Dear Colleagues,

I requested the Library consider buying access to online Roper Poll data
(currently unavailable to us and very expensive to access as individuals).
The Library seems willing to do this if demand is great enough and a "test
drive" is positive.  Attached to this message is a message from UTA's social
science librarian, John Dillard, asking us to test drive the Roper data
site.  Please consider helping John and the others establish this database
for us by trying it out and sending comments as indicated below.

Thanks for your time and your attention to this matter.

Ray Eve
