> 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:

> Monday, April 6, 2009. If you have any questions or concerns, please
