A user survey was launched on 21 October 2009 and has so far generated over 200 responses. The survey has been promoted on the BGCI and 4D4Life websites and has been distributed via several mailing lists to at least 2,000 email addresses.   The next steps include surveying other potential user groups, such as the commercial sector, educators, etc, and carrying out follow-up interviews with several organizations.  This survey will provide a vital starting point to gain further knowledge of who uses Catalogue of Life, what area they are from, and what services they would like to see.
