How can I make Librarians Matter better ?

If you have time, please fill in my quick survey about how I can improve this blog. How can I improve Librarians Matter ?

I’ve just discovered the option to add a form to a Spreadsheet on Google Docs and want to test it out.

If you open a Spreadsheet, the option to add a form is under the “Share” tab. Answers are compiled straight into the spreadsheet. Here’s a How To from Lifehacker: Enter Data into Google Spreadsheets via Custom Forms.

I’ve already discovered that you cannot rearrange the order of questions or insert a new one once you have saved. I’ll let you know the results of the survey and how Google Spreadsheets work as a survey tool.

You should be able to re-arrange the questions on the form… use the form creator itself (edit the form) and as you hover over any question, there are little up/down arrows that you can use to push the question up or down in the order….
Have fun!

Now, THAT is customer service JR. Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog. I’ll include that feature in the update / review post. I’ll email you some feedback too.

At the moment, I don’t like the way that the results of the checkboxes are all displayed in one cell, as I’ll need to analyse them by hand…. or do a “search for occurances of string x and total them” formula - but that will be a hassle for 10 or so options.

Oy Peta! Librarians is Mattering betterest all the time.

Penny, another reader, has told me that she always reads the blog title as “Librarians Smatter” - a little smattering of librarianship. I kind of like that one too.
