Dear colleagues,

As academic libraries increase their capacity to offer research data services, librarians are increasingly in a position to offer guidance on sensitive data creation and use. Please consider taking this survey designed to identify current trends in academic library support for research and teaching involving sensitive data: http://chicagobooth.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0OCq7TqBGovpYEJ.

Academic librarians in the United States who are responsible for answering patron questions about research or teaching are invited to take part. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and will remain open until March 31, 2021.

This study was approved by the University of Chicago's Social and Behavioral Sciences IRB (IRB21-0224). Please contact Cecilia Smith, [log in to unmask], or Elizabeth Foster, [log in to unmask], with any questions.

Best regards,

Cecilia Smith
