Agricultural Research Service

    Title: Evaluation of User Satisfaction with NAL Internet Sites.
    OMB Control Number: 0518-0040.
    Summary of Collection: There is a need to measure user satisfaction 
with the National Agricultural Library (NAL) Internet sites in order 
for NAL to comply with Executive Order 12862, which directs federal 
agencies that provide significant services directly to the public to 
survey customers to determine the kind and quality of services they 
want and their level of satisfaction with existing services. NAL 
Internet sites are a vast collection of Web pages created and 
maintained by component organizations of NAL, and are visited by 4.6 
million people per month on average. The information generated from 
this research will enable NAL to evaluate the success of this new 
modality in response to fulfilling its legislative mandate to 
disseminate vital agricultural information and truly become the 
national digital library of agriculture.
    Need and Use of the Information: The purpose of the research is to 
ensure that intended audiences find the information provided on the 
Internet sites easy to access, clear, informative, and useful. The 
research will provide a means by which to classify visitors to the NAL 
Internet sites, to better understand how to serve them. If the 
information is not collected, NAL will be hindered from advancing its 
mandate to provide accurate, timely information to its users community.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households; Business or 
other for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions; Farms; State, Local or 
Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 10,800.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Monthly.
    Total Burden Hours: 900.
