NARIC's Needs Assessment Survey.

Over 30 years, NARIC has developed a comprehensive collection of disability and rehabilitation literature. We began collecting documents in digital format beginning in 2003. In 2006, we introduced the NARIC Digital Collection, a relatively small archive of original research documents made available to the public through the REHABDATA database, which has grown to more than 1,500 documents. We are looking to develop this digital collection significantly: in addition to electronic acquisitions, we plan to archive more than 50 years of original research. We need your help to design a digital collection that will be substantive, accessible, and useful to our patrons. Please take a moment to answer these few questions. To thank you, we’re offering one free document request (up to $5). Your input will be immensely helpful to our efforts!
