Here are 3 sample survey templates of different lengths to be used "as is" or adapted to your organization's specific research needs.

Before using the templates, it is important to read them carefully to ensure that all of the questions pertain to your library and to your information needs. Each template is formatted as a Microsoft Word document in order that you may delete, add, or modify questions as necessary. Each of these survey templates is intended to be very general to offer the richest opportunity for follow-up.
