Dear Colleague,

You are invited to participate in an anonymous study exploring tenure & promotion of academic librarians. The aim of this survey is:

 1. To identify the factors that contribute to or hinder career advancement, promotion, and tenure in academic libraries, with a specific focus on geographic mobility, family dynamics, and gender.

2. To understand the experiences and perceptions of academic library professionals regarding their opportunities for career advancement, promotion, and tenure, and the barriers they face in pursuing these opportunities.

3. To gather suggestions and recommendations from academic library professionals on how their institutions could better support their career advancement, particularly with regards to geographic mobility, family dynamics, and gender.

The survey contains mainly close-ended questions with five open-ended questions and is expected to take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

Thank you for your participation. Your participation will enhance the completeness and accuracy of the study’s conclusions.
