Active SelectSurvey users have likely seen the messaging that SelectSurvey is slated to be retired this August. In July, Library Administration expanded the licensing availability for Qualtrics, so that all library personnel can now have an account. Qualtrics is a modern survey tool with an intuitive interface and gradual learning curve. It should be an adequate replacement for current users of SelectSurvey. For current users of SelectSurvey, the following actions are needed to be completed by Wednesday, August 1, 2016:

• Close open survey(s) by August 1, 2016
• If you have data stored in current or past surveys please export it by August 1, 2016. If you need assistance exporting data, please submit a help request.
• If the survey needs to remain active, recreate the survey in Qualtrics or another tool
• If you have an ongoing research-based survey and are concerned about data being split across two survey tools, or have any concerns or needs during this transition, please contact Library Assessment  at 814-863-1908 for assistance.

For those who currently do not have a Qualtrics account and would like one, ask your supervisor to fill out the account request form. Library Assessment is available to provide training or assist with all Qualtrics related issues.
