Dear colleagues, As part of an ongoing research project at the Institute for German Language in Mannheim, Germany, financed by the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Scientific Community, we are collecting empirical data on the use of online dictionaries, as only a few studies exist in this area. To this end, we have prepared an online survey in German and English that is not only designed for users of online dictionaries. We would be very grateful if you would support our research by participating in this survey. The survey should take approximately 10 to 20 minutes to complete. Until March 14, it can be launched using any web browser by clicking on the link below: <http://www.unipark.de/uc/benutzungsforschung1/> http://www.unipark.de/uc/benutzungsforschung1/ In return for your participation, you may enter our draw for 10 Amazon vouchers, worth € 10 each. In addition, we donate € 1 for each completed questionnaire to the program “Girls’ Education” of the aid project “Room to Read” (www. roomtoread.org). Furthermore, we would be grateful if you could forward this email or the link to people who might be interested in participating, e. g. colleagues or your students. Thank you very much for supporting our research.
