The Canadian GILS Subgroup will be conducting a GILS pilot project 
with a number of government departments. The project's overall 
objective is to illustrate the need for and benefit of using metadata 
when searching for government information.  The project will also 
evaluate and assess the use of the GILS record creation tool (Web 
form) and GILS record repository and search facility developed by the 
Government Telecommunications and Informatics Services of the federal 
government. We have completed the pilot project plan and are now in 
the process of drafting the evaluation questionaire(s) for record 
creators and end users.

Has any one else conducted a study or evaluation of any aspect of 
GILS, e.g. benefits,  search satisfaction, statistics on how long it 
takes to create a GILS record using a Web form or ANY other mechanism, 
success in integrating GILS within departmental procedures, etc., etc?

If you have any reports, written documentation, questionnaires,etc., I 
would very much like to hear from you.

Thanks,

Fay
