Notes on survey data and methodology. (See page 2.)
- 391 respondents (which seems like a small sampling to me) are somewhat representative of the four-county Milwaukee area population of 1.5 million,
- Whites over-represented, African-Americans under-represented.
- Women, college graduates, and people over 50 over-represented.
The only mention of libraries occurs on page 5, under the heading of "Impressions of Existing Shared Services". The Milwaukee County Federated Library System receives the highest ranking.
Excerpt from this section of the report. Differences in opinion about these shared services are associated with respondents’ ideological leanings and political affiliations. Those who consider themselves conservative are significantly less likely to have a favorable impression of each service, as are those who identify themselves as Republicans.
