Questionnaire for information providers
We are planning to set up a resource centre, and we are currently assessing the
information needs of people who will use it. As part of this needs assessment,
we are carrying out a survey of other organisations that provide information.
Your answers to this questionnaire will help us to ensure that the new resource
centre will not duplicate existing services.
We would be very grateful if you could complete this questionnaire and return
it by [add date] to: [add your name and address].
