> I write to kindly request your participation in a survey on libraries’
> responses to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access
> Policy for authors who receive NIH funding to deposit final versions
> of their accepted manuscripts to NIH’s PubMed Central database. These
> papers would then become freely available to the public no later than
> 12 months after publication. How are academic libraries responding?
> The survey will provide information on what methods libraries are
> using to engage their campuses on a variety of scholarly
> communications issues, including the NIH Public Access Policy, and how
> successful they feel these efforts have been. Survey responses will
> inform a presentation to take place at the Annual Conference of the
> North American Serials Interest Group in June 2009.
>
> The survey contains 25 questions and should take approximately 20
> minutes to complete. You can exit the survey at any time. Demographic
> data is requested in order to determine the existence and prevalence
> of patterns related to scholarly communication outreach and education
> activities.

> Please follow the link to take the survey:
