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?
A1
Q2 What is the nature of the organisation to which you
telecommute?
A2
Q3 What are the particular information needs that you have as a
telecommuter?
A3
Q4 What basic information services do you consider should be
provided by an organisation for its telecommuters? (see Q5 for
additional and desirable services)
A4
Q5 What additional information services would you perceive as being
highly desirable for an organisation to provide for its
telecommuters?
A5
Q6 Are there any further comments you wish to make regarding the
information needs of telecommuters?
A6
Q7 Would you like a summary of the results of this survey E-mailed
to you?
A7
Respondents can be assured that individuals and organisations will not
be identified in any report or summary of this survey.
