7 Consultant's Dig. 1 (1997)

handle is hein.journals/cnsldig7 and id is 1 raw text is: Streamlining the Questionnaire Process:
Windows Version of the Annual Questionnaire

Currently, as part of the accreditation process,
the Consultant's Office requires all the law schools to
complete various questionnaires. Most of the ques-
tionnaires are done in a hard copy format. The main
exception is the Annual Questionnaire which is by
far the largest questionnaire required by our office.
Although each questionnaire has its own purpose,
schools are often required to provide the same infor-
mation more than once. In an effort to streamline the
questionnaire process, we have decided to imple-
ment some significant changes that should make life
easier for everyoneinvolved. First, we will make the
transition from DOS based software to a Windows
based application. Second, we will begin to inte-

grate all the ABA questionnaires into one applica-
tion. The new integrated software should eliminate
duplication. Moreover, the software will be de-
signed so that data that does not change will not have
to be reentered each year. The goal of the new
integrated system is to help each law school com-
plete the questionnaires accurately, by making the
computer software extremely easy to use.
Beginning this fall, the 1997 version of the
Annual Questionnaire software will be available in
the Windows format. Moreover, it will be incorpo-
rated into a larger framework of data collection
