[OPLINTECH] 2004 OPLIN Connectivity Survey

[Joel Husenits]

2004 OPLIN Connectivity Survey
 
As we do every year, OPLIN is asking all public libraries to participate
in our annual survey of public access.  This year we are asking for more
data about database expenditures.  The purposes of this survey are: 
 
* To report the results to 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.
* To get an accurate picture of how much libraries are individually
spending on databases, in order to see how we can do better contracting
as a group.
 
Because it is crucial to our operations, OPLIN needs a 100% response
rate.  The survey can be found as a webform on the OPLIN website at
http://new.oplin.org/librarians/surveys/2004Survey.htm. The survey
should be completed entirely by each public library and regional library
system and returned by Friday, May 14, 2004.  This year, as in previous
years, we will be following up with phone calls to libraries that do not
respond, in order to ensure 100% participation.  

Please forward this message to the appropriate person in your
organization who can provide the data we need.  Thank you in advance for
your assistance.
