I'd just like to comment though that how you construct it will greatly influence the outcome in this case (as in any). I link to all of the mentioned things, and for all of the mentioned reasons, except to be noticed. Which is the most prevalent? I've got no idea, nor the energy to go through and do an internal survey of my own so it would just be a guess. And I think the diversity of reasons is just as important, or more, than the "main" one. And don't forget public service linking, like to Open WorldCat for a mentioned book title. Good luck with it! I'll be looking forward to taking it, even if I'm just guessing at some answers or reporting my perceptions of my own behavior. :) I think your survey idea is interesting.
