Academic Libraries--Internet Usage
Source: Council on Library and Information Resources
"National Survey Documents Effects of Internet Use on Libraries"
Must read! From the article, "Eighty percent of the students and faculty members who responded to a recent national survey stated that the Internet has changed the way in which they use campus libraries. More than one-third of the respondents overall and half of those in fields such as business and engineering now use the library less than they did just two years ago. These are among the preliminary findings of the survey of more than 3,200 students and faculty members at universities and liberal arts colleges conducted by the Digital Library Federation (DLF) and the research firm Outsell, Inc. The main purpose of the inquiry was to learn how the Internet is affecting the work of students and scholars and what consequences Internet use will have on campus libraries. CLIR will publish full results of the study, entitled Dimensions and Use of the Scholarly Information Environment, this summer."
