-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Deborah Littrell Sent: Sunday, March 05, 2006 12:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [syscon-tx] Public libraries and the Internet - please respond! Colleagues: This is a very important survey. Please read the information below and please respond. Thanks! Deborah Littrell Director, Library Development division Texas State Library and Archives Commission PO Box 12927 Austin, TX 78711-2927 512-463-5456 512-463-8800 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] A national survey of public libraries and Internet connectivity was sent to libraries across the country last week. The study is funded by the the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the American Library Association (ALA), and conducted by researchers from Florida State University's Information Use Management and Policy Institute (http://www.ii.fsu.edu). The survey has a total of 15 questions that will take you about 15 minutes to complete. Questions 1-10 ask questions regarding selected library branches in your system (if applicable), while questions 11-15 pertain to the entire library system. It is likely that not all of your branches were included in the study, as they were selected randomly. To read more about the study and access the survey, visit http://www.plinternetsurvey.org. You will need your state assigned Library ID code included in the letter you received to initiate the survey. If you have lost that ID number, you can look it up when you go to the "complete the survey" page. If you have any questions, or need further assistance, please e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] The answers you provide will provide public libraries, state library agencies, the Gates Foundation, ALA, policymakers, and others with extremely important data regarding public library Internet connectivity issues, what it takes to sustain public access Internet services in your library, and the impacts of such connectivity in the communities that your library serves. Thank you for your help! ************************************************************************* * John Carlo Bertot, Ph.D. Phone: (850) 644-8118 * * Professor Fax: (850) 644-4522 * * College of Information Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Florida State University http://www.ii.fsu.edu/~jbertot/ * * 101 Shores Building * * Tallahassee, FL 32306-2100 * ************************************************************************* _______________________________________________ syscon-tx mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.tsl.state.tx.us/mailman/listinfo/syscon-tx
