Survey Monkey-ing the Northside

I did ask for and receive responses to recent posts (thanks guys, that was a great assignment and gets us more united as an online community), open my blog to comments from anyone, comment on others' blogs and even did the online suggestion box (see above post). But it seems a bit of a Week-Four-cheat to piggy-back on someone else's efforts; in this case the Northside Planning Council which has conveniently set up a Northside Consumer Questionnaire in Survey Monkey. We at Lakeview have been collecting the paper copies hand over fist for the last couple of weeks, but any missed Northsiders out there can also take it online through October 29th. All you Project Players out there can check out a real world example.

As to the part of the assignment that asks for us to comment on how we could use feedback thingies for our library, my first thought is that I would solicit opinions both by posting online and by using the neighborhood paper (done by the Northside Planning Council), The Northside News. The whole neighborhood receives it in the mail and it is very widely read. The Northside Consumer questionnaire hit all 'venues': with a copy in the current Northside News, copies available in the Library and at the Northside Farmer's Market, and, as mentioned, online. They did a really good job.
As to what I would ask in a feedback thingie, the suggestion the Project Players made to solicit programming ideas struck a chord. This is fun!
