The report presents data from more than 100 corporate, legal, college, governement, and public libraries about their use of Google, Yahoo!, YouTube, Wikipedia, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, and other mega internet sites. The report shows how useful various sites are to the professional efforts of librarians and what librarians are achieving in using the sites.

- 29% of the libraries in the sample were currently working with search engines or other organizations to digitize elements of their collections and make them available over the internet.
