with the
User Survey
Appendix A contains responses to a questionnaire that the committee used
to survey DOT users. As the accompanying letters show, two kinds of users
were surveyed: the first letter was sent to a sample of single-order
purchasers of the DOT, and the second letter was sent to DOT users in state
agencies.
The purchasers of the DOT were randomly sampled from a list of names
and addresses, provided by the U.S. Government Printing Office, of
individuals who purchased the fourth edition DOT during its first six
months of availability. The state users are a casual sample of individuals
identified by staff of the State Occupational Information Coordinating
Committee (so~cc) as users of the DOT.
The questionnaire was part of the committee's effort to determine the
nature and extent of the uses made of the DOT outside the Employment
Service. Other sources of information were site visits to federal agencies
identified as major users (see Appendix B) and a literature review of social
science research uses of the DOT (see Appendix C).
Chapter 4 contains more detail about the sampling design and timing as
well as a detailed analysis of the responses.
