Dear All **Apologies for cross posting** I am conducting a masters research project which involves development of a framework for creating search strategies of educationally focussed websites. To gain a user perspective, I have written a short online survey on user preferences for search systems. It would greatly assist me if you and your colleagues could complete this questionnaire. It consists of 9 short questions and it should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete (honestly!). The survey is completely anonymous and no personal information is asked for or retained. Responses to this survey will be used only for the purpose of my dissertation. If you are interested in the results of the survey please leave your email on the site and I will send you a copy. Email addresses will only be used to send you a copy of the results. The survey can be accessed at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=j3VHgpE20o_2fxgTDb5MXK0Q_3d_3d Please feel free forward this email to others working in the education sector, who may complete the survey. Thanking you in anticipation.
