Title: Evaluation of User Satisfaction with NAL internet Sites.
OMB Control Number: 0518-0040.
Summary of Collection: There is a need to measure user satisfaction
with the National Agricultural Library (NAL) internet sites in order
for NAL to comply with Executive Order 12862, which directs federal
agencies that provide significant services directly to the public to
survey customers to determine the kind and quality of services they
want and their level of satisfaction with existing services. NAL
internet sites are a vast collection of web pages created and
maintained by component organizations of NAL and are visited by 8.6
million people per month on average.
Need and Use of the Information: The purpose of the research is to
ensure that intended audiences find the information provided on the
internet sites easy to access, clear, informative, and useful. The
research will provide a means by which to classify visitors to the NAL
internet sites, to better understand how to serve them. The information
generated from this research will enable NAL to evaluate the success of
this new modality in response to fulfilling its legislative mandate to
disseminate vital agricultural information and truly become the
national digital library of agriculture. If the information is not
collected, NAL will be limited in its ability to provide accurate,
timely information to its user community.

other for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions; Farms; State, Local or
Tribal Government.
