On  behalf of the Association for Information Systems I'd like to invite current members and non-members alike to participate in a short (five minute) survey about our e-Library.  One of the major platforms of AIS strategy over the last two years has been the introduction of a new and improved eLibrary which serves as a powerful repository of renowned journals and conference proceedings to our members and subscribers and, for the first time, one-time users through our pay-per view service.
