Blog Readers Survey--Erratum

Sorry for a bit of mis-reporting on the blog reader survey results.   You are about to read a blog version of an erratum statement.

Apparently Survey Monkey only counts responses when people select one of the options I provided. For example, in question # 2 220 people answered that they either worked in hospitals or academic health sciences libraries.

This meant that 46 people skipped the question, officially. But there were many comments--50 in fact, presumably to offer another option.  So the total number of inputs to the question was 270 (for 266 responses); some people offered clarifying comments, some only comments, and some people truly skipped the question.

So it's not true--as I claimed in my previous post--that you had to pick a pre-set option in order to make a comment. You could make a comment on its own, but SurveyMonkey doesn't capture that scenario very cleanly.
