Audrey,

I think all those distribution ideas are good and we should try them all.
The only one I'm at all dubious about is the vendor one -- I don't know if
we'd get many responses. Definitely the Assembly should be involved in
this -- it should be on the agenda which Donna must be creating soon.

Form


Axel,

Thanks!  I think we should use your survey or one very like it at the ALA
Annual Conference.  Here are some possibilities:
1. Distribute it to ADA Assembly members and other disability advocates and
ask them to use it in the exhibits and return the forms to one or both of
us.
2. Have forms available at the Roads To Learning/ASCLA booth in the
Accessibility Pavilion, ask people who come by to take them, use and return
to a box in the booth
3.  Distribute at as many accessibility and disability-related programs as
possible during conference, with a note to drop them off at the Roads/ASCLA
booth
4.  Distribute it to vendors, especially at meetings of the Exhibitors Round
Table, and ask them to respond directly.

As always, I'm open to other ideas too!  Comments?  Suggestions, anyone?

Audrey

Hi there,

I created the attached survey form that I will use at the ACRL 2001
conference--to gather data and to raise awareness among vendors of web-based
information resources.

Feel free to make use of this form as you see fit.

If you use this form (or something like it), would you please share your
data with me (or with the discussion forum). We could consolidate our
findings and publish them on the web.

Thank you,
