Dear leaders of AISLE (Association of Illinois School Library Educators),



Will you please distribute an online survey to your members? I am a veteran
school librarian researching how school librarians use social media for
professional learning.



To participate, please send the following Qualtrics survey link to your
members through your official organization media channels:
https://fsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9Hqpe6aAmNMSs86



The survey will be open *until February 28th*.



This study is approved by the Florida State University review board and the
subsequent journal articles will add to the literature on our specialized
population. This study is a follow-up to a 2021 study published in
AASL’s *School
Library Research*: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1296873.pdf .



The original study sampled from Florida’s professional organization, like
yours. Now I wish to expand the sample nationally. Will your organization
please participate?



Please use your official social media channels: e.g., email, newsletter,
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google+. You may choose whichever combination
is convenient or one method with multiple posts on different days.



This survey will benefit the school library profession in several ways.
First, very few empirical studies in social media focus on school
librarians. As our professional role is unique on campus, our population
deserves focused attention.



In addition, this study will provide practical results for individual
social media users and for community leaders. Topics include activities
performed in specific platforms and motives/barriers school librarians
perceive as influencing their choices.



Attached is the study information sheet. Please respond to this email with
questions and the answer about your organization’s participation.



I appreciate your time, and I hope your organization will contribute to our
national data set.



Thank you,

Michelle Cates
