Solutions in UK HIGHER EDUCATION - please forward as appropriate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I am conducting a survey as part of some research I am undertaking for
the dissertation of an MSc in Information & Library Management at the
University of Central England in Birmingham.
For my research I am evaluating the current and proposed access
management systems for electronic resources in UK Higher Education. In
essence, this means the study of Eduserv Athens (in both the 'classic'
and 'devolved' forms) and alternatives based on Shibboleth.
As an Athens Administrator (and a Shibboleth project manager) myself I
do appreciate how busy you are so I will be very grateful for any
information you can provide to assist me in this endeavour. To take part
in the survey (which takes about 10 minutes to complete) please select
the following link:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=852182451089
For encouragement there is a draw (optional), in which respondents are
invited to take part, for a £20 Amazon.co.uk gift certificate.
Any survey submissions will be used anonymously in my research, without
any disclosure of the individual or institution.
This survey will close at 9 pm on Friday 25th August.
Many thanks, in advance, for your help.
