Koha - 2011 Annual Library Automation Perceptions survey
by Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Dear All Requesting to act as per the following mail to join a global survey on Koha Thanks and regards, ---------------------------------------------------- Dr. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay Assistant Professor (Sr. Scale) Department of Library and Information Science The University of Burdwan (WB) ------------------------------------------ To all libraries using Koha: As Joann mentioned, I am collecting data for the 2011 Annual Library Automation Perceptions survey. This survey aims to provide some general measurement of the levels of satisfaction that libraries have with their library automation systems and the organizations that support them. I am aware that many libraries using Koha do so independently without direct involvement of a support firm. Even in these cases, data regarding the perceived quality and functionality of the automation system would be very helpful. The survey also probes at the relative level of interest in open source automation systems. I do hope that all libraries using Koha will respond to the survey. The survey forms are linked to each library’s entry in the lib-web-cats directory, so you will need to submit an entry if your library is not already represented. A large number of libraries using Koha are already represented, but I’m sure that there are many still missing. See: [http://www.librarytechnology.org/libraries.pl?ILS=Koha] [http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Koha] A strong response will help document the worldwide impact of Koha. To participate in the survey, you can start with the instructions given on the current posting on the top page of Library Technology Guides: [http://www.librarytechnology.org/] Marshall Breeding -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
