[Sigdl-l] Call for Survey Participation: Adoption of Preservation Metadata...

[Daniel Alemneh]

We would like to invite you to participate in a research study whose main goal is to identify and understand factors affecting adoption of PREservation Metadata Implementation Strategies (PREMIS) in cultural heritage institutions. The online survey questionnaire contains 18 questions and would take about 15 minutes to complete.

You will be asked to indicate various factors and rate the importance of each factor and the role it played in influencing your decision-making processes. Your co-operation in providing the information will be invaluable in ensuring a true picture is formed. Your response will be recorded anonymously and findings will be summarized in aggregated form to protect the identity of participating individuals and institutions.

If your institution has implemented (or plans to implement) PREMIS, we specifically encourage you to participate in the study. Results of this study may benefit cultural heritage institutions in making more conscious decisions regarding adoption of preservation metadata in general. To participate in this online survey please go to: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=uehwFW92JN5NXfhpwFC8Cw_3d_3d

Please feel free to forward this to colleagues you think might be interested. Should you have any questions or desire further information, please contact Daniel Gelaw Alemneh at: dalemneh at library.unt.edu.

Thanks in advance for your participation. Your response is highly valued and appreciated.
