Apologies for cross posting.

Do you regularly work with the management and acquisition of electronic
resources as part of your job? Then please take the following survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=RlMSVyC1i_2bIMVsUH4hsxLQ_3d_3d

The purpose of this survey is to determine how librarians with
electronic resources duties acquired the training and skills necessary
to perform their jobs, how their work time is divided among tasks, and
to assess how well library and information science programs (LIS) are
preparing students to assume positions as librarians with electronic
resources duties.

We hope that the results of our survey will provide insight into the job
training processes and resources for electronic resources librarians.
Although few ALA-Accredited M.L.I.S. programs currently offer courses
specifically designed to address electronic resources management issues,
we hope that our findings might have a positive influence on this
situation. We have submitted an abstract for a paper based on this study
that we hope to present at the Association for Library and Information
Science Education (ALISE) in January 2008.
