[Metadatalibrarians] Brief Survey on Institutional Repositories and AI

[Ashlea Green]

Dear Colleagues,

I'm conducting a study on *how institutional repositories (IRs) are
responding to AI,* including their acceptance of AI-assisted works,
measures to address AI’s use of IR content, stakeholder concerns, and
perspectives on AI’s impact on IR management and engagement.

*If you work with a U.S.-based institutional repository (IR)*—whether you
manage it, provide support (e.g., technical support, metadata, scholarly
communication, research data services, outreach, digital preservation), or
oversee IR-related decisions at a departmental or institutional level—I
would greatly appreciate* your anonymous participation* in this survey,
which has *14 multiple-choice questions* (or fewer, depending on responses)
and *takes approximately 12-14 minutes to complete*.

Please access the survey at this

Participation is voluntary and anonymous. Data will be reported in
aggregate forms in any presentations or publications that result from this
study, which has been determined exempt from IRB oversight. More details
are provided at the start of the survey.

*Many thanks in advance* for your time and for sharing your insights!

*Please excuse cross-postings.*

Sincerely,
