<div>Dear colleagues,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The MIT Publishing Services Bureau is pleased to offer two
related seminars on surveys, a topic we've found is of increasing
interest to MIT communications staff. Please forward this invitation
to MIT colleagues who may be interested.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The first offering is an audio/web seminar on October 24,
presented by Academic Impressions. It will cover best practices in
survey design, address questions about distribution, and offer tips
about response management and tracking. Attendees would join us in the
conference room we've reserved to access the audio/web
connection.<x-tab> </x-tab></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The second seminar, on November 8, will feature a presentation by
staff from MIT's Institutional Research Office and Information
Services & Technology on planning and developing effective surveys
within the MIT context. It will also cover the types of survey data
and resources available for use by the MIT community, survey methods,
the best times to survey, analyzing response rates, and working with
outside survey vendors. Staff from the Alumni Association and
Libraries will discuss their recent surveys and share how they've used
the results to help shape their communications efforts.</div>
