Survey Design and Analysis Team

Cindy Boeke, research analyst/contractor to the Library of Congress, and Karen Walfall, Library of Congress Leadership Development fellow, designed, conducted, and analyzed the surveys and their results. FLICC/FEDLINK Executive Director Roberta Shaffer and FEDLINK Network Operations Coordinator Lynn McDonald redesigned the surveys through their numerous iterations.

A team of graduate students from the University of Maryland’s Master’s of Information Management (MIM) program and the University of Michigan’s Master's of Science of Information (MSI) program also wrote and/or edited sections of the survey analysis. The graduate students are Michiko Chand, Allen DeRidder, Farah Faisal, Trent Rockwood, and Asiya Sarbasova.
