attempt to reach as many rare book cataloging
professionals as possible. We apologize for cross-posting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to
complete. We invite you to respond if you are responsible for the creation
and/or administration of rare book cataloging policies at your institution.
Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and anonymous, and all
responses will be kept confidential. The survey will be available for three
weeks, during which time we will send out 2 reminders.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You can reach the survey by clicking on the link below. If
you have any questions about this research, please contact me at (618) 453-1499
or <a href="mailto:amyers@lib.siu.edu">amyers@lib.siu.edu</a>. I appreciate
your time and attention.<o:p></o:p></p>
