E-Books on Steroids Panel
Results of the Quantitative Portion of the Survey
Sara Tompkins
Since this joint session with SciTech was SO well attended – standing room only – I thought PAM members might be interested in the quantitative analysis of the surveys turned in after the session. If you are interested in the Qualitative results, let me know. Also, Mitchell Brown will be writing up a report on the event, as will a member of SciTech. Plus, see blog coverage of the panel at:
