I'm also curious about this survey. I was wondering why the actual techniques (waterfall, agile, etc.) aren't mentioned in the survey -- although maybe folks don't really know about them? Additionally, I would be interested in the results, unfortunately I won't be attending the conferences you mentioned. Is it possible to get a report back to the list once the survey ends (even just the graphs from survey monkey would be useful) On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 1:22 PM, Kari R Smith <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Are you / can you account for different responses from Libraries?
