During the fall of 2003, Ithaka commissioned a large survey of faculty
at colleges and universities in the United States to learn about their
habits and preferences related to electronic research and teaching resources.
More than 7,400 faculty from numerous academic disciplines responded.
Some of the topics that will discussed in this project
briefing include: faculty's increasing use of electronic resources;
their degree of satisfaction with these resources; their levels of concern
with archiving of both print and electronic resources; their views on
the library and how its role is changing; and their interest in newer
kinds of electronic resources. Breakdowns by various criteria will also
be presented, including discipline, size of academic institution, and
more. Comparisons will be made with baseline findings from 2000 whenever
possible.
