-
- I am undertaking postgraduate study at the School of Library and
- Information Management, University of South Australia, Adelaide, on
- the particular information needs of telecommuters - those who perform
- job-related work at a site away from an organisation and communicate
- electronically rather than commuting physically.
-
- I would be very interested in, and would greatly appreciate a response
- from those who are telecommuters, to the following questions. If you
- are not a telecommuter but know of others who are it would be
- appreciated if you could pass this on to them:
-
-
- Q1 Does the organisation to which you telecommute provide any
- library and information services which are accessible to you
- online? (eg catalogs, reference assistance, databases, literature
- searches, document delivery services, organisation information
- such as daily bulletins and administrative gazettes.)
-
- If yes:
-
- (a) What services are provided?
- (b) How useful are these services to you?
-
- Q2 (a) What is the nature of the organisation to which you
- telecommute?
-
- (b) If you sometimes commute physically to your organisation,
- how frequently do you do this?
-
- Q3 What are the particular information needs that you have as a
- telecommuter?
-
- Q4 What basic information services do you consider should be
- provided by an organisation for its telecommuters? (see Q5 for
- additional and desirable services)
-
- Q5 What additional information services would you perceive as being
- highly desirable for an organisation to provide for its
- telecommuters?
-
- Q6 Are there any further comments you wish to make regarding the
- information needs of telecommuters?
-
- Q7 Would you like a summary of the results of this survey E-mailed
- to you?
-
- Respondents can be assured that individuals and organisations will not
- be identified in any report or summary of this survey.
