About This Survey

» An independent Reprint Desk study conducted in Napa, CA, on March 24,

2009, at the Special Libraries Association (SLA) Division of Pharmaceutical
& Health Technology (P&HT) Spring Meeting

» Information was captured using electronic handheld devices to capture

and aggregate anonymous real
real-time
time audience responses to questions

» Questions were integrated within the presentation entitled ‘The Role of the
Information Center in Critical Regulatory Submissions’ presented by Ian
Palmer, Head of Marketing at Reprints Desk

» The audience totals represented a smaller sub-segment of the meeting

audience that was present for most of the SLA P&HT Event, likely due to
the session slot as the last session on the last day of the event
