Survey of the Biblioblogosphere

Over at the Information Wants To Be Free blog, Meredith Farkas has compiled the results from her 2nd survey about librarians and their blogging habits.

She’ll be releasing it in chunks, the first being the results of the demographic section:

Here are the bits I found most interesting:
Of those who responded to the survey…

  • The largest demographic group for age is 31-40
  • The largest demographic group for job type is reference
  • The largest demographic group for type of institution is large academic libraries (with large public libraries a close second)
  • The largest demographic group for gender is women, but according to Meredith

    Women are definitely better represented in the blogopshere than they were last time, but men still are more likely to blog in proportion to their representation in the general population of librarians.
