[Connotea-discuss] Request for participation in research survey

[Mulvany, I. <i.m...@na...>]

Markus Heckner from the university of Regensburg contacted me looking for
volunteers to participate in a survey on the use of social bookmarking
systems. They are looking for people who have at least 20 papers tagged in
their Connotea library, if you are interested in helping out then head on
over to http://pc51010.uni-r.de/limesurvey/index.php?sid=63888&lang=en. The
full call for participation is below.

Participants needed for Social Web research project

The number of social tagging systems like Connotea is increasing and the
systems are enjoying rising popularity. However, communication patterns
within these systems are not yet fully understood and are beginning to
attract attention from researchers.

The Media Computing Department and the Media Educational Science department
of the University of Regensburg (Germany) are conducting an
interdisciplinary research study of social tagging system usage. We are
looking for participants who are willing to spare the time to fill out a
short online survey and answer several questions about how they use
Connotea.

Unfortunately we cannot offer any compensation. However, filling out the
survey should not take much longer than 5 minutes and would greatly help us
gain a better understanding of social tagging systems.

Requirements:
The only requirement for participants is that they have at least 20 papers
in their Connotea bibliography.

If you are interested, please help us by filling out the following online
survey:
http://pc51010.uni-r.de/limesurvey/index.php?sid=63888&lang=en
(To start the survey simply follow the link above and click the ³Next²
button).

We are aiming to share our results with the community by posting a link to
our work in this Connotea Blog as soon as we have finished and published our
paper.

Thank you very much for your participation!
