The purpose of the study is to survey researchers with established interests in early modern marginalia studies about the development of a peer-to-peer research tool designed to facilitate their research. The tool will match scholars in need of photographs of unique pieces of evidence from rare books repositories with scholars able to take and deliver those photographs. The hypotheses of the study are that a) there is interest in a tool like this and b) scholars with established interests in the area can contribute meaningfully to the design of the tool. The aim of the study is to collect information through a survey about the degree to which such a tool might be used, for what reasons, and by whom, and about the features and functionalities that users would like to see in the tool.

The purpose of this study is to explore how moral distress impacted CCNs who actively engaged in practice during the pandemic and today. A quantitative survey design will be used to gather CCNs perceptions of moral distress using the Moral Distress Scale-Revised (MDS-R., Epstein et al, 2021); additional open-ended questions at the end of the survey will be used to gauge nurses' coping strategies and supports available to deal with moral distress. The open-ended questions will be derived from the literature, integrate the PIs observations, and used to complement findings from the MDS-R. The focus of this study will be solely on critical care nurses that worked through the COVID-19 pandemic due to the high-stress nature of that unit
