Beyond Method 11

I used Polldaddy.com and found it very easy to use. Typically, we have polled our patrons using the paper and pencil method but I think the time has come to poll them digitally on our website. I believe that the people who do our surveys feel that it is easier to just give someone a piece of paper when they come in but when we do this we are only getting the response of tried and true library patrons who are there practically every day,not the greater population of library users who more and more are using our website to see if books are available and putting them on hold as opposed to coming to the library and browsing our shelves. That is probably why we are decreasing our book stacks by half.
I can't see using Polleverywhere in our library because what seems to make it different from tools like Polldaddy is that you can text in your response on your mobile devise. That kind of technology hasn't become cheap enough for most of our patrons in our small town.
