November 2008
This survey was conducted by the Toronto Health Libraries Association executive in the fall of 2008 to solicit members' opinions and preferences about continuing education events, networking events and communication methods. The questionnaire was sent, with one followup reminder, to all 2008-2009 members and members not yet renewed from the previous year 2007-2008, via a link to Survey Monkey. One lucky winner, Lily Mac, was drawn to receive a $100 gift certificate at Best Buy.
