Abstract
The #metoo movement has prompted national discussions about workplace sexual harassment.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that librarians experience sexual harassment. The authors administered a vetted, widely used survey to quantitatively measure for the first time how widespread sexual harassment is within academic libraries.
