The Intended “Audience”
• Faculty only – This was not a survey of graduate students or undergraduate students.
• US only – We were unable to include faculty from other countries.
• Colleges and universities that grant the Bachelor’s Degree or higher – We did not include community colleges.
![Page 3: CNI Task Force Meeting Alexandria, Virginia April 16, 2004 Kevin Guthrie Roger C. Schonfeld Ithaka](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56813648550346895d9dc7e3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Recipients
• 44,060 professors at U.S. colleges and universities were selected at random and sent a questionnaire.
• Surveys were mailed on September 29, 2003, with covering letter.
• Cut-off date November 12, 2003.
• Total of 7,403 completed surveys received
• Overall response rate of 16.8%
![Page 4: CNI Task Force Meeting Alexandria, Virginia April 16, 2004 Kevin Guthrie Roger C. Schonfeld Ithaka](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56813648550346895d9dc7e3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Interpretation of the Findings
• The technological environment is changing rapidly. We need to collect and analyze data on current and emerging trends very rapidly.
• We have hired a firm that does business market research. The technique it uses involves asking similar questions in multiple ways, allowing for a sort of “triangulation” of current views. By comparing the answers to similar questions, evidence of consistency emerges that enhances the confidence we have in findings even at low response rates.
• Although we recognize that the findings presented here are not statistically significant by academic standards, the results we show are broadly consistent across multiple questions. We believe they have considerable value as inputs into strategic planning for librarians, information technologists, and others interested in scholarly communications.

For the Vast Majority, Electronic Databases are Already Invaluable
“Electronic research resources, such as computer databases of academic journals, are an invaluable research tool.”

Conclusions
• Electronic resources are important to faculty.• Humanists depend more on the library for access
than social scientists.• Library access role is expected to diminish.• Electronic archiving is important to all.
Closing Question for Further Reflection: Are the majority of library resources going toward
disciplines that “value” the library’s access role the least?

“The process of locating information in academic journal literature is tedious and often hit-or-miss, and the act of physically searching through hard-copy collections is much too time-consuming and onerous. I would welcome access to new tools that improve my ability to locate and access journal
literature.”

Findings
• Use of electronic resources, and dependence on them, has increased since 2000.
• Notwithstanding the major progress in providing access electronically that has been achieved in the past three years, more faculty report having trouble finding the articles they need.
• Faculty want help, including new tools and resources, to make their research more effective and efficient.

Starting Point for Research
Below are four possible starting points for academic research. Typically, when you are conducting academic research, which of these four starting points do you use to begin locating information for your research?
1. The library building2. A general-purpose search engine on the Internet or World Wide Web,
such as Yahoo or Google3. Your online library catalog4. A specific electronic research resource or computer database

Value of Library Functions
“How important is it to you that your library provides each of the following functions?”
• The library is a starting point or “gateway” for locating information for my research.
• The library pays for resources I need, from academic journals to books to electronic databases.
• The library is a repository of resources – in other words, it archives, preserves, and keeps track of resources.

“With more and more journals becoming available electronically, it is crucial that libraries, publishers, or electronic databases archive, catalog, and protect these electronic journals.”
![Page 36: CNI Task Force Meeting Alexandria, Virginia April 16, 2004 Kevin Guthrie Roger C. Schonfeld Ithaka](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56813648550346895d9dc7e3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Findings
• Notable disciplinary variations exist, with humanities faculty reporting different attitudes and preferences from other faculty.
• Biological scientists are more concerned than might be expected that paper backfiles be retained, perhaps largely because of their dependence on images. How will their needs be met in the new environment?
• The data seems to suggest an increasing reliance on and enthusiasm for e-resources in fields like economics and business/finance. Studying changes in the information needs and research behavior of economists in the past three years might offer predictive insights for other fields that expect e-resources to become more important in the future.
• These disciplinary comparisons may suggest implications for how libraries should serve faculty on their campuses.

Findings
• Archiving is strongly supported, in principle, by all faculty, and electronic archiving is a priority that is growing in importance.
• A majority of faculty are prepared for the cancellation of print current issues, yet a majority also would prefer to see both the print and electronic versions archived – two findings that are incompatible.
• Current practices for electronic archiving are poorly understood by faculty and do not drive publication choices. Electronic archiving is complicated and the problem is not well-defined in their minds.

Findings
• There is broad support for the concept of paper repositories, at minimum, in the archiving system.
• By institutional size, there are some notable differences in which faculty prefer to retain local hardcopies, leading to some suggestive possibilities for an eventual system of paper repositories.

Important Journal Characteristics
How important to you is each of the following possible characteristics of an academic journal?
a) The journal makes its articles freely available on the Internet, so there is no cost to purchase or to read.
b) The journal permits scholars to publish articles for free, without paying page or article charges.
c) Measures have been taken to ensure the protection and safeguarding of the journal’s content for the long term.
d) The current issues of the journal are circulated widely, and are well read by scholars in your field.
e) The journal is highly selective; only a small percentage of submitted articles are published.
f) The journal is available to readers not only in developed nations, but also in developing nations.

Findings
• The three most important characteristics in an academic journal are wide circulation and reading; preservation; and no cost to publish.
• Scientists appear to value two characteristics less than other faculty: no cost to publish (perhaps because they often have grant funding available) and selectivity (perhaps because some scientists have begun to utilize open access resources like arXiv).
• Availability in the developing world is more important among area studies faculty than others, but, even among them, it does not rise as high in value as might have been expected.

Conclusions
![Page 67: CNI Task Force Meeting Alexandria, Virginia April 16, 2004 Kevin Guthrie Roger C. Schonfeld Ithaka](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56813648550346895d9dc7e3/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Conclusions
1. General trends are towards greater use of and dependency on electronic resources.
2. The disciplinary comparisons indicate apparent differences in faculty attitudes toward and use of electronic resources. This has implications for how libraries should serve faculty on their campuses.
3. All faculty value archiving, but the issue is complicated and the problem is not well-defined in their minds.
