----------------------------Original message----------------------------
UCSD is looking into ramping up our digital image reserves operations, and
we are interested in what other universities and colleges are doing in this
arena, but we haven't seen any detailed surveys of this before. The survey
is fairly short (33 questions) and shouldn't take much of your time. We
would appreciate any information you could provide.
The survey can be answered either by answering the questions below (please
reply directly to me -- sjurist=40ucsd.edu, not to the list) or by filling
out a survey form at : http://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/2964/dirsurvey.htm
Surveys filled out on the web will be anonymous if you wish.
Sorry for any duplication -- this list was cross posted on ARLIS-L and
VRA-L. I will summarize the results of the survey on both lists, and all
submissions will remain confidential.
Thank you for your cooperation. If possible, please complete the survey by
February 24th.
