Dear MAPS,

    Abby Goodrum and I are on the faculty at SyracuseUniversity's School
of Information Studies. We are engaged in a project designed to build
collaborative, digital museum and library reference services. The
project team is currently developing and evaluating processes that
enable museums and libraries to work together in providing reference
assistance over the web to support patrons' image information needs.

    We would like to invite members of your listserv to participate, and
wonder if you would be kind enough to post this message inviting
listserv members to answer a survey to collect baseline data about
visual resource librarians and museums digital reference practices.

    If you agree, please post to your listserv this message with the
following URL (http://quartz.syr.edu/dii and select "Survey"), and let
me know accordingly.

    Please contact Carol Chau, doctoral student, at [log in to unmask]

Best regards, and many thanks,
