@Tom Thank you for participating in the survey! Only 6% of survey respondents were from school libraries, so isolating those reponses would not be statistically significant. Sounds like a great question for AASL or SLA to pose to its membership. @Ed The “as needed” category was intended for responses that are not covered by the other categories. Hopefully, someone who feels they need to read a listserv on a daily basis chose the Daily response rather than As Needed. Multiple choice questions are frequently subject to different interpretations, but in this case we relied on the expertise of our survey consultant who recommended the As Needed option.

I worry about the “as needed” category. For example, I recently finished an online course, which I checked in on daily. But I do not currently have plans for another course, so does that make me a “daily,” an “as needed,” or a “never?”

Likewise, I’d use online job sites if I was job hunting, but I’m not. “As needed” or “never?”

And I need to use email listservs daily, at least to avoid having my inbox flood. If I use them daily as needed, is it “daily” or “as needed?”

As to Nancy’s comment about the popularity of listservs, I’d suspect that they are that popular, when the survey audience is limited to WebJunction members.
