[78-L] 48-Hour Extension for Sound Recording Collections Survey

[William Vanden Dries]

My sincere apologies for any inconvenience my post(s) caused.  I didn't
intend to add clutter to the list, nor did I intend to post in the spirit
of self-promotion.  For both the collections directory project on which I'm
working and my graduate degree program, I am very interested in the ways
members of this group organize, develop, and work with their collections of
78-rpm records.  I admit that a post about surveys is not very interesting
to follow, but I hope I was not wrong about its applicability considering
the surveys' subject matter.

My original announcement about the surveys on 78-L, as well as several
other email discussion lists, was two weeks ago.  I know how easy it is add
a survey to a to-do list and then let two weeks go by before it's too late.
 My post today was just a reminder, so anyone with the intention to take
the surveys knew the deadline was quickly approaching.


Best regards,
