Dear Colleagues,

I would like to invite you to participate in a survey on library
collaboration in purchasing publisher-specific electronic journal packages.

Below is a link to a short survey, hosted by surveymonkey.com.  The survey
should take 15-20 minutes to complete.

The survey does ask for some basic library demographic information, but does
not ask for any specific identifying information about your or your library.
Also, the survey does not ask for any contract details that might fall under
confidentiality clauses.

I would ask that only one person from each institution represented on this
list respond to this survey.  However, this survey is being sent to several
lists for the purpose of collecting data about different sets of libraries.
If you received this invitation on more than one list, you may respond once
for each list.

This study has been reviewed by The University of Mississippi's
Institutional Review Board (IRB).  The IRB has determined that this study
fulfills the human research subject protections obligations required by
state and federal law and University policies.  If you have any questions,
concerns, or reports regarding your rights as a participant of research,
please contact the IRB at (662) 915-7482.

Sincerely,
