Survey participation - Regional students and textbooks

Textbooks are often required to participate in courses at Miami, and also can be an expensive part of a student’s budget. You are invited to participate in a research project. The purpose of this research is to examine how Regional campus students purchase, access, and use textbooks and other course materials. This study is being conducted by a researcher from the Regional campus libraries of Miami University. Participation in this research is restricted to persons 18 years of age or older. 

Completing the survey should take about 10 minutes. Your participation is voluntary, you may skip questions you do not want to answer, and you may stop at any time. The survey does not request information that would explicitly identify you. If you inadvertently include identifying information, such information will be removed from stored data. Only the researchers will have access to individual responses. Results of the survey will only be presented publicly as aggregate summaries. The survey will close on February 10.

As a thank you for completing the survey, you may also enter to win one of five $20 gift cards. The research survey and the contact information form will not be linked therefore the research data will remain as anonymous as you provided it.
