Results of the website section of the communications survey

By Administrator. Published on March 17, 2008 in Chapter Reports and web dev. 0 Comments

Thanks to everyone—and there were a lot of you—who responded to the communications survey! Since launching the new site last Summer, this is the first formal investigation into its use. Our site is powered by WordPress which allows any chapter member to contribute. One person wrote that the chapter wants members to use the blog. Just to clarify: the chapter wants its members to communicate using whatever technology is appropriate. (Talking is good.) But, yes, please do try the blog out. Let’s all learn together. Please consider promoting your work on the website. Are you promoting Women’s History Month with an exhibition in your library? Did you talk to a community group about health information? Toot your own horn. Post about it to let your colleagues know and to let the public see the great work we do. While our website’s main target audience is its members, the public and our stakeholders—employers, vendors, users—are also important. We get a lot more hits than are accounted for by the 64 people who responded that they’ve viewed the site. Many of our visitors come from search engine queries on names of our members and their institutions; consider this as a way to publicize your information services and the value you add to your organizations.

The survey addressed readership, authorship, and value. Full results are summarized here.
