Campus Community
Posted: Thursday, June 12, 2008Bulletin Readership Survey
Please take a moment to consider the Buffalo StateBulletin over the past academic year and complete asurvey designed to measure reader satisfaction with the new publication.
College Relations redesigned the Bulletin—its longstanding weekly newsletter for faculty, staff, and emeriti—last year, in part to address the results of a 2006 faculty-staff survey on internal communication. Respondents said they wanted a more in-depth publication, one that would encourage a more scholarly campus culture. Sixty percent said they wanted more information, and 77 percent wanted more information about issues affecting the college. Respondents also wanted more quotations and opinions from people across campus and an eco-friendly product (i.e., no paper).
Rather than introduce a new publication, College Relations chose to enhance the Bulletin, an established source of reliable information for the campus community since 1958. The electronic version is archived and searchable.
Readers’ reactions to the new Bulletin seem positive. Web-tracking software suggests that readership has roughly doubled over the past year. Our goal in augmenting the Bulletin was to improve communication with and among faculty and staff members at Buffalo State College. Have we succeeded? Please let us know!
The survey is short—just 13 questions. It will be posted through June 27. Responses will be anonymous (but feel free to send comments or suggestions anytime tocollrel@buffalostate.edu). Please help us tailor the newBulletin to better meet your needs. Thank you.
