> Dear Colleague:

> The purpose of this message is to request information from you on a topic
> of concern to many in our field: access to information written in
> non-English languages. I am a doctoral student in library and information
> science at Rutgers University working on my dissertation. My doctoral
> committee includes Professors Dan O'Connor (Chair), Carol Kuhlthau, Tefko
> Saracevic, and, from OCLC (Online Computer Library Center), Dr. Lynn
> Silipigni Connaway. My dissertation includes two different methods, an
> experiment and a survey. This request deals with the questionnaire for the
> survey component of my study.
>
> The purpose of my study is to explore non-English information seekers'
> information needs and study their information seeking behavior, especially
> users who use information in non-Roman alphabet languages, such as
> Chinese, Japanese or Korean. It also includes exploring if new features
> are needed to improve cross-language access to bibliographic records in
> Databases and Online Public Access Catalogs for non-English information
> seekers. Additionally, it will attempt to determine the appropriateness of
> the bibliographic record.
>
> In the questionnaire, you will be asked some questions about your
> experiences using information retrieval systems. You will be also asked to
> evaluate bibliographic records which are taken from online databases and
> online library catalogs. There are no correct answers to this
> questionnaire. The answers will merely reflect your assessments of the
> bibliographic records. Completing the questionnaire should take
> approximately 15 to 25 minutes.
>
> The results of this survey will be reported anonymously. The information
> will be kept confidential by limiting individual's access to the research
> data and keeping it in a secure location. The researcher, her advisor, and
> the Institutional Review Board at Rutgers University are the only parties
> that will be allowed to see the data, except as may be required by law. If
> a report of this study is published, or the results are presented at a
> professional conference, only group results will be stated, unless you
> have agreed otherwise.

> Here is the link. You can contribute this link to anyone who might be
