Biblioblogosphere Survey 2007

Published by Davina | Filed under Uncategorized

Meredith Farkas has put up some preliminary results of her Biblioblogosphere Survey, and there’s some interesting stuff there.

The figures for the percentage of bloggers being academic v public are interesting as it makes me wonder what the other 37% do.

2. Back in 2005, only 19% of bloggers were public librarians while 44% were academic librarians. In 2007, that gap is closing. Now, 33.6% of all library bloggers work in academic libraries and 29.3% are public librarians.

Also, this quote made me smile:

6. Want to be happy? Well, you may want to become a school librarian, work in a law library or work for a consortium or library system, because those three got the highest scores for job satisfaction.

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the final results of the survey!
