E-Mailed Questionnaire

Today I E-mailed the following Questioner to my client that will help me search for the information they are looking for:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, what would you like me to find information on for you?

Additionally, could you provide answers to the following questions that will help me in my searching...

Questions About Subject Area:

1.) What kind of information are you looking for? Research Studies,
Reviews, Articles, Statistics, Interviews, etc?

2.) What subject/s does this information request fall under? (ex.
biology, business, psychological)

Questions About User:

1.) How soon do you need the information by? (on or before May 4th?)

2.) If you have conducted any preliminary searches already, what

kinds of searches were they and what did you find?

3.) If you have searched, what terms did you use?

4.) Do you know any prominent researchers/authors in this field or

any specific journals or periodicals you would want to use?

5.) How will you be using the information?

Questions About Sources:

1.) Do you prefer databases over a web search engine? Vice versa? Or
doesn’t matter?

2.) How recent do you want the information to be? Restrictions on
publication year of sources?

3.) How much material do you need- a large amount of material, a few

good articles? Can you give a specific number range? (large and a few
depends on the individual, a range, like between 5-10 or 20-25 is more
defined and lets me know what is expected in return)

4.) Do you want only scholarly articles or can you also make use of
popular articles?

5.) Do you want me to provide you with only the citations, citation

and abstracts, or the full articles?

5.) What format do you want articles and citations?
