Godfrey Oswald writes \"
To coincide with the forthcoming release of \"The Library Factfinder\" (a
\"Guinness Book of World Records\" that is only about libraries, books and
databases) opinions are being sought for an annual survey on the \"Info
Connect LIS Directory\"

The results of the survey will enable me to carry out major changes to the
\"Info connect LIS Directory 2002\" in time for the 2003 edition.

Please could you spare 2 minutes to fill in an
online questionnaire.
