Greetings,

Please consider participating in this survey on librarian perceptions about accepted author manuscripts (also known as postprints) which are freely available in online repositories. Results from this survey will be used for a research study and subsequent publication. Participation is voluntary and the survey is anonymous. No identifiers are requested or tracked that could be linked to an individual. You are free to abandon the survey at any time.

We estimate that the survey should take 5-10 minutes.

You may make inquiries concerning this research project to the primary investigator Jimmy Ghaphery, Associate University Librarian, VCU Libraries, 804-827-3551; jghapher@vcu.edu; VCU IRB HM20009466.

Thanks and apologies for any cross-posts of course.

--Jimmy
