Reference Access and Outreach Core Skills Survey
1. Introduction
The Reference, Access, and Outreach Section Steering Committee is developing a resource document that describes the core skills and competencies necessary to be effective as reference, access, or outreach archivists.
To build on the base of knowledge available in archival literature and other related professions, the committee has developed a brief survey for those practicing in any of these three spheres of archival work to share their perspectives and experience.
We appreciate your participation in and your patience with the survey. We are eager to have a rich range of input that isn't predefined by us. This means we have asked a lot of open-ended questions and haven't provided a lot of check boxes. To address potential survey fatigue we have set up the survey so that you can complete it over time as long as you use the same computer throughout. Also, it is perfectly reasonable to skip questions. All answers will remain confidential and will be used strictly for the purposes of gathering information to develop this resources document.
If you have questions/problems related to the survey, please contact Jill Severn at jsevern@uga.edu
Thanks for your participation,
Jill Severn
