[Editors] Communications Workshops invitation, 10/24 & 11/8

List, Administrative and Financial Officers

Dear colleagues,

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.

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.

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.
