Nice! I missed this, but my response would have only helped the leader. Good stuff.
Fascinating survey! I’d also be interested to find out if what people call themselves matches their official job title. On paper I’m a media specialist, but I describe myself as a school librarian. Partly because it’s a little more self-explanatory to outsiders, but mostly because I vastly prefer that term! Surely I’m not the only one!
Travis, where did you get the code to run the survey? That worked so well, I’d like to run one myself! 🙂 e
I did a form in Google Drive – I’ve used it before and it works well!
Groovy! Thanks! 🙂 e
