Have you led trainings about online safety at a library before?

Hello, we are looking for librarians who have taught their patrons about online safety topics, particularly related to privacy and security. Dr. Florian Schaub and PhD student Tanisha Afnan from the University of Michigan would love to learn from your experiences with you, and other librarians, in a small group setting! You will receive $120 for participating completely in our study. 

Participants in this study will have a chance to connect with other librarians doing similar work. The online half-day workshop will walk through a series of hands-on activities including:

• Guided conversations with you and other librarians to share your unique experiences with teaching for online safety within a library setting

• Identify promising directions for new educational resources that can support independent patron learning on relevant online safety, privacy, and security topics beyond the library

• Develop action plans to reflect on key assets and partners available to you in supporting your work

All of your information will be anonymized and stored securely if you choose to participate, and our study has been reviewed and approved by the University of Michigan IRB.

To participate, please fill out the survey at this link: https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0etLlGa5Sx7P5f8 

If you have any questions about the study, please feel free to contact Tanisha Afnan at tafnan@umich.edu. A member of the research team will reach out to you shortly, thank you again!
