Hi Janet
   I've recently surveyed use of search engines within UK University and
Public Library communities.
   My first survey of UK Universities was reported in the Ariadne web
magazine (see
http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue21/webwatch/)  The survey results are at:
http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue21/webwatch/survey.html
   An updated survey of UK Universities plus a survey of UK Public
Libraries is available at:
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/surveys/
   I'm giving a talk about these surveys at the Internet Librarian
International conference in London in March.  My slides are available
at:

g/

Comments welcome.

Has anyone carried out any similar surveys in the US?

Brian
