[IFLA-LPD] Reminder: kind request to help KB's research on numbers of users (how to increase them)

Dear all,

Many thanks to those of you who have already responded! (You do not have to read this mail again)

 

Please consider to answer the 6 questions below. Your answers may contain valuable information on how to reach this the 50+ group among persons with print disablities.

The window for sending in your reply has been extended. There are still two more days to go before the deadline of the research: 21st of November.

 

Kind regards,

 

Koen Krikhaar

Member of IFLA section LPD

Libraries Serving Persons with Print Disabilities

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

Dear Madame /Sir,

 

We would like to inform you that currently five students of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam (Netherlands) are carrying out a research on behalf of the Royal Dutch Library (KB).

The KB is, among many other things,  responsible for the local libraries and their services for the print disabled.

The Dutch national office called Library service for Accessible Reading is the national front office that provides direct services to the print disabled and supports local libraries for doing the same.

In spite of intensive recent campaigning the number of people using adapted reading services falls behind the expectations made on the basis of statistics on the occurrence of visual impairment especially among the elderly (above 50 year of age)

 

The main objective of our research is to investigate how we, as  organizations in the Netherlands, can increase our reach amongst the group of visually impaired in the age category of 50+.

 

As a part of their research, these five  students would like to find out more about the way other countries are currently offering similar kind of services and how they reach their target groups.

We kindly ask for your support and input into this research, by answering the six simple questions below.

 

The kind request is to return the answers to marg.vanderburgh@kb.nl. and reply preferable before the 21st   of November.

 

The questions are:

 

•        What is the main goal of your organization? (just 1 or 2 lines)

•        Could you inform us if you have any specific target groups for which your organization has a separate strategy in order to reach these group(s)? And subsequently what is your reach among those groups?

•        Can you inform us what kind of service your organization is providing to visually impaired?

•        Do you deliver the services directly to the needed or are you using any partners, intermediate organization, etc.?

•        We were wondering if your organization is (partly) funded by third parties, i.e. such as charity or (local) governments.

•        Do you have any supporting documents, which might be interesting for us to study in light of the afore-mentioned?

 

We would like to thank you in advance for your time and effort in answering these questions.

 

We think you will find the results of our research very interesting. If you are curious about that, we will send you a summary at the end of the research. You can send an e-mail at marg.vanderburgh@kb.nl for having the summary in February 2016.

 

 

With gratitude and our sincerest regards,

Marg van der Burgh

ASSISTANT OR ASSOCIATE LIBRARIAN

Founded in 1820, Indiana University Bloomington has grown from a small state seminary into the flagship campus of a great public university with over 42,000 students and almost 3,000 faculty. Innovation, creativity, and academic freedom are hallmarks of IU Bloomington and its world-class contributions in research and the arts. The campus covers over 1,800 wooded acres and is distinctive for both its park-like beauty and an architectural heritage inspired by local craftsmanship in limestone.

 

The Indiana University Bloomington Libraries (http://www.libraries.iub.edu) are among the leading academic research library systems in North America. The IUB Libraries provide strong collections, quality service and instructional programs, and leadership in the application of information technologies. The collections support every academic discipline on campus and include more than 6.6 million books, journals, maps, films, and audio/visual materials in over 900 languages. Users can access more than 400 databases, 43,000 electronic journals, and 224,000 electronic books, as well as locally developed digital content.  Of particular note are the 8-million volume high-density Auxiliary Library Facility (ALF) for preservation and access to the libraries’ collections and archives, and the Lilly Library, the rare books, manuscripts, and special collections library of the Indiana University Libraries, Bloomington.

 

The IUB Libraries are active members of regional and national associations and consortia including the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the Digital Library Federation (DLF), the Hydra community, and is a founding member of HathiTrust, a shared digital repository.

Beyond traditional subject relationships, this position, like all others in the Reference Services Department, will serve as a cross-disciplinary liaison to faculty and students across the campus who focus on digital scholarship broadly. With a strong public services focus and dedication to the fast-changing digital research milieu, the Scholarly Services Librarian will connect users with the Scholars’ Commons while working to foster a space and community for scholars to come together and share resources and ideas.

[IFLA-LPD] kind request to help KB's research on numbers of users (how to increase them)

Dear IFLA LPD members,

Please consider replying to the request below.

Your input is much appreciated and we truly believe it will help us to improve our services and the number of people we may reach.

Kind regards,

Koen Krikhaar

Dedicon,

Member of LPD

 

Dear Madame /Sir,

 

We would like to inform you that currently five students of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam (Netherlands) are carrying out a research on behalf of the Royal Dutch Library (KB) and the Front Office for Adapted Reading.

The KB is, among many other things,  responsible for the local libraries and their services for the print disabled. The Dutch national office called Library service for Adapted Reading is the national front office that provides direct services to the print disabled and supports local libraries for doing the same.

In spite of intensive recent campaigning the number of people using adapted reading services falls behind the expectations made on the basis of statistics on the occurrence of visual impairment especially among the elderly (above 50)

 

The main objective of our research is to investigate how we, as an organizations in the Netherlands, can increase our reach amongst the group of visually impaired in the age category of 50+.

 

As a part of their research, these five  students would like to find out more about the way other countries are currently offering similar kind of services and how they reach their target groups.

We kindly ask for your support and input into this research, by answering the six simple questions below.

 

The kind request is to return the answers to marg.vanderburg@kb.nl. and reply preferable before the 18th  of November.

 

The questions are:

 

•        What is the main goal of your organization? (just 1 or 2 lines)

•        Could you inform us if you have any specific target groups for which your organization has a separate strategy in order to reach these group(s)? And subsequently what is your reach among those groups?

•        Can you inform us what kind of service your organization is providing to visually impaired?

•        Do you deliver the services directly to the needed or are you using any partners, intermediate organization, etc.?

•        We were wondering if your organization is (partly) funded by third parties, i.e. such as charity or (local) governments.

•        Do you have any supporting documents, which might be interesting for us to study in light of the afore-mentioned?

 

We would like to thank you in advance for your time and effort in answering these questions.

 

We think you will find the results of our research very interesting. If you are curious about that, we will send you a summary at the end of the research. You can send an e-mail at marg.vanderburgh@kb.nl for having the summary in February 2016.

 

 

With gratitude and our sincerest regards,

Marg van der Burgh
