Hi folks - I'm hoping to recruit some of you as volunteers to help me with a survey for a project I'm working on. I'm working on developing an information literacy programme at the library - basically I'm trying to develop a series of programmes and resources that will help to teach effective research strategies using the internet and the library's onlne databases. I'm trying to gather some information from teens about their research needs and current skills and I'm currently working on preparing a brief survey to try to address some these issues.
So, first of all, I'm going to post the survey on the TRAP blog and anyone who fills it out can get 1 hour of volunteer time (it shouldn't take you any more than ten minutes to fill out so it's a great deal - available only to TRAP volunteers!)
Also, would any of you be willing to help distribute the surveys to other teens - doesn't have to be anything formal, nor do I need a huge sample, but if you have any friends or siblings in high school that wouldn't mind answering a few questions, I would really appreciate your help in getting their input. There will be copies available at the Angus Glen branch, or if you prefer, I can email you the survey (but then you'd have to either print them out or forward the email and have your friends email me their responses). Again, I can give you volunteer credit for your effort, plus my great appreciation - let's say that I'll give you 1 hour credit for every 5 surveys you get for me. I'll post the survey soon, but if you're interesting in distributing them, just respond to this email in the comments.
Thanks, Andrea.
