  • 1.  Survey to Gather Input on Continuing Education/Professional Development Needs Among Museum Staff

    Posted 03-21-2016 08:11 AM

    Museum folks, your voices are needed! Take the Mapping the Landscapes Continuing Education / Professional Development survey before 3/24: goo.gl/QLPEYQ

    Continuing education/professional development (CE/PD) is an essential part of each of our professional lives, yet too little is known about how it is actually used and perceived across the museum, archives, and library professions.   The Mapping the Landscapes project is the first comprehensive effort to rectify this gap in our understanding of CE/PD needs and opportunities, seeking to establish a national dataset of professional competencies and benchmarks, attitudes toward CE/PD, engagement patterns, and drivers and barriers for participation.

    As a professional who relies on CE/PD resources, the Mapping the Landscapes survey is an opportunity for your voice to be heard! Please take about 20 minutes to complete the survey.

    ​To participate in the survey, just click the following link any time through March 24th:

    I just tried all the links in my message again, Kathleen, and they seem to be working.

    The link is not working for me either.  The FAQs link works, but not the link for the survey.

    I just attempted to complete the survey and the link didn't work for me.

    Good luck with your survey- it sounds like an interesting project!

    I copied the link address which Anne listed in her original post, goo.gl/QLPEYQ and pasted it into my browser and indeed the survey came up.

    Thank you Anne for bringing this good work to our attention.
