The Diversity within ALSC Task Force is conducting a survey to gain a better understanding of the current ALSC membership as well as other youth services providers outside the membership.
The purpose of this survey is to discern where we stand with diversity within the children’s library services profession, and to determine barriers to joining ALSC. It is our hope that by discovering barriers we can work to break them down to create a more inclusive, diverse membership, and eventually, profession.
If a respondent would like to offer insight and feedback on the issues highlighted within the survey, there is an opportunity to provide contact information once the survey is completed. Although this contact information will be collected together with the rest of the anonymous responses, it will be handled separately from the data to ensure anonymity.
We would like to compile as much information as possible, and we hope that you will consider participating in the survey.
Please feel free to share with colleagues in order to help us reach the greatest possible audience. The survey will be live until Tuesday, December 20th.
