The following is a different computer survey from Gregg A. Silvis'
survey. This was given to 1st year law students at Cleveland -
Marshall College of Law, Cleveland State University. A long document
that was written using WordPerfect (so you might find it easier to
read if put back into that form).
The law library is surveying the personal computer background of our
entering class. Please spend a few minutes to answer the brief
questions below. Your answers will permit the library staff to plan
a legal information program consistent with your data processing
needs. After completing the questions, kindly return the survey to
the Law Library's Circulation/Reserve desk.
Thank you for your participation and welcome to the law library.
