Electronic Newsletter Survey

[Scott Mellendorf]

Dear List Members,

Does your library produce an Electronic Newsletter?
I would like to do an analysis of library electronic newsletters being 
used on the Net. The survey consists of ten questions. Please forgive 
cross postings as I hope to send the survey to many lists. Please send 
survey response to :
mel at tardis.svsu.edu

Thank you for your time and interest. I hope to compile data over the 
holidays and submit findings for possible publication in early 96.
