Electronic Information Survey 2004

["Pechlaner, Veronika" <Veronika.Pechlaner@gs.com>]

Dear Librarians,

We have enjoyed reading your comments on the 'Liblicence' discussion list.

We are Chris Collett and Veronika Pechlaner, independent equity research
analysts at Goldman Sachs, an investment bank. We have designed a short
survey to address the issues concerning electronic information usage and
pricing.  If you are a librarian, we would be grateful if you would
complete the survey attached.

This survey is independent in that it is not sponsored by any journal
provider.  Any information gathered from this survey will be publicly
available in aggregated form.  If you complete the survey we will process
your data immediately and send you the results when completed.

How we can help you

We hope this will give you (and us) an insight into the main views and
concerns about electronic information provision, and what changes we will
need in the future to deal with these issues. By completing the survey you
will therefore see whether other librarians share your views on this
subject.

Plus if you are one of the first 100 entrants, your name will be put in a
draw to win a top-of-the-range digital camera.

How you can help us

As a purchaser of electronic information your actions will shape the
product and pricing decisions of electronic information suppliers.  
Ideally we would like the brief questionnaire to be filled out by the
person who makes purchasing decisions in your library - such as your head
librarian.  Your help in forwarding this email to the appropriate person
would be greatly appreciated.

It is easy

You can access our survey by clicking on the following link

If you have any questions regarding the survey or problems while filling
it out please do not hesitate to contact us at the contact number provided
at the bottom of this email.

We look forward to sharing some interesting results with you in the very
near future!

With very best regards,

Chris Collett and Veronika Pechlaner
