Conversations with Chemists: Information-Seeking Behavior of Chemistry Faculty in the Electronic Age

Titre: Conversations with Chemists: Information-Seeking Behavior of Chemistry Faculty in the Electronic Age
Description: Six faculty members in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at Austin were interviewed one-on-one to gather information about their information-seeking behavior, favored resources, and opinions about the transition from a print to an electronic information environment. In most cases, these chemistry faculty members have eagerly embraced the enhanced access to chemical information made possible by the steady addition of electronic journals and networked database systems. The most-cited benefits include significant time-saving and convenience as well as access to more journals than ever. As a result, use of the physical library and its printed collections by faculty is declining. Chemistry faculty interviewed expressed a strong self-reliance in their information-seeking skills and showed sophistication in their choice of tools.
