Ed,
        At MSU we use PDAs for survey work and download the information 
to an Access database for manipulation.  We create random sampling lists 
from our on line catalog, III and use them both on paper and 
electronically for a variety of purposes including to determine insurance 
numbers.  Andrew Robb and I presented a paper at AIC on the topic and you 
can see the abstract and survey instructions at 
http://www.lib.msu.edu/drewes/.  I should warn you that it is a little 
out of date in terms of the current software available.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone (but especially someone whose
library uses the Horizon library management system) who has done a
condition survey using a portable barcode reader, a laptop, and SAS or SPSS
or some other database management or statistical software to make the data
collection and analysis as efficient as possible.

Thanks.

Ed
