Just a general note on feedback forms, which seem to be proliferating, that it may be more helpful for the service provider but is less helpful to the customer. I always prefer email exchanges, over telephone or feedback form, as I then have a record of the action I have taken, and the responses received, on a particular problem. I deal with many different publishers and service providers, on a wide variety of problems, relating to a huge number of journals......
Thanks

Subject: Re: [lis-e-resources] Highwire Help?
List readers:
The best way for librarians to get in touch with HighWire is to fill out
a feedback form online. The details of your query, your specific
computer's IP address and the exact page where you were coming from,
will all be included in the message, which is helpful to our technical
support staff in diagnosing any problems. We wouldn't be able to operate
as effectively with a first response via telephone.
Matthew, we appreciate your comments. However, our records indicate that
HighWire has always replied to you within the same, or next business day
of receipt of your messages. Our customer service staff have helped you
out on a variety of issues over the years, including a rather detailed
email exchange just three weeks ago.
It might help to know that HighWire does not automatically serve as
first responder for every publication we host. Many publishers prefer to
handle their own customer service feedback.
We welcome any ideas or suggestions librarians may have about how
HighWire can improve our communications.
Best regards,
Bonnie Zavon
