[e.g. more visitors, sales, enhanced research ability, critical connections with professional colleagues, etc.] B How would having your net-access "cut-off" affect you or your institution? C How much has/does your institution spend on "service providers", Web page development and maintenance, and how do you justify it? ****************** invest in our future - e-mail your thoughts and data to: [log in to unmask] Please include in your Subject: INTERNET SURVEY * OR FOLLOW THE ALTER-NET-MUSE TO OUR SURVEY SITE * & answer a part or all of our survey on-line @: http://www.MuseumsAssn.bc.ca/~bcma/survey.html THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY, AND OUR CONCLUSIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY AUTOMATED E.MAIL AND ON OUR WEB PAGE IN EARLY APRIL THANK-YOU & A PLEA(SE) 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 _____________________________________________________ Cliff Quinn Dogwood Network Coordinator BC Museums Association [log in to unmask] (604) 387-3971 (604) 387-3315
