Evaluating e-books nationwide - follow-up survey

In January 2008 the University took part in a national survey about the use and understanding of e-books. We have now been asked to participate in a follow-up survey, the purpose of which is to gauge whether attitudes and behaviour towards e-books have changed over that period.

To take the survey, please visit http://tinyurl.com/9gt936.

The survey should take about 10-12 minutes to complete.

You are under no obligation whatsoever to take part in the survey. Any information you give will be held securely and under no circumstances will any findings be revealed other than at a highly aggregated level. Data is being collected through a third-party, Survey Monkey, and you can check their privacy policy here:
