I submitted a survey to our discussion board about a week ago. Dr Solomon's response was "It is what it is". That has me worried. I did not realize how difficult it was to write a survey/questionaire. So, I guess it is back to the drawing board because even though I got the infomation I wanted for my digital library is was obviously not a very well written questionaire.
I had a hard time coming up with questions that were easy to answer, would require just a quick response and would get those who would be using the library thinking but not thinking too hard. After reading much of the Robson text my impression of questionaires is that they are good to get a general idea of the need but then they need to get more in depth and be used in conjuction with other types of research tools.
So, I am going to attempt to write another one. I also made appointments today to interview the 2 people in charge of our ebook program in our public library. I want to get a better sense of what they had to go through to launch the program, what they see as the future for the ebook and many other questions which I will try to formulate for a interview. So, I have more questionaire types writing to do!
