The survey is being conducted by Dr. Jennifer Steele with the School of Library and Information Studies. Dr. Steele can be reached by phone at (225) 578-0567, or by email at jennifersteele@lsu.edu.

This project, titled “Accessibility in Academic Libraries,” has been reviewed by the Institutional Review Board (protocol number IRBAM-24-0761), which ensures that research projects involving human subjects follow federal regulations. Any questions or concerns about rights as a research participant should be directed to the Chair of the Institutional Review Board, Louisiana State University, by phone at (225) 578-8692 or by email at irb@lsu.edu.

The survey contains questions related to accessibility efforts at your library and should take approximately 15 minutes of your time.
