Survey of the Biblioblogosphere: Attitudes and Behaviors

16. How many blogs are you subscribed to (or if you don’t subscribe, how many do you read regularly)?

Less than 15…. 21 (12.8%)
16 to 40…. 36 (22%)
41 to 75…. 33 (20.1%)
76 to 100…. 23 (14%)
101 to 150…. 24 (14.6%)
151 to 200…. 13 (7.9%)
more than 200…. (8.5%)

I don’t know how those of you who read more than 200 blogs manage to do it! I can barely keep up with 120 blogs (many of which I rarely read in their entirety). I guess there is a different between subscribing to a blog and actually reading all of the posts.

17. How would you rate yourself on the following qualities?

	Definitely	Pretty much	Somewhat	Barely	Not at all	N/A
Open to change	99 (60%)	57 (35%)	6 (4%)	2 (1%)	0 (0%)	0 (0%)
Tech-savvy	65 (40%)	70 (43%)	26 (16%)	1 (1%)	0 (0%)	0 (0%)
A leader in innovation at work	65 (40%)	55 (34%)	31 (19%)	2 (1%)	2 (1%)	8 (5%)
Happy at your job	61 (38%)	55 (34%)	24 (15%)	10 (6%)	2 (1%)	9 (6%)

Interesting to see that only 22% of bloggers are ambivalent about their job or hate their job. I think a lot of people who don’t read blogs think that bloggers are malcontents who complain about work all the time, and these stats show that most library bloggers are pretty satisfied with their jobs.

I decided to throw out question #18, which was about the attitudes of administrators at one’s place of work about innovation. It was a confusing question and I got too many none of the above’s to really make sense of the answers.
