Hello again!

First, I apologize for the cross-postings.  I am trying to reach as many
libraries as possible, and hence, this message is being sent across 13
lists.  I have blind-copied the message and just put my e-mail address in
the TO: field in an effort to prevent replies going to lists.

Second, I have received 47 responses to my survey to date (as of 11:30 CDT
Saturday morning) and I thank all of you who have taken the time to fill out
the form!  I have also received 13 individual responses for information
about my findings and I thank all of you for your interest.  My goal is to
have data from 100 libraries, which means I need at least another 53
responses.  Would you mind taking a few minutes to fill this out?  What I am
researching is how libraries manage all of the license agreements involved
with the various resources we subscribe to.  This would include public
access resources such as online databases and encyclopedias as well as
in-house resources, such as the library automation system, OCLC, etc.  I
realize some automation systems have a module for managing this type of
information.  However, sometimes it is too pricy for libraries to add this
resource, so how are you keeping track of contact information, subscription
dates, license agreements, etc.?  I have created a brief 1-page form which
should take less than 15 minutes to complete.  I ask for your help in this
project.  If you want, I can keep you informed of what I discover.  Thank
you for your time!
