Subject: ICT and Brexit change survey – extended deadline
Apologies for cross posting
We
have been asked to extend this survey
(
https://opinio.ucl.ac.uk/s?s=80453) for a further month in line with
the time previous surveys ran. It will therefore close on Tuesday 11th
April straight after Easter. This is because a lot of people are part
way through and in addition a number of people had not seen the save
button which appears at the bottom of each survey page. We would further
note that the survey is intended to be neither remain or leave in its
questioning – both sides have queried this. We are keen to understand
perspectives of the ICT/information sectors following Brexit. We
appreciate everyone’s time and perspectives on this. Below is the
original text when posted with an update on timeframes…
Brexit
has been a significant change for the UK and EU, including in the
contexts of the ICT sector and those who manage information, whether in
the public or private sectors. At the three-year departure point we are
seeking the views of information professionals on the shifting
opportunities and threats for the ICT/information sector in the light of
Brexit. Whilst Brexit was a UK decision, it has had potentially global
ramifications and therefore we are looking to draw in perspectives from
across the globe. We understand that there will be differing views both
negative and positive – we want to hear all these perspectives.
We
would be so grateful if you would respond to this survey at - it will
take 10-20 minutes to complete depending on if you just check the
multiple-choice boxes or if you wish to share further written comments.
All questions are optional. The survey is anonymous and no IP addresses
are being collected. We know that you are busy and appreciate your time.
The survey will close on 11th April 2023.
Please
do forward on this email so that we can reach as many people as
possible and tweet:
Please complete survey on information/ICT
professionals’ views on Brexit and change

The
results of this survey will be published in an open access form. Please
note this survey follows four earlier surveys charting change through
the Brexit process, the first immediately after the Referendum (written
up at:
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0186452),
one at a mid-point which was accompanied by workshops (written up at:
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0227089)
and the others from the transition points onwards. Whether or not you
have completed any earlier surveys, we would appreciate your input now.
This is likely to be the last survey we publish tracing the changes.
The
research is a partnership between the iSchools at UCL (Dr Elizabeth
Lomas) and Northumbria University (Emerita Professor Julie McLeod). The
survey is being facilitated by Dr Elizabeth Lomas

Thank you for your help.
