Wanderings of a Librarian

Survey closed

Thanks for taking the Survey Monkey survey. Very helpful!

I found Survey Monkey quite easy to use. I built the survey without reading any documentation--I had to go back a couple of times when I guessed wrong what a particular "question type" referred to, but that was easy enough. It was a bit less intuitive when it came to making the survey active and figuring out how to link to it.

  • To make a Survey Monkey survey active, you open it by clicking on the closed box next to the survey in the listing

  • To figure out how to link to the survey, you click on the collect icon and it gives you a choice to create a link for an email or a web page.


Accessing the results were also intuitive, so here they are:
  • 26 respondents

  • Number of books that I have read so far in 2006:
    • 0 to 2: 7.7% 2 respondents
    • 3 to 5: 3.8% 1 respondent
    • 6 to 10: 11.5% 3 respondents
    • 11 to 20: 15.4% 4 respondents
    • 21 to 30: 26.9% 7 respondents
    • 31 to 40: 3.8% 1 respondent
    • 40 plus: 30.8% 8 respondents

  • The type of books I have read most often for pleasure in 2006 are:
    • Mystery novels: 34.6% 9 respondents
    • Romance novels: 15.4% 4 respondents
    • Adventure novels: 17.7% 2 respondents
    • Science fiction novels: 23.1% 6 respondents
    • Biographies: 3.8% 1 respondent
    • Self help: 0% 0 respondents
    • Other: 57.7% 15 respondents

  • The number of nonprofessional magazine titles I have subscribed to or regularly read in 2006:
    • 0 to 2: 50% 13 respondents
    • 3 to 5: 46.2% 12 respondents
    • 6 or more: 3.8% 1 respondent

The "other" in the types of books questions drew responses like: nonfiction, graphic novels, and history. Thanks, everyone! This was fun.
