Brendan Gallagher, a participant in Leslie Berger´s Emerging Leaders
Initiative, posted to the Mentors, Masters, Leaders blog today about
the survey that´s been making the rounds through various digital
venues:

I´m one of the ALA Emerging Leaders this year, and I´m part of a
work team that is looking at options for "rebranding the library
profession in the digital world." We´ve decided to survey as broad a
spectrum of library professionals as possible in order to see what we
think of ourselves.

This survey is part of Project KK. You can read more about the
project and other projects on the ALA Emerging Leaders wiki. I´ve
seen the survey mentioned on Twitter, in emails, in IM chats, and on
blogs, and I´m hoping that ALA will actually post a link to it from
the ALA home page, which would make a lot of sense and increase the
outreach of such an important request for feedback.
