Your chance to share your Canadian library experiences!

[With apologies for cross posting]
Do you work in a library in Canada? Are you involved in information literacy instruction or customer training at your library? If you answered yes to both these questions, you are invited to participate in a Canadian survey exploring the experiences of library staff as instructors/trainers. Please consider contributing to this survey. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, and your experiences will make an important contribution to knowledge. If you are interested in learning more about this study or if you wish to participate please follow this link:

Travaillez-vous dans une bibliothèque au Canada? Participez-vous au développement des compétences informationnelles ou à la formation des usagers? Si vous avez répondu par l’affirmative à ces deux questions, nous vous invitons à participer à un sondage canadien qui a pour but d’explorer les expériences du personnel de bibliothèque dans leurs rôles d’éducateur(trice)s et de formateur(trice)s. Nous vous prions d'accepter de contribuer à ce sondage. Cela vous prendra environ 10 minutes. Vos expériences constitueront une importante contribution au savoir de notre profession.
