Dear Colleagues,

This is a final call for participation in a survey “Providing Access to
Electronic Journals in Academic Libraries: A General Survey” which will close
on November 1st.  The purpose of this survey is to determine how academic
libraries are providing access to electronic journals within the changing
bibliographic universe that now includes tools such as OpenURL link resolvers,
Google Scholar and metasearch tools.  The survey is intended as an
environmental scan focussing on the different ways access to electronic
journals is provided and how these practices may have changed.

The intended audience for the survey is academic libraries.  The survey should
be completed by the person or persons responsible for cataloguing or providing
access to electronic journals within the library.

The survey will be available online until November 1st, 2005.  Participation
in the survey is voluntary and responding to the questionnaire will be
considered consent to participate. All information submitted will be
anonymous; no personal or institutional information will be collected.  The
results of this survey will be published sometime in 2006, with publication
information being posted to this list, along with a brief summary of the
results.  The Joint-Faculty Research Ethics Board of the University of
Manitoba has approved this research; should participants have any concerns or
complaints about the project they may contact the Human Ethics Coordinator at
204-474-7122.

The survey consists of 30 questions and is available at
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=991291402504.  It will take
approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Thank you,
