===I am conducting a research project to collect perspectives from school librarians in New York State about their knowledge and experience with respect to serving the information needs of students with disabilities. ===

===This email has been sent to request your participation in this research study. Your participation would consist of accessing an online questionnaire to respond to items that ask you to reflect on your knowledge and experience related to students with disabilities. The survey questionnaire contains 20 items (two are completely optional) and an area that allows you to share information with me that may not have been addressed within the questionnaire . It is expected that participation in the survey will take approximately 10-12 minutes. ===

===Please feel free to contact me at refrankl@syr.edu or 315-443-4473 if you have questions or concerns about the research project or the data collection process. ===
