Taking the FCRAO Extragalactic CO Survey as an example, the requirements are examined for a galaxy survey which can be used to study the global molecular gas content of normal galaxies as a function of their size and type. The FCRAO survey is applied to derive the CO luminosity function of galaxies, and to look at variations in LCO/LB and CO/HI with Hubble type.
