With data from the “Toronto study” of metropolitan statistics I have now calculated the ratio between virtual and physical visits in 2006 for all the cities included.
Picture: City of Gold Coast, Australia (67 virtual per 100 phusical visits)
Cities with more than one million inhabitants
The median is 34 virtual per 100 physical visits
- Queens 170
- Toronto 90
- Singapore 41
- Budapest 39
- Vienna 38
- Hong Kong 30
- Brooklyn 30
- Prague 14
- Montreal 12
- Bucharest 4
Cities between five hundred thousand and one million inhabitants
The median is 53 virtual per 100 physical visits
- Boston 4,138 – probably due to a misprint in the Table
- Helsinki 97
- Jacksonville 78
- Copenhagen 76
- Seattle 75
- Bremen 65
- Vancouver 53
- Düsseldorf 50
- Brisbane 29
- Rotterdam 26
- Amsterdam 10
- Oslo 3
- Riga 1
Cities between two hundred and fifty and five hundred thousand inhabitants
The median is 54 virtual per 100 physical visits
- Lyon 72
- City of Gold Coast 67
- Dresden 58
- Zürich 50
- Toulouse 27
- Utrecht 27

Hello Tord! I’m sorry I didn’t contact you sooner. I’m also at the IFLA conference. Wonder if we can meet up somehow. Hopefully within the last two days. From the programme, I think you’ll be at the National Libraries with Statistics and Evaluation section (206ab). I’ll be at my section’s prg (Libraries for Children & Young Adults) in room 2000bc. I’ll probably pop by your side since my programme ends at 10.30am. Cheers.
