Dear Friends of the TEAMS Middle English Texts Series, 

On behalf of the TEAMS Middle English Texts Series (METS), a Robbins Library Digital Project at the University of Rochester, I am writing to request your help in supporting METS’s digital redesign efforts by completing the following user survey, both linked here and at the bottom of this email. This survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and is currently set to run until January 9, 2023, at 11:59 pm Eastern Time (UTC-5:00). Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Over its thirty-two years of publishing, METS has published and provided free online access to hundreds of digital editions of medieval texts, many of which would otherwise be rare, prohibitively expensive, or nonexistent as traditional print editions. These open-access editions have made it possible for instructors, students, and researchers alike to teach, learn, and advance scholarship on medieval British literature wherever they are in the world. An open-access digital collection, however, is only as accessible and useful as its website and user interface allow it to be – and over the past few years, it has become clear that both the METS website and its approach to digital editions need an update. Feedback from users like you will be pivotal in reimagining both with the needs of our diverse user base in mind.

On behalf of METS, thank you for considering this request. We look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,
Mead Bowen
