Technical Notes
NLM Gateway Survey
On January 9, 2007, the National Library of Medicine® (NLM®) will begin inviting users of the NLM Gateway to take an online survey. The three-question survey is the first step in improving the search experience for NLM Gateway users. The survey asks users to define the type of information they are seeking, to describe their role in using the Web site, and how they arrived at the NLM Gateway Web site. It attempts to develop a profile of the typical NLM Gateway user (or user groups) to understand their requirements. This information will allow the site development team to better understand and meet the requirements and expectations of the various user groups.
The survey will be available to all users via a clickable link on the NLM Gateway homepage. A pop-up window will also appear randomly to users of the Web site inviting them to take the brief survey. No personally identifiable information will be collected during the survey and responses are confidential.
