Creating a Questionaire

I created a questionaire that I handed out at our team meeting on the 15th. I still have to compile the results but the response was very positive. I included an incentive and had a door prize type drawing for anyone who submitted their questionaire before the end of the training. I had 34 returned of the 38 in attendance so I thought that response was excellant. I am going to send the questionaire off to Dr. Hastings and see what she has to say. I did not get a good response from Dr. Solomon in my research class but for a first attempt it was not too bad and got the information I needed to move forward with the digital library.
Now, I have to compile the results and move forward with the actual building of the site.

Creating a survery

We are having a huge meeting next Saturday and I have decided to design a survey to get input from those who are part of the region as to what they would like to see in a digital repository and how they would use it.
Since we are talking in one of my classes right now about using surveys and interviews in research it is a perfect way to tie these two classes together and to get some experience. I am also going to publish the questions to our yahoo group so that those who can not attend can have a chance to give their input!
This will be exciting and I feel like a real step to moving forward in building this virtual library.
