University Students and Faculty Use Library Less
According to a 2002 study from the Digital Library Federation (DLF) and
Outsell, Inc., 80% of US college and university students and faculty
believe the internet has changed the manner in which they use campus
libraries. Over 34% of respondents say they use their schools' libraries
less than they did two years ago. DLF and Outsell surveyed 3,200
students and faculty members at US universities and liberal arts
colleges and also determined that of
the time undergraduate and graduate students spend looking for research
or coursework information, roughly 34% is spent in the library.
Undergraduates spend roughly 50% of their time researching coursework in
their residences. Professors spend roughly 10% of their time in the
library searching for research or teaching information.
