<div>Greetings,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We are conducting a survey to discover how institutional repositories (IRs) have changed in recent years. New paradigms in scholarly communication and a greater emphasis on research data re-use are changing the roles of repository managers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The survey will take approximately 15 minutes of your time and you can begin by clicking on this link: <a href="https://portlandstate.qualtrics.com//SE/?SID=SV_dbcdogoLeWYvXHD"><font color="blue"><u>https://portlandstate.qualtrics.com//SE/?SID=SV_dbcdogoLeWYvXHD</u></font></a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>All responses will be confidential and we will be sharing the aggregate survey results at the joint Oregon/Washington Library Association conference in April. A summary of survey results will also be posted online at Northwest Central (<a href="http://www.nwcentral.org/"><font color="blue"><u>http://www.nwcentral.org/</u></font></a>).
We are targeting repository managers in Oregon and Washington, but everyone is welcome to take the survey. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
