Survey says . . . THF Digital Library

Every September the Board of Directors and Associates of The Haiku Foundation are sent a survey. Their responses help to guide our growth and direction. We’d like to broaden our input, and so we’ll be asking you to respond to a series of questions, one per week, over the next half-year. Your replies will be weighed in our assessment of our performance.

Today’s question: Digital Library

We currently have a Curator of Digital Acquisitions, Ron Moss, who also has access to excellent reproduction equipment. We have an operations plan in place. We are looking for a Digital Librarian. We currently add Book of the Week entries to the Digital Library when available. We hope to substantially increase the number of books we offer in the next few years, including rare, historical, and hard to find books. The Digital Library can be found on the website.

Please assess how well The Haiku Foundation is delivering on this topic. Indicate your assessment of our performance to date by choosing one of the options:

Excellent

Good

Fair

Poor

Abandon

Please feel free to add additional comments. Thank you in advance for your consideration, and for helping us make The Haiku Foundation a better resource.

  1. So love this feature! It is such a beautiful gift from a reader’s perspecitive alone, but as a writer it is invaluable. There is nothing like reading excellent poetry to improve your own. Thank you for this resource.

  2. THF Digital Library is an excellent program.

    From my caregiving years and volunteer work in a nursing home, I can also say that while some older people enjoy computers, others do not wish to learn them, and prefer paper-print books and journals. I have my technical limits for sure, as well. Every day includes print journals and haiku books – as well as this good time. No conflicts – it all works together . . . can’t imagine life without libraries.

    Thank you, Ellen
