Currently, the CDL releases a weekly announcement via this CDLALERT-L
listserv reporting changes to the Directory of CDL-Licensed Content
("Directory"), including the addition and deletion of database and
e-journal resources.

With the retirement of the Directory (scheduled for October 31, 2005),
the CDL is considering eliminating this weekly report of changes.

Before we make that decision, however, we'd like to know if and how you
currently use the weekly announcements. Your input is essential to
informing whether this type of reporting should be continued in some
form after the retirement of the Directory, and if so, what form those
reports should take.

Below you will find a link to a ten-question survey that will take less
than five minutes to complete.

        http://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/2734/cdlalert_usage.htm


Please complete this survey before end of day, Friday, May 13, 2005.


(Note: This survey regarding the usage of CDLALERT-L announcements
should not be confused with the user survey currently posted on all
pages of the Directory.  We encourage you to take both surveys.)


Thanks in advance!
