Messages from the 2003 ASIS&T Membership Survey

摘要

For the past several years, the ASIS&T Board of Directors has recognized the need for a more detailed profile of the information professionals who belong to the Society, as well as a better understanding of their needs for professional development and their expectations of ASIS&T products and services in serving these needs. Other than the data collected at the time of a member's joining or renewing, information about members' preferences, opinions and needs has not been collected in a formal way since 1992 (Schwartz, 1994). Before that, no data had been collected since the 1979 membership survey that was reported by King et al. (1980).
