Update (and take my survey!)

Ah! Long time, no blog. I'd been caught up in school, work and other stuff, and before I knew it, it was March!

Anyway, I wanted to give a quick update on my research project for CSR-pedia. CSR-pedia is the project of my professor, Dr. Mary Ann Ferguson, who has created a wiki to compile information about corporate social responsibility programs. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a built-in function of corporations dealing with their adherence to legal, ethical, and cultural standards. Dr. Ferguson has been a great help to me throughout the development of this survey, which will show us more about the information consumption habits of those interested in corporate social responsibility.

My survey attempts to document the way online CSR communities share and consume information about CSR, helping to pinpoint the types of CSR program information these communities want most, and in what type of media format they prefer to receive it. The goal is to build a foundation of information about CSR with which we can identify ways to improve CSR-pedia (or other CSR-focused Web sites).

If you'd like to take the survey, click here, or if you'd like a copy of the results, send an e-mail to csrsurvey dot wise at gmail dot com. I hope to have the results compiled and analyzed by May.
