Are you curious about what faculty think about collaboration, designing instruction, and professional development? The PALSave: PALNI Affordable Learning Team is. If you teach at a [PALNI-supported institution](https://palni.org/supported-institutions), we want to hear from you. The results of the [PALSave Professional Development Interest Survey](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfASsJefvKzVC0z4ZdSWeRYt1aVy3FyPslYPZgDpDtPsWx-aA/viewform?usp=header) will help us to design professional learning and collaboration opportunities that align with the current needs and preferences of faculty.

The survey should take 10-25 minutes to complete, depending on how many of the free-responses you choose to answer. All questions are optional, and you can remain entirely anonymous. You may elect to identify which institution you teach at; if we receive at least 5 responses from an institution we will share aggregate data. This can help librarians at your school better understand your perspective and how to connect you with resources.

Some early findings:

- 80% of respondents (so far) are interested in collaboration with faculty in their subject area at other PALNI institutions.
- About 40% of respondents collaborate with peers at least monthly to find or create instructional materials.
- When designing a course, 70% of respondents use resources from professional organizations compared to 39% that use the library.

We hope you will consider participating! The survey deadline is April 23. If you have any questions, please reach out to [Emily Helton](mailto:emily@palni.edu), PALNI Affordable Learning Program Manager.
