I also wonder how the results would have been different if there was more flexibility from Facebook in how you can formulate a poll question. For example, if we were allowed to let respondents choose more than one option, we could change the wording from "What is your preferred method for getting research help from a librarian" to something like "What methods for getting research help from a librarian are you interested in (choose all that apply)." I bet there'd be a lot more who would choose Facebook. Stacy – I agree that it’d be nice to be able to gage Facebook reference in other ways.

Yet isn't that why they go to Facebook? So, maybe we need to find a way to measure the practicality of Facebook reference that doesn't use a ranking system. (Which is kinda how I read this survey question.) Do you think that Facebook users would say that their preferred method of contacting friends is via Facebook? Yet isn’t that why they go to Facebook?

I think the fact that 81% of Facebook users are interested in contacting a librarian at all is pretty good! Sure, I'd love it if 100% were interested, but I think it'd be unreasonable to expect that. After spending just 3 years at a reference desk and helping many a college senior with their first library experience I do see 81% as a strong number. And of course It'd be nice to know "why" but this was a quick closed ended poll. We do plan to do a more thorough survey of our students in the fall which will hopefully be the first in a series. I'll be sure to post those results here. Thanks for you comment, Stuart. I think the fact that 81% of Facebook users are interested in contacting a librarian at all is pretty good!

"Depressing" seems like a more logical response--along with frustration that there is no way to follow-up with the 38 to ask "why?"

I agree that the low number for reference via Facebook is disappointing, but I never really saw myself doing a lot of reference work in Facebook anyway. I see it as more of a way to get connected to students so that they know who I am and what I can do for them. Then, when we have a chance to meet later on - either face to face or in other digital areas - they will already know who I am and feel comfortable about talking to me. At least, that's how I hope it goes. Thanks again for the great poll results. I’m just starting to establish myself as a librarian on Facebook, so this information comes at a great time.
