----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hi, At Macquarie University Library we are planning to survey users and to conduct some focus group meetings with selected users to ascertain details of present usage (apart from the basic statistics one can collect), satifaction and expectations, both of the collection as it now exists and as it may exist in the future. Issues relating to map production in Australia (particularly New South Wales), demand and likely use of digitised data, existing and anticipated types of staff and student usage of maps in teaching and study, and the administrative/structural relationship between the Library, which houses the collection and the teaching Schools will be covered in the survey questionaire and the focus group research. Have any members done this already? I would be interested in seeing similar questionaires if they have been done and hearing of the results of any focus group research on map usage etc, particularly in university libraries or teaching facilities. The collection is primarily a teaching collection.
