I am currently seeking the opinions of librarians involved in selecting picture book stock in all authorities across the UK. I would be most grateful if you are a LIS professional undertaking this role if you would complete the following questionnaire:
I am a current student on UCL's MA Library and Information Studies course. I am undertaking research about the selection and representation of children’s picture book stock in public libraries in relation to gender roles and family diversity. I would be most grateful if you could take the time to complete this short questionnaire consisting of nine questions by Friday 1st August 2014.

Respondents will not be individually named (or made identifiable in any way) in these outputs, unless agreed with the researcher in advance. The data will be collected and stored in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. It will be retained for the duration of the project and for a period of up to 1 year afterwards in order to allow for re-examination of the data by the research student or his/her supervisors or examiners for purposes connected with the Master's dissertation and its examination.
The data collected may be used in any reports and other outputs from the research project, in particular the Master’s dissertation presented to UCL. The research may be published in, for example, the form of a journal article. The Master’s dissertation text may be made available by the University in its digital repository or in print, after the Examination Board has determined the outcome of the examinations.
Many thanks for your participation,
Sophie Fisher
