[Koha] Fwd: Some research you may be interested in

[gsl]

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?".

Sorry: I guess I'm feeling rascally (sp?) today. I'll just go away now.

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.

Hi Nicole

At the moment, a colleague and I are undertaking some research for a
conference paper that I thought you might be interested in. 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-participate-in-our-survey/.
We're really keen to get data from outside Australia so that the
research is more meaningful.

Cheers
Kate
