Greenstone User and Developer Survey Results

The 2009 Greenstone User and Developer Survey was designed to gather information about the organizational and technical contexts in which organizations and individuals use Greenstone Digital Library Software. A major component of the survey focused on how support resources are used and how current resources meet user needs.

We are posting results from a basic analysis of Survey responses at this site. The results are presented in the context of seven content areas represented in the Survey.  Note that not all respondents were presented with all questions.  Respondents were screened such that, for example, respondents who do not work with Greenstone in the context of an organization did not receive questions related to organizational context.
