520 |a Information on why readership surveys are valuable and on how to conduct them is presented, along with sample surveys used at a number of different institutions, and a questionnaire used by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education to measure the opinion of "CASE CURRENTS," readers. Guidelines for doing a mail survey outline the steps involved in the process, which include: deciding whether a survey will solve the problems being addressed; deciding on groups to be surveyed and the size of the sample; constructing the questionnaire; pretesting the questionnaire; mailing the questionnaire; mailing the reminder card; mailing the questionnaire a second time to nonresponders or the entire sample; tabulating and analyzing the results; and applying what is learned from the survey. An article by Richard D. Haines on why the alumni editor needs surveys considers what surveys show and how to proceed. A second article by Cletis Pride provides additional insights about the process of surveying readers, and also suggests that an interview survey may be a valuable source of information. The sample questionnaire from universities and colleges represent: Rice University, Marietta College, Kansas State University, the University of Maryland, Gallaudet College, Michigan State University, and Baylor University.
