Seeking MLIS, PhD students and faculty perspectives for Schomburg Study

  • 1.  Seeking MLIS, PhD students and faculty perspectives for Schomburg Study

    Posted yesterday

    Hello,

    My name is Manuel Mendez, and I'm leading a research project titled "Arturo Schomburg and Library and Information Science: A Multi-Method Analysis." The project aims to explore the extent to which MLIS, PhD students, and faculty know about Arturo Schomburg's library (bibliographic) and archival (curatorial) practices. 

    Participants will be asked to complete a 20-minute survey questionnaire and an optional 20-30-minute follow-up interview. Participants will receive a $20 Tango card within 2 weeks

    The study seeks to elucidate Arturo Schomburg's LIS practices and to identify methods for integrating them into MLIS curricula. 

    Involvement in this study is voluntary, and all responses will remain strictly confidential. Participants can withdraw from the study at any point. Stringent measures will be implemented to safeguard data integrity. 

    You can sign up for the study by visiting our link below. If you have any questions, please contact the researcher directly at mduranme@umd.edu.
