RTF Form of DATL Questionnaire
Dear
colleagues and fellow librarians,
Re:
Directory of Asian Theological Libraries
You
may have already heard that the Forum of Asian Theological Librarians
(ForATL) intends to revise the Directory of Asian Theological Libraries
(DATL), which was previously published in 1993 and 2002. The revised
edition was to be launched in early 2006, but this did not come
to pass due to various circumstances.
Delegates
at the 4th ForATL Consultation then unanimously agreed that the
DATL3 project was important and should be revived. They also decided
that the format of publication and dissemination should be reconsidered
with wider accessibility and economical costs in mind.
Data
collected for the planned 2006 publication is now outdated and,
as such, we are circulating the survey form once again. We humbly
request your assistance to fill in the form and to return it by
fax, post or email to:
Hilda

The
DATL will help disseminate information about your library and thus
•
provide the basis for networking among Asian theological libraries
• indicate the location of special collections and resources
available
• enable ForATL to plan assistance for Asian theological librarians
You
will find that the survey is now much simpler than the previous
one, and a completed form has been enclosed as an example. If you
are unable to provide all the information required, simply fill
in whatever you can, but please, PLEASE, do fill in the questionnaire
and send it back to me.
Your
cooperation and participation in this matter is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Warmest
regards,
Hilda
