I am the representative for federal government libraries on the PAIS

Thanks.

        PAIS ARCHIVE SURVEY

        OCLC's Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS) is in the process
of developing the PAIS Archive, a retrospective A&I database chronicling
global public policy and social issues from the early twentieth century
through the 1970s, to be available on OCLC FirstSearch, Winter 2003 / Spring
2004. The PAIS Archive will include the complete content of the PAIS Annual
Cumulated Bulletin, Volumes 1 - 62, previously available only in print
format.

        We would appreciate your assistance, or that of an appropriate
colleague, in completing a brief survey to assist us in determining how to
go forward with certain database development issues. If you are willing to
participate, please complete the PAIS Archive mini-survey
<http://www.pais.org/feedback/survey.stm>. The responses will be forwarded
to the PAIS Archive editor. Your responses will be forwarded anonymously
unless you choose to provide your contact information. Thank you for your
participation.

        Any questions or comments regarding the PAIS Archive can be directed
