Please forgive the duplication
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to kindly request your participation in a survey on
libraries’ changes to their approval plans. We are gathering data for a
presentation to take place at the Timberline Acquisitions Institute in
May 2009. The survey will provide us with information on how libraries
are budgeting for print monographs, taking into account both approval
plans and firm order allocations, in response to twin pressures from the
economy and the need to provide electronic resources. The survey
includes questions relating to recent and expected changes in libraries’
material budgets, budget percents devoted to approvals and firm orders,
and reasons for changing those allocations.
The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete, and you can
exit the survey at any time. Demographic data is requested in order to
determine the level of comparison with our own type and size of institution.
Please follow the link to take the survey:

Thank you in advance for your time. The survey will remain open until
Monday, April 6, 2009. If you have any questions or concerns, please
contact Joseph Thomas (thomasw_at_ecu.edu) or Lisa Barricella
(barricellal_at_ecu.edu).
Respectfully,
Joseph Thomas, Collection Development Librarian
