Hi everybody,
Some of you will be quite familiar with this concept, to
others, it will be new: since time immemorial (and my memory in these matters
goes back precisely to 2003, when I joined RLG), the libraries in the RLG
Partnership have shared what has happened in between ARLIS conferences through
a Round Robin. In consultation with ARLIS, we’ll include all art and
architecture libraries in the exercise this year.
And as if that weren’t enough innovation, we’ve
also changed to format of the survey. Instead of using e-mail to share the round
robins (as we have done since said time immemorial), we'll try SurveyMonkey
instead. It should be much easier to collate the responses that way, and you'll
be able to see what your colleagues have said once you've filled out your
survey. To give newcomers a heads up, I’ve copied & pasted the 5
open-ended questions (plus the bonus question) below so you can think about
them before opening the survey.
So without more ado, here it is, the 2010 Round Robin
survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ARLIS_RoundRobin
The survey will be open until April 14th. Results of the Round
Robin will be shared with the ARLIS board and the community at large (you’ll
be able to download them), and as tradition demands, trends get synthesized by
Amy Lucker during the RLG Roundtable (Saturday, 11:30 – 1:00pm).
Let’s see how this works out – and thanks for
playing!
