Dear Colleagues:
The Resource Sharing Committee is examining steps that might be taken to
further facilitate the exchange of duplicate materials among the
membership of IAMSLIC. Your participation in this brief survey will be
helpful in determining our recommendations for the program.
The survey is presented in two forms. Those able to accept email
attachments, please find a Word document attached. If you are unable to
accept or open the attachment, please see the text of the survey below.
Completed surveys can be returned to my attention either by email or
post. Please return your completed survey by 30 April 2005.
Many thanks,
Ann
for the Resource Sharing Committee
