> Subject: Scientific E-Journals - A User Study
>
> Dear Colleague,
>
> The rapid spread of electronic journals (e-journals) has affected the ways
>
> scientists and physicians use scientific journals. E-journals provide a
> variety of features to their users, and thus far, relatively few data have
>
> been collected about the usefulness of these features and how they affect
> the
> work of scholars and practitioners.
>
> The Stanford University Libraries ask your help in understanding the
> impact
> of e-journal features, as part of a large-scale study of the use of
> e-journals. We would greatly appreciate your taking a few minutes to fill
> out
> our online e-journals survey by going to the following address (or
> clicking on
> this link) http://www.surveyhosting.net/stanford/usersurvey.htm?1700
> within the next seven (7) days. The survey asks questions about your use
> of
> e-journal features (including e-mail alerts), features you'd like to see
> in
> the future, and related scholarly practices such as searching for
> articles,
> staying current in your field and subscribing to journals. Responses to
> the
> survey will be analyzed and published in an aggregate format only on the
> project website (the URL is below) in Spring, 2002.
>
> Funded by the Mellon Foundation, this study is being conducted in
> cooperation
> with many of the scholarly societies that publish their electronic
> editions
> with the help of Stanford's HighWire Press. Those societies, recognizing
> the
> need to gather data about the use of e-journals and their features, have
> graciously enabled us to send this request to the e-mail addresses of
> those
> who signed up for their "email table of contents" services, including
> yours.
>
> If you would like additional information about the study of which the
> survey
> is a part, please go to the home page for the project listed below. We
> will
> respect your privacy absolutely (the URL for our privacy statement is also
>
> below).
>
> We hope you agree this is an important undertaking and will accordingly
> give
> it the benefit of your participation.
>
> I thank you prospectively for your assistance.
>
> Sincerely yours,
