I'm not sure what @LIST2D6B.PML is. If you use any type of electronic
questionnaire, make sure it is fully accessible. For example, make sure that
it can be accessed (and interacted with) by blind people who use
screenreading software to access the web?  Otherwise your survey would not
even allow certain groups to express their needs (such as web pages designed
according to barrier-free design principles).

                Subject:        Patron User Needs Survey

                Our library has created a team to assess current access to
                information and resources for patrons with disabilities,
find out
                what the current technologies, etc. are, and then to make
                recommendations/take action.

                We are interested in the possibility of doing a
@LIST2D6B.PML
                patron
                user need survey as part of this process.  This survey would
help us
                define what users say they actually need or what actually
works for
                them verses what we think they need or will work for them.

                Have any of you done such a survey?  If so, would you please
share
                your experience with this survey?  Would it be possible to
send us a
                copy of the survey instrument used?

                Thanks for your help!
