Subject:  ALA CODES committee survey request

With apologies for duplication:

The Liaison with Users Committee of CODES, a section of ALA, recognizes that 
there have been many changes in collection development and in liaison 
responsibilities. This survey is to determine what responsibilities liaisons 
currently have, what percentage of their time is spent doing liaison work, 
and if there is a need for additional professional development opportunities 
related to this work.

The survey will be used to determine the need for revision of the guidelines 
listed below, as well as programming for the committee. The results will be 
made available to assist others who are interested in knowing the state of 
liaison work nationwide. The survey consists of 13 questions and responses 
will remain anonymous. The survey does ask for some library demographic 
information, but does not ask for specific identifying information about 
your or your library.

If you are a public librarian: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=210442688000
If you are an academic,school, or special librarian: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=712932471684

According to the Guidelines for Liaison Work in Managing Collections and Services, 
Liaison Work:
1. is the process by which librarians involve the library's clientele in the 
assessment and satisfaction of collection needs.
2. includes identifying user needs, evaluating existing collections, removing 
extraneous materials, and locating resources that will enhance the collections.
3. enables the library to communicate its collection policies, services and needs 
to its clientele and to enhance the library's public relations.
4. enables the library's clientele to communicate its library needs and preferences 
to the library staff and governing body.

With thanks,

Elisabeth
