[NHC List] LAST CALL for 2006: Online survey: NHC members

[Ruth Gustafson]

Hi, All:  We're now up to 28 responses for a nearly 60% return rate. Now's
your last chance to have your say before tomorrow's deadline!

Some more interesting preliminary survey results:  Nearly half of current
survey respondents are newer SLA and NHC members at less than 6 years as
SLA/NHC members! The majority are ALA members (14) with nearly the same
count being ACRL members too (13).

And yes, a separate survey will go out for non-NHC members -- I needed to
point this out in the message below and forgot to ...

Look for an e-mail about the Annual NHC business meeting and dinner coming
soon.

Wow:  We are having an excellent response to our NHC member survey.
Seventeen people (36% of NHC members) have filled out the survey as of
Tuesday, May 30. Thank you very much to all of you who have taken the time
to respond to this NHC survey.

For those who have not had a chance to answer the survey -- you still have
another week!  The survey goes by quickly.  This is your opportunity to
contribute your opinions and ideas which will improve NHC services for
members in the very near future.

Please respond by Wednesday, June 7th by 5pm EST. It should take less than
10 minutes to answer.

>From the comments received so far, there are already some very clear
directions to follow and areas which members wish the caucus to focus on.

One noticeable item -- many of you don't know about the NHC website which
is a labor of love for Adam Schiff.  At survey's end you are taken to this
website so you have the opportunity to bookmark/save it for your future
reference.  Or you may explore the website now before filling out the
survey to help when you answer questions about it:
