Engineers And Scholarly Journals: Reading Patterns In The Electronic Era, Carol Tenopir, Donald W. King
Carol Tenopir
Scholarly journals are an important source of trusted information, although the engineering professional reads fewer journal articles on average than do members of the scientific and engineering academic communities. Studies have shown that engineers spend a smaller proportion of work time reading from scholarly journals and that they read fewer articles than scientists and physicians. Nonetheless journals are useful and valuable to engineers, who also read many types of information resources, including standards, technical reports, books, and articles.

The Globalization Of Journalism Online: A Transatlantic Study Of News Websites And Their International Readers, Neil J. Thurman
Neil Thurman

Visibility on portals like the Drudge Report and on indexes such as Google News brings considerable international traffic but is partly dependent on particular genres of story and fast publication times. Few news websites are willing to disclose breakdowns of their large numbers of international readers fearing a …

Academic Subject Guides: A Case Study Of Use At San Jose State University, Shannon M. Staley

Subject guides are lists of resources created to assist students with their research needs. While academic librarians ascribe great importance to subject guide development, it is difficult to tell whether students find them useful. A review of the literature reveals a lack of user-centered data in this area.This study investigates students’use of subject guides in three areas of study—Nursing, Journalism & Mass Communications, and Organization & Management. Results indicate that students who have received library instruction tend to use subject guides more frequently and find them useful.

Institutional Repositories: Evaluating The Reasons For Non-Use Of Cornell University's Installation Of Dspace, Philip Davis, Matthew Connolly
IR Research
Problem: While there has been considerable attention dedicated to the development and implementation of institutional repositories, there has been little done to evaluate them, especially with regards to faculty participation.
Purpose: This article reports on a three-part evaluative study of institutional repositories. We describe the contents and participation in Cornell's DSpace and compare these results with seven university DSpace installations. Through in-depth interviews with eleven faculty members in the sciences, social sciences and humanities, we explore their attitudes, motivations, and behaviors for non-participation in institutional repositories.
Results: Cornell's DSpace is largely underpopulated and underused by its faculty. Many of its …
