Next Wednesday is the last day to participate in the survey. Please consider responding today! If you have already submitted your responses, thank you for participating! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Attention Members of the Federal Library and Information Community: We are pleased to announce that the Federal Library and Information Center Committee (FLICC) is continuing its cooperation with Outsell, Inc.'s (http://www.outsellinc.com) on their annual study, "The Changing Roles of Content Management Functions." This invitation to particpate is for the second part of a two-part survey. (Outsell completed the first part of the survey last summer.) This study, covering industries and government agencies, will focus on information management functions that buy and deploy external content -- such as information centers and libraries; and market/competitive intelligence organizations. Part one of the study which fielded in June 2004, focused on organization, users, staff, services, content management, and strategic management. Part two of the study, which is now available, examines budgets, spending, and vendor evaluation and management. We realize that there may be more than one individual in your department who receives this invitation, and we ask that only one person from each department or buying unit answer the survey to avoid duplicate responses from the same organization. Please be assured that all responses shall remain confidential. The data will be analyzed and presented in aggregated form only. To enter the survey, point your browser to: http://www.digisurvey.com/login.php?u=outsell&p=survey After answering some introductory questions, you may download a PDF version of the questionnaire. The survey must be completed online. The survey will close at midnight Pacific time on Wednesday November 24th, 2004. Thank you for your time and participation.
