| At the request of the presidents, the task of responding to
this survey has been assigned to the campus president's designee
to the Information Technology Advisory Committee. On most campuses,
the ITAC designee is responsible for the technology resources and
support services covered by this survey. The ITAC designee is expected
to undertake whatever consultation is necessary to obtain the requested
information from campus associates.
Thank you in advance for your help in carrying out this important
task.

Following are suggestions aimed at minimizing frustration and mistakes
in the use of this web survey interface.
Data submission as the FINAL step
The active web page is constructed as a single page.
The database will accept only one submission per campus. No changes
can be made after the form has been submitted. If you close the
web page for any reason, the form will be cleared and all data you
have entered will be lost. We recommend, therefore, that data be
entered into the interactive web form from a completed hardcopy
of the questionnaire. In addition to simplifying the survey submission
process, the completed questionnaire provides an archival reference
for future surveys.
Access to the survey questionnaire
One of the main reasons for conducting the survey via the web is
to facilitate the extensive consultation required to provide the
requested information. The survey questionnaire,
including the explanatory links,
can be viewed and downloaded by anyone. If you wish to have it for
internal use, a blank copy of the FileMaker Pro database that used
to store the data can be sent to you on request.
Authorization to submit data
Campus technology survey coordinators will receive by email a password
for submitting the survey data. Any data submitted for your campus
is presumed to have the approval of the campus technology survey
coordinator. The first submission with the campus name is accepted
as the only campus response. Please make sure, therefore, that you
(or your designee) retain control over submission on behalf of your
campus.
Password placement
The request to enter the password appears only AFTER you click on
the submit button.
Numerical values
In reporting dollar amounts ($) and numbers round off values to
the nearest whole number. Report FTE values and percentages to the
nearest tenth. Enter percentage as decimal
number; e.g., for 35% enter .35, for 100% enter 1.0
Accessing clarifications and returning to the survey
Clarifications and interpretations of terms used in the survey can
be accessed by clicking on the bold brown text fragments. Use the
Back button on your browser to return to questionnaire.
Error messages
Error messages will appear for the following reasons:
1. one or more of the required fields (indicated by an asterisk)
was omitted;
2. data have already been received from your campus;
3. the password is incorrect.
