[WEB4LIB] outsourcing

[Mary Jean Johnson]

I posted a survey to this and two other listservs. Thus far I have received
the total of 42 responses out of a total of about 3 700. Thirteen responses
were from academic libraries and in only 4 was training provided on
publishing on the web.
The results will be out next week.
