[PL-Directors] Public Library Survey feedback opportunity

[FUQUA Ross * SLO]

Hello Oregon public library directors!

The American Institutes for Research (AIR)<https://air.org/> and its subcontractor Activate Research, IMLS's data collection contractors for the national Public Libraries Survey (PLS)<https://imls.gov/research-evaluation/data-collection/public-libraries-survey>, are looking for library directors or their designees who typically complete the state annual report to participate in 60-minute virtual interviews help test potential new questions for the PLS.  They plan to conduct the interviews in March, April, and May; you would only participate in one interview.
If you are interested in this opportunity to help shape prospective PLS questions (and by extension, the Oregon Public Library Statistical Report<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/publiclibrarystats>), please let me know and I will relay your contact information to AIR.
Thanks for your consideration on this. I am VERY glad they are asking library directors for direct input this year, and this is an excellent opportunity to add your thoughts, ideas, and concerns to the national public library data landscape.
Cheers,

Ross Fuqua, MA, MLIS (he/him)
