Information Technology Survey
Andrew Moffat
398 (31% of our membership) responded to this survey.
232 of those sending in forms (58%) had an email address and only 8 of them did not want the Society to communicate with them by email. All but 2 of them had access to the worldwide web. A further 24 (6%) intended to obtain access to the internet.
Even before receiving the forms we had quite a lot of email addresses; we now have 324 of them, 25% of our total membership.
This last figure is more than I had expected and suggests that it may be worthwhile providing some information by email and/or on the KAS website. However, it will obviously be a long time before we could consider giving up communicating with members by conventional means, if we ever do so.
There may be occasions where important information becomes available but it would not be practical to send it by post and publication in the Newsletter would be too late; it might be practical to send that by email. There are also sufficient members with access to our website that we know that putting information there makes it accessible to a substantial proportion of members.
I am sure this information will be very useful to the Society in developing its activities and we are grateful to members who responded for the trouble they took.
