Dear colleagues,
We are conducting a follow-up study about cataloging ethics, and we need your help, even if
you completed our 2019 questionnaire on the same topic. We would like to invite those
individuals currently working in public, academic, school, or special libraries, or an archive or
museum, whose official job duties include cataloging, primarily using “traditional” library
cataloging standards, such as Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC), Anglo-American
Cataloguing Rules, 2 nd edition (AACR2), Resource Description & Access (RDA), Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), Library of Congress Classification (LCC), and/or Dewey
Decimal Classification (DDC), to complete the following questionnaire:
We would like to learn more about how catalogers perceive cataloging ethics, the most important ethical issues they face in their work, and how they address these issues. Since we already collected similar information using survey research in 2019, our goal is to compare previous responses to current responses. Please pass the questionnaire link along to anyone or any group who might be interested in completing it.
The questionnaire should take about 10-15 minutes to complete and no identifying information
will be collected. The deadline for completing the questionnaire is Thursday, February 22.
Thank you in advance for your help!
