Update. Survey of US #librarians and #LIS faculty.

"Recent weeks and months have brought shifts to the pursuit of research across the United States, including funding freezes and budget cuts, executive orders regarding DEIA (and its variants) and other justice-related topics (e.g., environmental justice)…This survey aims to gather the perspectives of academic librarians and LIS-program faculty about the implications of these shifts (and executive orders) on research initiatives and, more broadly, academic freedom, researchers' freedom of thought/speech/expression within academia, and researchers' overall intellectual freedom."

Librarians in Hawaii! Kelly Jensen is looking for you:

"Do I know any public or school librarians in Hawaii? Do I know someone who might know someone who is?
