<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Researchers from the University of North Texas and East Stroudsburg University would like to know more about the motivations related to the utilization of electronic resource (e.g., research databases, electronic journals, ebooks, etc.)
trials in an academic library setting. We believe that this research could be helpful to librarians and electronic resource vendors in a variety of ways.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have worked in an academic library <u>or</u> in a company that sells electronic resources to academic libraries in the last 5 years, please share your feedback by completing this survey. We hope that librarians and vendor representatives
will respond. All responses will be completely anonymous. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Participation is voluntary and you may stop at any time without penalty. By completing the survey you are giving consent to participate and confirming that you are at least 18 years old.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Completing the survey should take approximately 15 minutes: <a href="https://unt.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_es8h7zLnz1EzY9f" target="_blank">
