Please take survey; Using e-book readers and tablets in high schools and colleges”.

As a student in the M.S. in Information and Digital Resource Management program at Columbia University, my master’s project involves a survey on “Using e-book readers and tablets in high schools and colleges”.

I was hoping that you might be able to send an email or update to your New York state members of the Association of College and Research Libraries to let them know of this voluntary survey. The survey has 10 questions and should take approx. 5 minutes to complete.The survey link is:

Thanks again for your help with my masters research project.

Update: Resource Guide New York Academy of Medicine Library

“The Resource Guide for Public Health Preparedness has a new look and new web address, http://phpreparedness.nlm.nih.gov. It is now a featured resource on the Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC) web site, http://disasterinfo.nlm.nih.gov.

The Resource Guide was first developed by the New York Academy of Medicine Library in 2002 with funding from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) National Information Center on Health Services Research and Health Care Technology (NICHSR). The Guide is now jointly funded by NICHSR and DIMRC. The Guide continues to provide access to no-cost web materials on public health preparedness topics for the public health workforce.

Recently, this database and web site moved to NLM and the content continues to be maintained by the New York Academy of Medicine Library. Previous web addresses will automatically take the user to the new web address. Comments and questions about the Resource Guide may be sent to tehip@teh.nlm.nih.gov .”
