Colleagues,

We are writing to invite you to participate in our research project on access to fashion research collections. This survey is designed to elicit information about access for outside researchers and visitors at top fashion research collections. 

Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and should take no more than 8-10 minutes. 

Although our results may refer to particular libraries by name, no personally identifying information about individuals will be collected in this survey. We hope that your participation and the overall results will benefit the wider fashion research community by allowing us to better understand the current landscape of access to fashion research materials by researchers who are not affiliated with institutions holding these collections.

The survey is available at this link: http://fitnyc.libsurveys.com/loader.php?id=7b624e11633df6b86b342a3a17564af4

Only one response is necessary per institution, but please feel free to share this survey with colleagues working at other fashion research collections. The survey will be open through November 4, 2019.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Carli Spina ([log in to unmask]) or Lana Bittman ([log in to unmask]). 

Thank you in advance for your participation. 

Sincerely,

Carli Spina and Lana Bittman
