I have made another copy of the survey – optimistically named “final”. I have added a question about how long you’ve worked for LIS. Given there aren’t that many of us, a person having worked 5 years in a particular work group isn’t really anonymous, but I think there are some people who just prefer not to have their name attached.
(Also added a comments question near the end and more text to the intro, as proposed by Elin. )
Other question adjustments will be addressed at the meeting, I’m sure!

Capturing name would allow us to trend the survey results to see if there are differences in how certain workgroups, areas, or locations within LIS use the website. This is especially important if you are going to include student workers in your survey analysis, or we will not be able to distinguish the results of someone who’s been in the organization for 20+ years from someone who’s a first year student and part time worker for the last several months.

I think the question is: why do we need to capture who responded? Are we planning to trend the information/feedback? If not I do not see a need to ask people to authenticate into the survey.

Basically that they didn’t know something. We felt that people might hold back on certain questions and or comments. This actually came up with one of the people who tool the survey in my trial run.

Why do the anonymous survey? What in the survey would people feel unforfortable responding to with their name?
