Survey Invitation: How Are Researchers Finding and Using Library-Digitized Collections?

Scroll this

Do you use digitized photos or manuscripts in your research? Or maybe you use digitized historical audio/visual archives? We want to hear from you!

We are looking for researchers of all types who use library digitized collections to answer a short anonymous survey about how they find and use collections of library materials that have been digitized and put online. Results from this study will help libraries learn about their users, communicate better about collections, and design better-functioning websites.

The survey should take approximately 8-10 minutes to complete. You may begin the survey by clicking on the following link:
