To Whom It May Concern:



Hello. Our names are Lauren Geiger and Cathy Austin, academic librarians at 
Mississippi State University Libraries. Currently, we are conducting a survey 
study to explore how early-career academic library employees feel prepared for 
taking on management and leadership roles. This research is for residents of 
the United States who are 18 years or older; if you are not a resident of the 
United States and/or not 18 years old or older, please do not complete this 
survey.



Participation is minimal and requires the answering of a questionnaire, which 
should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete. Participation is 
completely voluntary and anonymous, and responses will only be used for 
scholarly purposes. This research has been reviewed and granted Exempt 
Determination according to Mississippi State University's Human Research 
Protection Program (HRPP)/Institutional Review Board (IRB) procedures for 
research involving human subjects (Protocol ID TBD).
