Much thanks for raising the accessibility question. Although there
are accessibility issues with the creation end of Google forms, all of the
forms/surveys that I have completed have been accessible. The same
creation verses delivery concerns are present with UMSurvey.

How could a text form like Google Forms not meet accessibility
standards and what about using UM Survey?

Yikes, I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to use google
forms. They don't meet the University's accessibility standards-

We have a google form, that also has mail merge
capabilities:

I know we use a lot
of google forms, and a lot of mail merges, but I don't know if anyone in
my department combines the two, but it is written so that it is
possible.
Perhaps this fills your need?

Hi Theresa,
Does your college use the Absolute Forms Processor? It gathers your
data and houses it for you. If you don't have access (it might be a
CEHD-only program), MailChimp is pretty great at collecting info. Just
make sure to be careful what info you're gathering (preferably just name
and email due to privacy issues).

Hi,
One of our communications staff asked about
using a third-party service (MailChimp) to gather contact information
for our college.
We have an email form now that sends the
contact information to our departmental email account.
I'm just
wondering what other departments are doing to gather contact
information. Do you think there are any problems with using this
service?
Thanks. TT
