Please Take This Survey

One of my colleagues is working on a Ph.D. dissertation and she is interested in knowing how people perceive encyclopedia articles. She has sent me a survey that she would like to use as part of her research. She said that is should take about ten minutes to complete.

Thanks for participating in this survey. Please email me after finishing the survey to let me know you have done it.
