Given the recent twitter activity at the LILAC conference I thought
members of the list might be interested in contributing to the research

Dear colleagues,
A few weeks ago I posted about my research interest in the emerging literacy
practice of sending tweets in academic conferences.
I'd like to follow this up and I wonder if you'd be happy to complete an online
questionnaire on academic Twitter practices? There are 15 questions and it
should only take 10-15 minutes.

The questionnaire is designed for colleagues who use Twitter - if only to read
others' tweets - as part of their conference participation. It struck me today
though that this marginalises the 'voices' of those who participate in
conference but are not Twitter users. If you fall into this camp would you be
happy to answer - via email - a few questions?
I'm going for a (non-probablistic) random snowball sample so please forward
widely if you’re willing to get involved!
My email is: [log in to unmask] and Twitter username is anthonymcneill
Many thanks in advance
