Hi All IMPORTANT: please DO NOT REPLY to the list address:-) It is now four years since we started the disability-research discussion list and I am currently reviewing its membership and activity. It would be very helpful if everyone could spend a few minutes to complete a quick survey form and return it to me, so that I can build up a better picture of how we are doing. Next year, I will summarise the findings and feed these back to the list. There are now more than 500 list members worldwide so I would like to automate the review process as much as possible. Please answer all the questions and then follow the instructions carefully. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% DISABILITY-RESEARCH LIST MEMBERSHIP SURVEY 1998 Please add your answers on the line immediately beneath each question then follow the instructions at the end of the message. QUESTIONS ABOUT YOU Which country do you normally live or work in? What is your first language? Are you male or female? How would you describe your ethnic origin? Do you consider yourself to be disabled? Do you work in a research organisation? (e.g. a university) Are you involved in doing disability research yourself? QUESTIONS ABOUT INTERNET ACCESS How do you messages on your computer? (e.g. standard text, screen enlarger, speech synthesis, Braille output, etc.) Do you have internet access at home? Do you have internet access at work? Do you pay for your own internet access? Where do you usually read the messages from this list? (e.g. at home, at work, library, cyber cafe, etc.) QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR LIST MEMBERSHIP Do you subscribe as an individual or as an organisation? Do you currently receive messages from the list? Have you ever sent a message to the list? Did you get a reply? Have you ever visited the list web site? Have you ever searched the list archives? THREE MORE QUESTIONS Have you ever met anyone from another country as a direct result of correspondence on this list? Please describe any specific outcomes or benefits resulting from your list membership (this helps us to argue the case for continued Mailbase funding). Is there anything we could do to improve the list service? %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% IMPORTANT: Please use the reply option to return this form to [log in to unmask] (i.e. NOT the list address!). It is important that you do not change the subject line or anything else in your reply. If you have any other questions about this survey then please direct them to me and NOT to the list. Thanks for your time.
