Dear fellow AoIR Members, - Have you thought about using social media to disseminate and promote your research? - Do you incorporate social media/networking sites in your research-related activities? - Have social media and networking sites in anyway changed the way you approach your research/work? If you answer 'yes' to any of these questions, we would like to invite you to participate in a short confidential online survey (~20-25 minutes) being conducted by the Social Media Lab at Dalhousie University in Canada. This survey is part of a study to get a better understanding of _how_ _ _researchers and scholars like yourself are using social media (_if at all_) to collaborate and disseminate information about their research. As a way to thank you for your participation in the survey, you will be automatically enrolled to win an ***APPLE iPad*** upon the completion of the online survey. The random drawing will take place on January 25, 2011 and the winner will be notified via email. You can access the survey at the link below: http://iresearch.management.dal.ca/limesurvey/index.php?sid=65646 If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Anatoliy Gruzd at gruzd@dal.ca.
