I am involved in a study of the International Academy of Astronautics and what we are trying to do is to ascertain the expectations of the public, particularly youth, regarding space activities. We have made a lot of progress over the past year and have put a questionnaire up on a special Web site at www.space-expectations.org Since many of you work in a university or library, then I wonder whether you might be willing to draw the attention of your students or users to the Web site and ask them to simply complete the questionnaire there (which is in several languages). This would be very helpful in getting as wide a distribution as possible. You can fill it in too - indeed please give it to any one you can - family, colleagues, friends! A suggested text for any announcement you might care to make is given below.
