statement thoroughly and keep a copy for your records. Once you read
the Informed Consent, you are welcome to contact the study
investigators if you still have questions about the study or
participation. You may terminate the survey at any time without

as a result of participation in this study.

Thank you for considering this invitation to participate in what we
believe is a worthwhile effort to improve federated search and unified
discovery tools!
