The University of North Texas Libraries is seeking participants who are 18 years old or older and work in a U.S. academic library to participate in a research study called “Rankism in U.S. Academic Libraries.” </div>
<div style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px 0px 10.67px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;" class="elementToProof">
For the purposes of this study, rankism is the assertion of superiority based on a particular hierarchy that typically takes the form of putting others down either explicitly or in more subtle ways. This issue is common in higher education, yet literature on
the topic is written by individuals with positional power. This study aims to provide those without positional power with the opportunity to share their observations and experiences as well as reveal ways we can improve feelings of workplace belonging in academic
libraries. </div>

Study procedure includes voluntary participation in an online survey that should take about 5 minutes of your time. You will not receive compensation for participation. </div>
