OCLC's Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS) is in the process of developing the PAIS Archive, a retrospective A&I database chronicling global public policy and social issues from the early twentieth century through the 1970s, to be available on OCLC FirstSearch, Winter 2003 / Spring 2004. The PAIS Archive will include the complete content of the PAIS Annual Cumulated Bulletin, Volumes 1 - 62, previously available only in print format.

We would appreciate your assistance, or that of an appropriate colleague, in completing a brief survey to assist us in determining how to go forward with certain database development issues. If you are willing to participate, please complete the PAIS Archive mini-survey http://www.pais.org/feedback/survey.stm. The responses will be forwarded to the PAIS Archive editor. Your responses will be forwarded anonymously unless you choose to provide your contact information. Thank you for your participation.

Any questions or comments regarding the PAIS Archive can be directed to PAISArchive@oclc.org.
