<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>
