This request comes courtesy of Markus’ posting to BlogNOLA. I have taken the survey and should be doing a follow-up interview this month. This can be a very good thing for our folks:
I am a native New Orleanian and currently a librarian at the University of Tennessee. I am researching the impact of information in the lives of Hurricane Katrina survivors. I have created an online survey that should take about 30 minutes to complete and will ask questions about the information you needed, where and how you found it, and how you provided information to others before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina.
Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and you may decide to stop at any time. All responses are anonymous and results will be reported in aggregate form. Submission of the survey constitutes your implied consent to participate.

I will also be conducting in-person and phone interviews on this topic in the New Orleans area August 7 – 21, 2006 about this same topic. If you would like to participate, please contact me or list your e-mail address or phone number at the end of the survey.
