The goals of the survey are to find out the scope of collecting web content in the United States: what organizations collection development policies state (if they have one), what they are actually collecting, and what services are being used to archive, among other things.

If anyone is interested in helping develop this survey, contact Abbie Grotke (abgr@loc.gov).
