On behalf of the American Library Association’s (ALA) Library Leadership & Management Association (LLAMA) Division, the Project Management Project Team (PMPT) and the IDEA Lab Research Group from the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, would like to invite you to participate in a survey regarding your knowledge, engagement, and interest in Project Management in your current position in libraries.

As you may know, project management skills are consistently being expected in positions across libraries of all types (public, school, academic and special). Our project team would like to know what appreciation and needs you and others in your organization may have related to Project Management.

The survey is administered by the Center for Social Science Research of the University of Notre Dame on behalf of the project team, and is open to all types of libraries and librarians worldwide, regardless of ALA membership or that of the LLAMA division. This survey, which takes approximately 9 minutes to complete, will help inform the LLAMA division what next steps could be taken to ensure project management skills are enhanced and appreciated in the library profession.

At the end of the survey, you may choose to leave your contact information if you are interested in learning more about this project. We will not be collecting any sensitive personally identifiable information. The results of the survey will be used to inform the work of this project team only.

LLAMA’s mission is to advance outstanding leadership and management practices in library and information services by encouraging and nurturing individual excellence in current and aspiring library leaders.

This survey will close at midnight on July 31, 2019.
