worth £27.
I would like to invite you to take part in a survey intended to
establish how the majority of Cambridge University students and staff
access, or would like to access, information away from your desk or
laptop. The survey questions are primarily about how you use your mobile
phone, smartphone or PDA to look up, use or interact with information.
As mobile phone use has become increasingly common, more and more ways
of using them to access or interact with information have developed.
Newer models of mobile phones are more powerful than personal computers
were a few years ago and often include much of the functionality of a
pocket PC, such as a calendar, a camera, a notes function, and an
internet browser.
All answers will be completely anonymous. If you choose to provide your
email address to enter the prize draw, or if you wish to contribute
further to the project, we will not associate it with your responses or
retain it after the end of the project. The aggregated survey results,
however, will be made publicly available and may be used to inform
development of services for students and staff.
This research is being undertaken jointly at Cambridge University and
The Open University as part of the Arcadia project. Staff and students
at The Open University will be receiving the same survey. For more
information about the project, please click on the link provided at the
end of the survey.
To take the survey go to http://cli.gs/caminfosurvey . It should take 10
to 15 minutes to complete it. The cut-off date for submissions is 19
March 2009.
Many thanks,
Keren Mills
