The Value of the Survey to the Acoustical Society of America
The survey is the first one we have done for AT in five years. During that time, we have gently shifted the focus of the magazine to have a broader of scope of content and to have articles written at a level so that everyone in the ASA could, presumably, understand all the material. We have also redesigned the magazine and added essays to inform members about interesting issues. In doing the survey, we wanted to find out if we have succeeded in our goals and if our goals have helped make AT valuable to members and to the Society. Our conclusion is that we have been successful. Moreover, it is clear from the comments in the survey that AT fills a valuable educational role for ASA members and that there is interest in our continuing on the
current paths. Of course, we have no interest in continuing with the “same old stuff.” Rather, our additional goal is to continue to make AT more interesting and more valuable to ASA members and to the Society.
Thank You
For those who took the time to share your thoughts with us, we greatly appreciate it. We are considering your com- ments and discussing ways to make AT even better and to serve our readership and Society members more. If you ever think of a way to help improve AT or have an article you want to pitch, please reach out to our editor, Arthur Popper, at apopper@umd.edu.
