Request for Participation in a Short Online Survey over Historical Research Methods and Social Media
The editor of the History of Science Society’s Isis Current Bibliography, Stephen Weldon, is conducting a short survey about how students and professionals in history of science and related fields use reference tools and social media in their research.
The purpose of this questionnaire
is to help Weldon’s research team design a new set of discovery and networking
tools for research in the history of science. He is working with a group of
scholars, librarians, and technical experts on this project, exploring new
possibilities for research tools in the current digital environment.
Participation in this survey by
anyone whose research may include the history of science, technology, and
medicine, whether or not they use the Isis Bibliography, will help provide data
on current research practices that will assist in the creation of a new
research tool.
You can access the questionnaire

The survey will be accessible
until Friday, March 15. It should take you only about 10 minutes. Your
participation will be greatly appreciated.
