The study imparts highly specific data about academic librarian use of library oriented blogs, listservs, publications, association membership and attendance at library conferences. The report includes detail on the percentage of academic librarians who read print publications about libraries, or use library listservs and blogs, as well as the amount of time spent daily on these pursuits. It also includes data on library association membership and money spent on library conferences and related expenses. The report's results are based on a representative survey of 555 full time academic librarians in the United States and Canada. Data is presented in the aggregate and broken out by various characteristics such as gender, age, library work title or field, institutional enrollment, Carnegie class, level of education, USA or Canada and other factors. The 44-page report has approximately 100 tables of data as well as explanatory commentary.
