Dear ARLIS community, I am conducting research about outreach services in galleries, art libraries, museum archives, and other object/artifact-centric collections with some amount of public access, appointment-based or semi-restricted ok. If you have 5-15 minutes to respond--as briefly or in as much detail as you wish--to all or some of the following questions, it would be greatly appreciated! I will be sure to send out the results of this survey for any who are interested in reading what common initiatives or issues it uncovers. This survey concerns outreach programming relevant to art, artifact, and visual collections, and some examples (not an exhaustive list by far) of outreach may include programs centered on lectures, film viewings, exhibitions and artist talks in your library or archive, discussion groups, lifelong learning initiatives, visual/information/digital literacy, child education, cultural programming for teens, school visits, etc. 1. Describe the information setting in which you work. (Special collections library, museum library, gallery archives? What genre or scope of art is in your collection?) 2. Describe your work in that setting. (Are you a solo librarian at your institution? What is your job title or what are your basic responsibilities? [I do not require much personal info here.]) 3. Does your institution currently offer outreach programming to invite more of the public in? If so, what form does this outreach take, and how long has it been in effect? 4. Does your institution have plans to offer outreach programming to invite more of the public in? If so, what form will this outreach take, and what led to the decision to enact it? 5. Has your institution ever offered outreach programming in the past to invite more of the public in? If so, what form did this outreach take, and what reasons, if any, led to its discontinuation? 6. What is your role in the outreach programming, if any? 7. How effective has the outreach programming been for the public? 8. How effective has the outreach programming been for your institution's goals? 9. Have evaluation (statistics) and/or assessment (understanding and making changes according to what those statistics reveal) been employed in measuring the effect of the outreach? If so, please describe. 10. In your opinion, what are the most effective and relevant forms of outreach for your institution, whether currently practiced or hypothetical? 11. In your opinion, what are the least effective and least relevant forms of outreach for your institution, whether currently practiced or hypothetical? 12. Any comments? Thank you so much for taking the time to fill out this survey. Your participation is highly valued! Stay tuned for the results!
