<p>Welcome to the Otago Repository Usage Survey. The Otago Repository seems to have been wildly popular since its launch on November 17 2005, with a grand total of over 35,000 downloads from more than 110 countries as of early April 2006. This is clearly quite spectacular and exhibits a much greater growth rate than several other similar repositories.</p>\n\n<p>We therefore invite you to complete our survey so that we might better understand the sources and interests of our visitors, which in turn will help us determine why the Otago Repository has experienced such high traffic growth. The survey is open to all \"end-users\" of the repository, including authors of items in the repository.</p>\n\n<p>You will be asked several questions about how and why you discovered the Otago Repository, and how you have used the repository since. You will also be given an opportunity to provide us with your own thoughts as to why we might be experiencing such spectacular traffic growth and how we might further enhance the repository. Questions marked with a red asterisk (<span style=\"color:red;\">*</span>) must be answered.</p>\n\n<p>No personally identifying information is collected during the survey and all responses are anonymous. Note that the IP address of the computer that you use to complete the survey will be logged and a cookie will be saved to that computer as a simple measure to avoid \"survey spam\". This means that the survey normally cannot be completed more than once from the same computer. The cookie does not identify you, nor is it associated with your survey responses in any way.</p>
