Subject: NISO Serials Study - Library Questionnaire

From: Marilyn Geller <marilyn.geller@CONFIGUREDINFO.COM>

Recently, NISO, the National Information Standards Organization and DLF,
the
Digital Library Federation announced the undertaking of a two month
study to
evaluate the current use and potential of standards to facilitate the
exchange of serials subscription information for both print and
electronic
resources.  NISO would like to know more about how libraries gather, use
and
share subscription information.

A questionnaire for libraries has been placed on the NISO web site.
Because
NISO supports the development of standards for the information community
based on consensus among constitiuents, we are grateful for the interest
of
libraries who benefit so much from these standards.

Please take some time to visit the NISO web site and fill out the survey
which can be found at: http://www.niso.org/survey/serials.cfm.  The
survey
will close on May 30.  A final report on this study, including
recommendations,  will be on the NISO website in late June.
