Research Information Network Survey

The Research Information Network needs your help.

The RIN needs your input and perspective as a researcher in order to better understand some of the obstacles you face using information resources. Please take 15 minutes to fill in the online survey.

In the interest of improving timely access to information resources for researchers, the Research Information Network (http://www.rin.ac.uk/) has commissioned a number of studies on the nature and scale of limitations and barriers encountered by researchers when seeking to access resources. This is part of the RIN’s mission to undertake evidence-based research into information and data issues that relate to researchers.

Within this context, Outsell (UK) Ltd (http://www.outsellinc.com/) is carrying out two studies on the RIN’s behalf. The first survey focuses on how often researchers are unable to obtain access to licensed information resources at their own institution, and how they currently overcome these obstacles.

Your input will provide vital insight to these issues and how they may be resolved going forwards.

The survey will be live online from 12th January – 20th February. You can access it here http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=7Gm90P1n3aSLO87xHwvITw_3d_3d

Any answers you provide will be treated as strictly confidential and shared only with RIN in an aggregated format.
