Teaching STEM Information and Literature

You are invited to participate in a Vanderbilt University research study, in which the STEM Librarians at Vanderbilt are investigating the information related coursework being taught at academic institutions. Your responses will help us better understand how information, literature, and/or research related coursework is being introduced into university curricula. This will help us to design coursework and to help guide others as they seek to create classes for STEM students.

The questionnaire should take 5-10 minutes to complete. The questions in this survey relate to information science related coursework taught by faculty or staff in STEM fields at academic institutions. The survey will ask about instructor faculty status, institution type, the type of course, and the assessment methods. As such, no sensitive items are included in our survey, and your participation poses no foreseeable risks other than those one would encounter in everyday life. Also, your responses will be recorded anonymously so that no one can link your responses to you personally. Additionally, these responses will be openly shared via the Internet, as part of recent Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) White House Open Data Policies (2013). This means once responses are anonymized, the data will be openly shared, but only after all possible steps are taken to increase anonymity.

Your participation in this research is voluntary, and you may decline to participate without risk. While it is useful to be complete in your responses to the survey, you may skip any questions, and you are free to withdraw from the study at any time.

If you have any questions about the study or procedures, please contact Dr. Joshua Borycz (joshua.d.borycz@vanderbilt.edu) at Vanderbilt University. If you have questions as a participant, contact the Institutional Review Board staff at 615-322-2918. If you would like to keep a copy of this consent statement you can save or print this page.
