 Subject: MASSMAIL - Survey--Library Resources & Funded Research

Hello.  

I'm Paula Kaufman, University Librarian and Dean of Libraries.  We'd
like to understand how library collections are used in securing grants 
that bring research funding to the University. I hope you'll help us by 
taking a brief survey which will take 10-15 minutes to complete.   

Elsevier has funded this research to determine the return on investment
(ROI) for the UIUC Library. This survey is a primary component in 
developing a model that can be shared with other libraries. In 
appreciation each survey participant is offered a $5 Espresso Royale gift 
card.  

Full confidentiality of your answers is guaranteed, and further 
information concerning consent is found at the beginning of the survey. 
If you have any questions about the survey or any difficulty in 
completing it please contact our survey coordinator, Beth Sandore at 
(sandore@uiuc.edu) or the project consultant, Judy Luther of Informed
Strategies at(judy.luther@informedstrategies.com ).   

Please visit the survey as soon as convenient.  The survey is found at 
www.surveymonkey.com/ROILibrarySurvey and will be available until Friday 
September 21, 2007. 

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to this study. 

Sincerely,

 
Paula T. Kaufman
University Librarian and Dean of Libraries
University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
