That survey is waaay toooo long and detailed, and many questions are asked in the negative, for example: If you weren't going to do objective X, and you wanted to lie about your answer, what wouldn't your answer be? I demand a redesign, a discussion period of 60 days, followed by a parliamentary evaluation, and a resubmission containing only one question: "How's your library tech support?". Greg Sorry: I guess I'm feeling rascally (sp?) today. I'll just go away now. --------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nicole Engard" <nengard@gmail.com> To: "Koha-Mailingliste" <Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz>, "OSS4LIB List" <oss4lib-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 5:05:57 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [Koha] Fwd: Some research you may be interested in I thought this survey may be of interest to some of you as well and Kate has told me I'm free to share it with you all.

Actually, I thought you might be interested in responding to our survey! ;) Basically, we've been thinking about libraries' use of SaaS, the cloud and Open Source Software, and pondering what the implications are for libraries' relationships with their local IT groups, for service sustainability, and for staff skills. Given your background and interests, I thought you might be interested in completing our survey. You can find it at http://tinyurl.com/libsysskills. And you can read the full abstract for the paper we're writing on my blog at http://virtuallyalibrarian.com/2009/10/20/libraries-saas-the-cloud-and-more-.... We're really keen to get data from outside Australia so that the research is more meaningful.
