Questions


 **1)** **What is the population of Kenya in 2009?** Using the [|U.S. Census Bureau's] International Database, the population of Kenya in 2009 is 39,002,772, the 33rd largest country in the world.

Using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' [|Occupational Outlook Handbook] I noticed that the most recent Handbook was for the year 2006-2016. So, I decided to look through the [|Occupational Outlook Quarterly] (available online), and I searched the Index, and found the Education and Training page. One of the first selections was the 2004-2014 Job Outlook for College Graduates. I went to Table 5 (Selected Education Occupations), and found the answer. In 2004, 85% of librarians between the age of 25 and 44 had a bachelor's or higher degree.
 * 2) In 2004, what percentage of paid staff in US public libraries were librarians with an MLS degree?**


 * 3)** **Locate a statistical chart/table/graph in a newspaper or magazine. Is the original source of the data included with the chart/table/graph? If so, try to locate the original source of these data.**

From the [|New York Times]on November 2, 2009, I found this table about the highest paid University Presidents among private institutions.



The //Times// cites //The Chronicle for Higher Education// as the source, so I went there to verify the statistical information. I went to [|The Chronicle's website] and clicked on the Facts & Figures button at the top of the page, then clicked on Administrator Data and Private Institution. I set the parameters to generate the table, and verified all the information in the table from the //Times// (though I had to sign up for a free membership to //The Chronicle// to do this). The source information to the table can be found [|here].
