<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues, many of you are aware of the efforts underway by AISLE and the ILA to collect data on school library staffing in Illinois that the ongoing
<a href="https://libslide.org/">SLIDE Study</a> revealed to be lacking. I, along with Graduate Research Assistant Joe Panozzo, have my own ongoing effort to understand school library staffing issues in Illinois. Some of you have heard from Joe and responded.
For that we thank you. We are sharing the results of our efforts with RAILS, IHLS, ILA, and AISLE hopefully to supplement the information they’re gathering.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To further my own study, I invite you to respond to a brief survey questionnaire. The response should take a couple of minutes for many of you and just a few minutes more for some of you, depending on your position. I’ll share results at
the AISLE conference in November.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance for your willingness to respond.<o:p></o:p></p>
