[Perhaps you are wondering why there is yet another #@$%! commute mode survey right after SULAIR was asked to complete one last month (which was a do-over anyway). This time, it's different -- really, in two ways: first, the new survey is more detailed and campus-wide, rather than tabulated by campus division; second, you can win BIG PRIZES if you participate in this one (plus moral satisfaction, as usual). Read on.]
If you are a Stanford affiliate (faculty, staff, and students in the Bay Area), you should have received an email last week inviting you to participate in the annual P&TS Commute Mode Survey. If we do not have your email address in our system, you should receive a printed version within one to two weeks.
When you complete the survey, you will have the option to be entered in our drawings for a $1,000 grand prize, iPods, gift cards, and AMC movie tickets, or you may submit your survey anonymously. There will be 41 lucky winners in our drawings! What's more, everyone who completes the survey will help Stanford assess and improve its transportation programs.
The deadline to enter the commute survey prize drawings is April 30, 2008.

Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) custom search engine.
It's really quite simple. Give a set of urls to the free CSE
utility, Google goes and builds an index of those sites and creates a
search engine to search over those sites specifically. Voila, you have a Google search engine for more focused results of a specific subject
area.
This CSE includes IGOs like the United Nations, World Bank, UN
Development Program (UNDP), Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD), European Union, Organization of American States,
the Asian Development Bank and NGOs like AARP, Earth Watch Institute,
International Crisis Group, OXFAM, and the World Agricultural Forum. It
will enable users to research a wide range of topics such as human
rights, development, environment, education, HIV/AIDS, health, women's
issues, etc.
This is a project of the International Documents Taskforce of the Government Documents Roundtable (GODORT),
American Library Association (ALA). Stanford Library staff who worked
on the project include James R. Jacobs, Barbara Celone, Tony Angiletta
and Karim Arsalane. For more background on this project, including a
growing list of IGOs and NGOs included in the search, please see the IDTF wiki.
Please try out the search and let us know what you think.
