Title

¬An international survey of reading and library use by Nobel laureates

Source

Libri. 47(1997) no.2, S.114-120

Year

1997

Abstract

Reports results of a study, conducted in 8 languages, to examine the reading and library use habits of eminent individuals. All living Nobel Prize Laureates were contacted and asked to provide information about their childhood interests and habits and also those which characterize their adult careers. Respondents indicated that as children they enjoyed reading and many relied on library services to provide them with the material they read. The Laureates who grew up in the USA had more access to library services, tended to make more use of libraries as children, and felt more competent to use libraries at earlier ages than did many of their counterparts outside the USA. The reading habit persisted into adulthood more predictably than did library use or their involvement in other leisure activities
