IM VR: What’s your opinion

From Dig_Ref:

Please share your opinions on virtual reference with us!

We are collecting information for a study on librarian opinions regarding chat and instant messenger (IM) as virtual reference delivery methods. The survey will take between 7 and 12 minutes, and will help us get a general idea of how many librarians are using, are opposed to, or have not explored IM as a virtual reference tool. We hope to publish the results in a peer-reviewed journal in 2006.

Here is the address to access the survey: http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB224Q22395K3

We will collect responses for four weeks, from November 3rd until December 1st.

You may also choose to view our informed consent form here: http://www.library.gsu.edu/download/informedconsent.htm

Thank you for your help and participation!

Sarah and Casey
