Dear subscribers,
The NIFL electronic discussion groups have been in operation since
May 1995. NIFL-workplace now has over 700 subscribers! I conducted a
subscriber survey on the one-year anniversary of this group but
haven't done one since then. So, on our five-year anniversary (close
enough!), we would like to find out if this discussion group is
meeting your needs and interests. We will post a summary of the
survey to the list.
The survey should take only about 10 minutes (maybe less!) to fill
out. Individual responses will be kept confidential -- as long as you
follow the return directions below. If you return your survey to the
subscriber list, your responses will be broadcast to all
NIFL-workplace subscribers.
After you have completed the survey below, please e-mail it to
BLV1@PSE.EDU, fax it to 814-863-6108, or snail mail it to Barbara Van
Horn at 102 Rackley Building, University Park, PA 16802-3202.
Contact me if you have questions or concerns about the survey. We
look forward to hearing from you and truly appreciate your feedback!
Thanks for your support!
