[OPLINTECH] 2009 OPLIN Connectivity Survey (reminder)

[Stephen Hedges]

REMINDER: There are only about 31 hours left to complete and/or change
your responses to the OPLIN annual Connectivity Survey. Tomorrow at 4:00
is the deadline, and about 40 libraries have not even started. Don't
make me call you!   --Stephen

-----------------------------------
As we do every year, we respectfully request that every Ohio public
library system participate in the OPLIN annual survey of public computer
access. The purposes of this survey are:

    * to gather library connectivity data for the legislature and other
government entities that help make critical funding decisions;
    * to track the size and progress of the network, in order to
facilitate planning; and
    * to get accurate contact information for each library system.

Because this data is so crucial, OPLIN needs a 100% response rate;
please forward this message to the appropriate person(s) in your library
who can provide the data we need. The survey can be found as a webform
on the OPLIN website at http://www.oplin.org/survey. Responses from last
year are available to assist you in filling out the form.

The survey should be completed entirely by each public library and
regional library system and returned by 4:00 pm, Friday, August 21,
2009. You may enter and re-enter data as often as you want right up
until that deadline.

As in previous years, if necessary we will make phone calls to libraries
that do not respond, in order to ensure 100% participation.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
