Member Advocacy Task Force Covid-19 Employment Impact Survey
Has the Covid-19 pandemic affected your employment status, wages or workload? What resources can ARCS provide to help? The Member Advocacy Task Force has developed a survey to gather data on how the collections community has been impacted by Covid-19 and to gauge interest in resources ARCS can provide to help.
Please take a moment to answer this brief survey and help us bring attention to how our field has been impacted. All responses are anonymous and results will be shared with members in a future ARCS Update.
