There are plenty of archival studies graduates out there who could support the research described below and help show universities how much demand there is out there for people with MAS degrees or concentrations. If you are one of them, please, respond to the survey, as it will help all of us educators to make a case with universities for better supported programs.

Subject: [archives] Last Call - 2013 Archival Program Graduates Job Placement Survey
[Please excuse cross-posting]
Greetings,
My name is Matt Francis and I am a researcher at Penn State University where I am studying job placement for 2013 graduates from graduate level academic programs with archival studies concentrations.
If you are a 2013 graduate and you are interested in participating in this study, this is the final week that you will be able to respond to the <https://surveys.libraries.psu.edu/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=2013-archival-progra> 2013 Archival Program Graduates Job Placement Survey ( <https://surveys.libraries.psu.edu/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=2013-archival-progra> https://surveys.libraries.psu.edu/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=2013-archival-progra). The linked survey will close on May 4th, and at that point no new responses will be accepted. I believe that by completing the survey you will be adding valuable data to the study, and that the larger data set will prove beneficial to our profession by providing important insights into the subject of employment and underemployment for new archivists and graduates.
For everyone considering participating, I want to let you know that this study and the accompanying survey tool have been approved by the Penn State University Institutional Review Board (IRB #:45311). In order to protect anonymity of participants there is no registration, no recording of names, no recording of job titles, and no required questions to answer. To further protect privacy, as the principal investigator I will be the only person with access to individual survey result sheets. Any scholarship produced based on this data set will be limited to citing aggregated data, select crosstabs, and limited individual question responses that will protect the identities of respondents.
Depending on the answers that you provide the survey will consist of seven to fifteen questions, and should take no longer than ten minutes to complete. If you choose to participate, please make sure that you only respond to the survey one time. For anyone who is reading this that is not a 2013 graduate, but who wants to help this study succeed, I encourage you to take the time to distribute this message and survey to other potential respondents through appropriate channels.
If you have any questions about any aspect of this study, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] Thank you so much for your time and participation, I truly appreciate it.
-Matt
