SUBJECT:

UCSD Times Readership Survey

As the UCSD Times enters its 15th year of publication, we
wish to assess how well it is meeting the communications
needs of our campus community. As part of this effort, a
readership survey will be distributed with the June 14, 1999
issue of the UCSD Times; an electronic version of the survey
is available at http://www-er.ucsd.edu/ucomm/survey.htm.

The survey will take no more than a few minutes to complete
but your responses are vital to the success of this assessment
process. The questionnaires will be tabulated and analyzed by
an independent team and recommendations will be incorporated
into the Fall 1999 edition of the Times. Reader responses and
identities will be kept confidential; answers will be used in
aggregate, to develop a composite picture of the expectations
and needs of the UCSD Times readership.

Our goal is to insure that the UCSD Times is a useful,
informative and interesting publication. We greatly appreciate
your assistance in steering us in that direction.
