Welcome to the Digital Collecting for Events and Emergencies survey, which focuses on practices utilized in digital collecting required in responding rapidly to capture information about an event or emergency.
When white supremacists came to the University and the surrounding community on August 11-12, 2017, the UVA Library realized that while we had gotten better prepared for digital collecting in an emergency, we still had much to learn to respond quickly and effectively. We hope that you will share your experiences, challenges, and opportunities to improve preparedness for digital collecting for institutions and community organizations of all sizes and resources.
Your participation in this twenty-two question survey should take 20-30 minutes. We hope that you will help us make this study as meaningful and accurate as possible. This survey can be completed confidentially. However, the final question asks for optional contact information. You may choose to complete this question or not. You may enter and exit the survey at any time. There is an icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to “exit.” To exit/re-enter, you will need to enable cookies on your browser, as this is the way SurveyMonkey tracks the respondent. Additionally, you will need to use the same browser and the same workstation/laptop to complete the survey.
To submit your answers, you must click on the “Done” button at the end of the survey.
Please respond by the end of the day on Friday, September 29th. Thank you in advance for your participation in this study.
