We are in the process of building an International Digital Employee Assistance Archive out of the University of Maryland... and thus very interested in the issue of what and how people read..... We find for the most part... they don't.... but we do have some academics & researchers who actually like to read and an important part of their career..... So would like to understand more clearly what your study has to offer us in terms of PR... and getting academics to submit their papers, history and photos related to the EAP Field.... but finding even this audience has little sustainability in terms of reading simple directions.... Thanks!
I do like to read as part of my career as you pointed out, but I have never worked in this field research simply because I am a geologists. Sorry for not being able to help.
I am concerned about your initial comment. What I have learned in life as an engineer/scientist is that if you have a problem, it is best to try to understand what others have done before you proceed. For example, a solution may exist and the problem is no longer a problem. Moreover, it is foolish to only look at literature from one national perspective but rather wiser to look at a worldwide perspective. Ego and being open-minded, not empty-minded, is a crucial player...
As a novel writer, there is always a need to find new words that can impact and entwine the words for a reader to the point he is attracted to read and finish the novel.
Those that read are the ones that would provide creativity and exceed capabilities within the conventional wisdom. Readers are the pacesetters...

Curious PA... are you concerned about the Project on how much time people spend reading on the Internet... or something in my question about their project..... Thanks for clarification.... because at the moment don't quite understand your comment..... we are all supporting reading... just curious if people are still taking the time to read....
No. My concern is a reality. You can have an education by being force-fed what to learn but if you do not go out to seek new information on your own or, more importantly, to ensure that what you are learning is real or not, how do you do that without reading?
Do you believe everything you are told by others? How about what you see from the media? What about a textbook and, dare I say it, find the truth in the INTERNET? If you do not check on your own, you will never know...

Although this was several months ago, I feel that the views are still real.
The notion is despite the information you receive, you had best double check everything to insure it is correct, especially if this is life relevant.

PA Murad.... I agree with you... which is why we are creating this International Digital EA Archive to provide a place where folks in our field can double check or find new research to substantiate other things they have read....
