    Dear records professional,

     

    Apologies for cross-postings.

     

    Thank you to those of you who have completed our survey. We appreciate your support and interest in our project.

     

    We are still seeking participation for a survey that assesses records professionals' perceptions of their professional identity.

     

    At present, the research is limited to those who identify as a records professional in Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada whose primary role is working with records.

     

    For this study, we broadly define a records professional as someone whose job involves working with records and who also identifies as a records professional. Common titles for records professional may include, but are not limited to: records managers, information managers, knowledge managers, archivist or heritage manager, etc. Records professionals can also be called officers, consultants, or analysts, not just managers. 

     

    If you are currently working as a records professional and have done so for more than six months, and work in one of the above jurisdictions, could you please assist us by completing the survey found here [insert link]

    The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete and is anonymous. No identifying information, such as your name or email address, will be collected, unless you provide it as a means of contact for a possible follow-up interview. The survey will be available until Friday, October 1, 2021.

    There will be no costs or direct payment for participating.

    The survey may be found here: https://curtin.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dcJYzY9qPwkZX81

    If you have any questions about the study or study procedures, please do not hesitate to contact Dr Leisa Gibbons (leisa.gibbons@curtin.edu.au) or Assoc Professor Donald C. Force (force@uwm.edu).

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,

    Donald
