Library eBook Survey

Dear member of the University of Winnipeg academic community,

The Library staff would like to invite you to fill out a brief survey on your use of, and attitudes toward, eBooks. Your participation will help us in deciding whether to purchase eBooks, and if so, in which formats and subject areas. As a way of thanking you for your time, the names of eight participants will be randomly selected to receive an exciting prize!

Thanks for your participation.

The Library staff

Update: The eBook survey is now closed. The Library would like to thank all participants for their feedback, which will be invaluable in guiding decisions on future eBook purchases. Winners of the prize draw will be contacted shortly.
