Surveys
These are the baseline instruments used early in the
Teagle
Project. Two surveys were developed, each asking how special collections
are used in undergraduate teaching: one that librarians were asked to
fill out and a second that faculty were asked to fill out. The survey
results are presented in the attached documents.
These draft surveys were developed
by the AX-SNet working group as instruments that can probe faculty interest in and
use of special collections in teaching. The first survey is for faculty who have
never used special collections and will help librarians better to understand the
potential faculty to target and uses that can be made. The second is for those who
have taught or do teach with special collections. The second survey is particularly
comprehensive and represents a work in progress, which may be edited down to a more
"friendly" size. The working group wanted to demonstrate the full range of possible
questions, and thus included most questions arising from the concepts that were
discussed in the August 2006 small group meeting.

at Yale, including discussion of the AX-SNet project.
