Now is your chance to contribute to international research.  I don’t know how much good the Canadian book token would do anyone in NZ, but the scholars organising the project really want input from New Zealand, so we’ve agreed to help them spread the word.  And who doesn’t like talking about what they’re reading? Please feel free to pass this on via social media or other modes; the more informants, the more accurate the results.

“We are writing to invite you to participate in our latest research project on reading practices. This time around we are looking to get a snapshot of what you are reading, how much you’re reading, how you find out about books to read, and about where you share what you’re reading.

Please help us. The survey will take no longer than 10 minutes to complete, and you’d be helping out a great deal. As a token of our appreciation, you can put your name into a draw for a bookseller gift certificate.

Here is a link to the survey: https://redcap.ualberta.ca/surveys/?s=DEDMAJJETM

Your responses are completely anonymous. At the end of the survey, there’ll be a link to put your name into a draw for a CD$100 (CDN) bookseller gift certificate, but your email address and your survey responses are completely separate from one another.

Thank you very much for taking our survey. Please forward this to your friends and family.

Sincerely,
Danielle Fuller and DeNel Rehberg Sedo”
