> 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
