As we explored these questions, our objectives were to: • Measure sexual harassment experiences qualitatively and quantitatively, including types of behaviors experienced and user categories of those who exhibit behaviors • Measure opinions of library staff regarding institutional support around sexual harassment • Produce policy and training recommendations for UC Libraries based on our findings We hoped that by sharing the results of our study, we could begin systemwide conversa- tions about how to address sexual harassment of UC Libraries staff members.	cache/crl-24834.pdf	txt/crl-24834.txt
