Dear Library & Corrections Professionals:

It’s me again, with a FINAL REMINDER about the survey I’m conducting for my master’s thesis at UCLA in the Department of Information Studies. Many heartfelt thanks to those who have taken the survey! However, I could still use more responses (100% would be nice!) & some responses were incomplete. 8-(

I wish to determine the state of library and literacy services and programs in juvenile correctional facilities in California, especially given the current economic crisis! So, if you work in, or provide services to a state, county or private juvenile correctional facility in California (including camps/ranches – this may not have been clear in my earlier postings!), I would be most grateful if you would complete this short survey (about 10-15 minutes):

Even if there is no library or literacy services at your site, please complete as much of the survey as you can – there are Comments fields where you can provide information as to why there are no library or literacy services, or if there were in the past, or if you’d like such services, etc.

This survey will close March 31, so please get your responses in soon – & please nudge anyone else you know who works with incarcerated youth!

Confidentiality will be strictly maintained -- no personal identifying information will be used in this study. If you have any questions or concerns about this survey, you may contact me, Susan Minobe, at sminobe@ucla.edu or my faculty advisor, Virginia Walter, at walter@gseis.ucla.edu.

Many, many apologies yet again for cross-posting & duplication, but thank you very much for your time and participation!
