----------------------------Original message----------------------------
In preparation for a session at the Pittsburgh conference, I am trying to
identify some factors related to distance learning and the ARLIS/NA
membership. If you are at an educational institution and could take a few
minutes to answer the following survey, it would be a great help for me to
get an idea of where we stand. Even if your institution does not provide
distance learning courses, if you could answer numbers 1, 11 and 12, that
information would also be useful. Please return surveys to me
([log in to unmask]), not to the list. Thank you very much.
