Colleagues,

We request your assistance with our future research by responding to
the attached linked survey at
http://www.hofstra.edu/hofstrasurvey/survey/215351/default.cfm .

The survey is brief, containing 22 questions and should take 15 minutes
to complete.  Please select the most appropriate responses based on your
library and your experience.  All the responses are confidential and
will not be distributed to the public.

This brief questionnaire is designed for professional serial librarians
to assess their tools they create or select to assist with the
management of print and electronic serial subscription information.

Due to the dramatic changes with in the profession and publishing
industry, serials librarians have been required to seek further training
or assistance from Information Technology department to help develop
management tools.  These tools are necessary components to enable
libraries to track print and electronic subscriptions within an
integrated environment.  Based on the results of this survey, we will
publish an article about serials librarians, their software preferences
and management tool uses.

Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in this endeavor.
