Dear Library Colleagues, 

We are writing to you with an invitation to participate in our research on the experience of interim middle managers in libraries. The purpose of our study is to investigate the impact of interim leadership service on professional relationships, career, personal relationships, and individual well-being. The goal of the study is to learn how serving in an interim leadership role impacts librarians and gather advice on how to approach these positions. This study has been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board at Kennesaw State University. 

If you have served in an interim leadership role at the middle management level in a library in the past five years, we invite you to participate in an anonymous survey of 25 questions that will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Please submit survey responses by May 30, 2020.

Your participation in this survey is voluntary and your responses will be completely anonymous. If you have any questions about this survey or our research, please contact Amy Barker ([log in to unmask]) or Ashley Hoffman ([log in to unmask]).  

Sincerely, 

Amy Barker and Ashley Hoffman
