I've been working on an extended piece of professional development work, to get me to the next stage of my qualifications as a librarian.
As part of it, I have to put together an extended case study of something to do with ICT and how information's communicated. I'd like that to be SHQ.
I did something like this about five years ago now, but now as a follow-up, I'd like to ask as many of you guys as possible to follow this link and complete the survey there for me.
I know that it may seem a bit long at first glance, but it's really not all that bad. The questions're almost all checkbox-based with optional comments fields, so you can take or as mych or as little time answering and explaining your answer as you like.
Obviously, the more information I have, the more I can do with it, so a bit of explanation would be appreciated. You can just tick the checkboxes if you like and only answer the obligatory textbox questions with as much or as little as you want - the textboxes're scrolling rather than just three lines long, so feel free to be as detailed as you like if you decide to do things that way.
Questions with a star next to them're obligatory. All questions will accept more than one answer.
I know that I seem to be asking some very pointed questions on your opinions on SHQ in places, so I'd like to make couple of things clear at the start:
i. The only people who'll see the entire results will be my examiners and myself.
ii. And this is the most important bit - submissions are completely anonymous. I've deliberately chosen a system that won't require names and will only give me back raw data.
This is going into a serious RL document that's rather important to me, not just me trying to get sneaky opinions from you all on aspects of SHQ.
Even if I was unprofessional enough to hold anything said here against people (which I'm not), I couldn't if I wanted to. If you want to be detailed enough to mention who you are, that's all up to you - otherwise, I won't know who you are and (whilst I can get a better picture with more information) it doesn't really matter in the long run.
And if anyone does feel like going on the record (and having a couple of people I could quote by name would help with the writing), please feel free to e-mail samanfur at gmail dot com, or drop me a PM.
Guys, this is important to me as a person, not just as your Admin. I really need your help on this. Whatever you can do would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
*salute* At'cher service!
By the way, you can straight up quote me in your writing. You'll probably figure out who I am just by my writing alone, (because I usually jump all over the place in a slur sometimes, mostly).
You know, Sam, you could just use my PiE research from a couple years back if you'd like. XD I'll let you put your name on it. ^^
I took the survey. It was kind of long.
Good luck with the... thing...
I hope this topic gets more attention... like, only 11 people have viewed it thus far.
Oh well, 1st post anyways.
EDIT: Damn, 2nd post is good too. >_<
I'm on board. (surveys the survey)
Done and done.
I guess I was a bit more in depth than I normally would be. I was willing to make a rare exception in this case and open up a bit more.
Done and done. And I mean done.
It didn't take that long at all. Done.
I'm sure at least three or eight responses I gave are an extremely obvious hint as to whch result is mine. ^^;
i've filled it in too.. hope it's helpful. ^^;
The deed is done, Sam. Sorry for all the cursing. =3
I'll give it a whirl :O. Always glad to help.
Hhaha That survey was funny Sam. Yeah you can quote me if you wish, as I revealed myself in that damn thing enough times, lol.
Done. Good time killer. 
I filled it out.
I do'od it! Hope it helps.
Survey completored!
I have also completed the survey, glad to help.
Also finished ^^

I'm done.
Guess, being the only person who uses their entire RL name on the entire board, I may aswell kiss any hopes of anonmousity goodbye.
Filled out and my anon. is out the window since I gave myself away several times in the survey. Please keep me anon in the document itself though, I don't care about here.
All done You'll probably guess which was my entry, so do feel free to name & shame if you need to 
DW
Well, count me in too now. I'm the one who occasionally seems like he's got anger issues.
Heh, to be fair, I've always found people on this board to usually have a distinctive style so I reckon SamSam could prolly figure out whose who from the extra comments for a few people anyway. I also doubt anybody round here cares too much ;P
Also, do we get to see any statistcal results or anything from this after your done with it? Could be interesting.
You know, Sam, you could just use my PiE research from a couple years back if you'd like. XD I'll let you put your name on it. ^
I wouldn't mind taking a look at that again, actually - do you think you could dig it up for me? I don't remember enough of the topic specifics to know where to start looking.
Thank you very, VERY much for all of your responses so far, by the way - I haven't actually sat down and taken a look at the data yet, but the sheer number's thrown me on its own.
'Scuse me for using the vernacular, but: you guys rock.
Keep 'em coming!
Okey-dokey, that's me done the survey now. Add one more to your checklist!
Aww, we love you too, Sam.

I just started looking for you and I realized that we don't have the old posts here, anymore. 
As far as the raw data, (which really WASN'T very much, and wouldn't help anymore, either, as all I did was copy and paste instances that males used PiE compared to females, and ran comparisons and percentage differences), I lost that in a hard drive crash 2 years ago, but I could come up with the general idea that I had and what I found off top of my head?
Sorry. And you're welcome, Sam! ^^ Any time.
Should be sleeping now, but what the hey... hope that helps.
Couldn't really get to sleep, so I figured I'd fill this out to help you and to pass the time. I hope it helps.
I just finished mine ^^
Feel free to use my quotes and stuff since I wrote my name in there. Good luck!
I did not write mine in there, but I just had finished it. Good luck with everything Sam!
I filled out the survey and was as specific as I could be. I hope everything works out for you!
Not going to lie. That was pretty dang long. LOL But I was doing nothing anyway, so I was glad to have helped. 
I did it. You might be able to tell it was me, but whatever. Wasn't that long.
Well that was fun
So when can we collect our 50 euros? I assumed some form of stipend for participation would be involved.
... hello? Is this thing on? HELLO!?
You Lie!!!
