The New Quick Query System is up and Running By now most of you have either already created a Report with the new Quick Query System, or have at least heard about the application. The new Quick Query System was developed by the CSRDE team to aid in creating reports that utilize CSRDE data with the press of a button online. There are three tools that are part of the application, the Peer Report Tool, the Summary Report Tool - Select by Category, and the Adhoc Summary Report Tool. The level of institutional membership determines which tools are accessible. For more information, go to http://csrde.ou.edu/web/qqsinfo.html. The New Membership Year is Rapidly Approaching We are currently updating our information for the 2008-09 CSRDE membership year which runs from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009. Recruiting packets will be mailed to about 9,000 higher education colleagues very soon, so if you know of anyone from other institutions that you believe would benefit from joining the consortium, please let us know so that we can send them the information. Also, as soon as the membership renewal forms are available, we will have them in the mail to the Main Contact person at member institutions. Once you receive them, please complete the forms and return them to us as soon as possible so that you don’t miss out on anything! As you review the materials, please keep in mind that we will continue to offer three levels of membership. The materials will have detailed information about the different levels, but please note that Levels 2 and 3 provide you with additional online data options through our new Quick Query System (as described in this newsletter). Members who choose level 2 or 3 also receive additional free webinars and contact people on their account.
