“Survey Monkey” is a software program that allows one to do online surveys. The free version allows you to ask 10 – 15 questions and has a ceiling for the number of responses you can collect. The full version, which was implemented as a benefit in a Pacific Northwest medical library organization, would cost ANCHASL ~$200 per year in subscription fees. The recommendation was made to offer “Survey Monkey as a benefit of membership.
