“…To obtain their documents, 25% of the UTK faculty had a budget for information products and the median and mode amount for those funded was $500. The UTK faculty funded 84% of the personalized subscriptions themselves, the same percentage as reported for the science faculty of a Canadian undergraduate university (Schuegraf, Keliher, & van Bommel et al, 1992). UTK faculty had an average of 4.2 personalized subscriptions/person, the same level as found in a 1972–1973 American Council on Education survey on U.S. college and university faculty (Wanner, Lewis, & Gregorio et al, 1981).…”

The majority of a university faculty's work deals with information or knowledge-finding, getting, reading, and using it. We analyzed the demographic portion of a library use survey given to faculty and staff of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK) to obtain a profile of information-related activities carried out by university faculty. Journal articles were the predominant document type that faculty both read and authored. Faculty averaged 4.2 journal subscriptions per person, of which 84% were paid for personally. Twenty-five percent of the faculty had obtained some funds for information products and of those funded, the median amount provided was $500. Faculty spent 24 minutes per day using e-mail and 78 minutes per week using non-e-mail computer network. Faculty reported publishing 3.0 journal articles per year and 31% of the faculty had won an award for professional contributions in the previous 2 years.

“…It could, therefore, be assumed that these journals would not only be of some importance to the marketing academics' research but also that academics considered it important for students to have access to these journals. If broad-based access is not important, then academics may choose to subscribe individually to these journals rather than having the journals in the library (Schuegraf and van Bommel 1994). While such activities would reflect a high degree of importance to the individual, it is argued that this information would not be readily accessible to all potential users.…”

Instead of using citations or marketing academics™ perceptual ranking of journals, this article examines the ranking of marketing journals using Australian university library holdings, in either hard copy or full-text electronic format. This measure was used as a proxy for broad-based accessibility of marketing journals. The study found that the accessibility rankings differed significantly from the most recent U.S. perceptual rankings, and it is suggested that in some situations, the accessibility ranking may be a more appropriate measure than other approaches. An examination of journal characteristics and their relationship to holdings in Australian university libraries was also undertaken. It was found that the year in which the journal started publication and its perceived importance within the United States (i.e., perceptual ranking) had a statistical impact on the proportion of Australian university libraries holding the journal.

Abstract: This paper presents selected results from a survey of Canadian academic chemists carried out in March 1996. These focus on the chemists' use of the journal literature and aspects of their experience with new information technologies. A discussion of these issues as they relate to libraries and scholarly communication is included. Résumé: Cet article présente un choix de résultats obtenus lors d'un sondage effectué auprès de chimistes de certaines universités canadiennes au mois de mars 1996. Ces résultats portent sur l'utilisation des périodiques et des nouvelles technologies de l'information. L'article inclut aussi une discussion de ces sujets dans le contexte des bibliothèques universitaires et de la communication savante.
