NOTE: Bit off topic - but for a good cause.
Please help me learn more about student advisory groups at small to medium-sized college and university libraries by completing this survey by Friday, December 19, 2025.
The survey should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Your willingness to participate is appreciated, and thanks to a faculty research grant from the College of Charleston (my current institution), the first 100 respondents to complete the survey will receive a $15 gift card.
This survey will contribute to an ACRL College Library Information on Policy and Practice (CLIPP) series book. In addition to basic questions about your institution, the survey contains questions about recruitment, membership, meetings, funding, time investment, and events/projects involving student advisory boards, committees, councils, and other student-centered and -run groups that are supervised, facilitated, or advised by faculty and staff.
Like all CLIPP surveys, it will allow you to upload electronic copies of documentation that you think would be helpful to other libraries. If you have created or revised example documents relevant to this topic in the last five years, I strongly encourage you to share them via the survey or send them by email (as attachments or stable URLs) to acrlclipp49@gmail.com.
I am also interested in speaking with student advisory groups and the library faculty and staff who supervise, facilitate, or advise them. If you or others directly involved in this work are interested in an interview, please indicate that at the end of the survey or send an email to acrlclipp49@gmail.com.
Thank you for your consideration of this survey; your participation is essential to the success of the CLIPP program!
Sincerely,
Amanda Kraft
UX & Engagement Coordinator
College of Charleston Libraries
