Undergrad music students–Help out MPAL–Participate in our research project

MPAL is doing a study on how music students find music scores and recordings for their studies (remember the survey from last semester?). Now we’d like to do someone-hour focus groups to talk to you more in depth about this.

If you want to help and are a music student, please email slsnyde2@illinois.edu with your name, major, and year in school.

Participants will receive a $10 Espresso gift card.

We really appreciate your help as this will help us improve our Library services.

Thank you,

Kirstin
Music and Performing Arts Librarian
