This is a study to determine which online resources (websites) are useful
for homeless library patrons and for those aiding them. Answering these questions is important to the homeless and library
community. The purpose of this project is to provide access to materials that may improve the experience of the homeless
patron as well as that of the librarian by providing easy access to helpful resources. The viewer will look at the information
site created by this researcher and then evaluate the most and least helpful aspects and make recommendations. The viewer
will spend twenty minutes viewing the website before filling out the questionnaire. The survey takes between five and
ten minutes to fill out.
There are no foreseeable risks or discomforts aside from viewing online
resources linking the viewer to social organizations such as homeless shelters and social security offices. Viewers
may benefit from the organization and availability of resources and websites. The viewer may choose to view the website
and not participate in the survey or may choose not to do either.
All responses are anonymous.
Participation is voluntary; refusal to participate involves no penalty.
Participants may stop answering at any time.
