<br>Dear all,<br><br>TBI are conducting an online survey on behalf of InTech - an Open<br>Access publisher - to gather information on the current and potential<br>future impact of Open Access on the role of the librarian and the<br>
services you provide.<br><br>Help us evaluate and share how the library community is responding to<br>this evolving business model by completing a short online<br>questionnaire at: <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/librarian_OA_survey" target="_blank">https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/librarian_OA_survey</a>.<br>
The anonymous results will be made freely available, to help inform<br>the ongoing development of library services.<br><br>We would also like to hear from any individuals who can spare 20<br>minutes for a brief telephone interview, to share the early results of<br>
this survey and explore some of the issues in more detail. If you<br>would like to contribute your views, please contact:<br><a href="mailto:jennie.johnson@tbicommunications.com" target="_blank">jennie.johnson@tbicommunications.com</a><br>
