[Asis-l] What does it mean to be good at searching online? Be a part of finding the answer!

[Bailey, Earl]

Are you an expert online searcher? What makes you an expert? We want to find out! We are seeking online search experts to fill out a short (5-7) minute survey to help determine which qualities or experience might set you apart from other searchers. Your participation is vital in order to compare your responses to the responses of the average searcher.

Please consider participating now - the survey will be available online for a limited time. Your participation will consist of answering a set of questions related to online searching, including some questions about your experience searching. Your answers to these questions will be anonymous and will be used to further refine the survey and to help determine what it takes to be an expert online searcher.

This is a research study. To join the study is voluntary. You may refuse to join, or you may withdraw your consent to be in the study, for any reason, without penalty. Research studies are designed to obtain new knowledge.

Participants who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing for one of two $25  Amazon gift cards as a thank you for participating.

Thank you for your attention. I hope that you will choose to participate. Please click on the link below to participate.
