Subject: MeSH authority practices survey

Please excuse the cross-posting.

We would like to invite librarians interested in MeSH (medical subject
headings) authority control to complete an online survey.

The survey is being conducted by the Health Sciences OCLC Users Group (<
http://hsoclcug.org >).  It is coordinated by Dan Kniesner
(kniesner@ohsu.edu) at Oregon Health & Science University Library and
Judith Dzierba (Judith_L_Dzierba@rush.edu) at the Library of Rush
University.

The survey is anonymous and will assess the current diversity of MeSH
authority practices in health sciences libraries, as well as the impact
NLM's application of MeSH and the lack of MeSH authorities in OCLC has
had on those practices.

Survey deadline is April 20, 2002.  It can be found at:
<http://intercom.virginia.edu/SurveySuite/Surveys/HSOCLCUG_Survey >.
Results will be posted on the HSOCLCUG website.
