Call for Participation: Survey on Web Proxy Use in Libraries

[Peter Murray]

    This message is being posted to several lists.  Please excuse the 
duplication.

I am conducting a survey on the use of web proxy servers in libraries. 
The survey is located at:

  <http://www.pandc.org/proxy/survey/>

A summary of the responses will be posted to the same web site in 
mid-December.  One of the questions at the end asks where you learned 
about the survey; if there are responses based on the posting to this 
list I'll send a summary to this list as well.  Responses to the survey 
may be used in future presentations and publications.

The survey consists of a group of questions regarding your library's 
use or planned use of proxy servers to solve one or more of these 
problems:

 1. Bandwidth Conservation
 2. Gathering Statistics
 3. Filtering
 4. Remote Resource Access

For each area, you will be asked which proxy server you are using or 
plan to use to solve a particular problem along with followup questions 
specific to each problem.

This survey is being conducted in conjunction with the LITA Regional 
Institute on "Proxy Web Servers and Authentication" and a Southern 
Connecticut State University Department of Library and Information 
Sciences class.

Thank you for your participation!
