Dear Colleague,

Choice, a publishing unit of ACRL, is introducing a series of free white papers to provide insights on key topics for academic libraries.  The first Choice white paper focuses on Institutional Repositories and will provide a brief overview of their evolving role, current state, potential in a changing landscape, and a look at the road ahead.  The analysis of participating libraries will include Carnegie classification, and combined with interviews with industry leaders and further market research will provide actionable intelligence to you and your staff.   

As part of our research, we invite your participation in a brief survey that will provide us with a snapshot of where Institutional Repositories are today.  (If someone else should respond for your institution, please forward this email to them.)  The survey will close on Friday, December 15^th, and the white paper will be free to download from our website (www.choice360.org) in early February and available at our booth at ALA Midwinter in Denver.

While institutions will remain anonymous, your participation counts.  Here is the link to the survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CHOICE-IR-Survey  .  We earnestly hope to hear from you.

Kind regards,

Mark Cumming
