In the previous century, survey data collection was often based on random samples from the population. Respondents were questioned in face-to–face or telephone interviews or by mail questionnaires. Nowadays, in many polls, people are invited to express their opinion through the internet. Is this technological progress, a methodological hornets’ nest or both? In October 2006, DANS organized a symposium on this topic called ‘Access Panels en online onderzoek, panacee of slangenkuil’.

The presentations and debates at the symposium reflected a mixture of enthusiasm, fierce criticism and scientific scepticism. This volume contains all the papers of the day.
