The Continued Communication is a Northumbria University led research project
developing knowledge about the purposes and ways in which people currently
use different forms of communication media and how that becomes linked to
records management issues.  We would be really grateful with help completing
and disseminating a survey which is at the
attached link:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=INqEzhQ1Rk7KRwz36qwiBQ_3d_3d

The results of this survey will be used to inform a communication best
practice
paper and additional papers on communication behaviors of different groups
within society and business.

Please feel free to disseminate the link to as many as your colleagues and
associates as you see fit; the more responseswe get the more information we
are able to feed into our other outputs.

The second part of the survey is an optional personality test (you need not
complete this), which looks at communication traits such as extroversion
etc.
This will help inform us whether personality traits influence communication
choices and also whether different professional roles are chosen by people
with certain personality traits. This takes 10-15 minutes. You may opt to
receive a copy of your personality profile. This will subsequently be
retained
anonymously and then destroyed at the end of the research.

We know that you are busy and appreciate your time - it is possible to log
in
over time and fill in the survey.

If you complete the survey you can opt to have your name entered in a prize
draw for $100 in Amazon vouchers (which can be used from anywhere in the
world).

The reports of the Continued Communication project will be disseminated via
a
website that is being launched in Autumn 2009 at
www.continuedcommunication.org.

The survey closes on the 31 August 2009.

If you do have any queries regarding the survey then please contact the
