	Dear colleagues: 
 
 
We have recently switched form traditional paper sign-ups to an electronic sign-up/posting system for studies through our department (we are using the Sona Systems). Though we like the system, we have encountered some issues we would like to fix. We feel these issues might be best be assessed by comparing them to normative standards for doing research. I ask that you please take a moment and reply to the following questionnaire. 
 
 
Your help is greatly appreciated. 
 
 
Sincerely, 
 
 
Rusty B. McIntyre
 
Department of Psychology
 
Wayne State University
