Below are four possible starting points for research in academic literature. Typically, when you are conducting academic research, which of these four starting points do you use to begin locating information for your research?
• A specific electronic research resource/computer database• A general purpose search engine on the internet or world wide web• Your online library catalog• The library building

Discovery: A Variety of Sources
81% of faculty members strongly agree with the statement, “When I am looking for journal articles and monographs in the course of my research, I often use a variety of different sources, including the library, scholarly databases, and mainstream search engines.”

Discovery: Known Items vs. Exploration
Known Items: “When you try to locate a specific piece of secondary scholarly literature that you already know about but do not have in hand, how do you most often begin your process?”
Exploration: “When you explore the scholarly literature to find new journal articles and monographs relevant to your research interests, how do you most often begin your process?”

Access to journals not in library’s collection
50% of faculty members strongly agree with the statement: “In my research, I often would like to use journal articles that are not in my library's print or digital collections.”
59% of faculty members strongly agree with the statement: “When I discover journal articles I need for my research that are not in my library’s collections, I can almost always get satisfactory access to these materials elsewhere.”

How important to you is it that your college or university library provide each of the functions below?
• Gateway: “The library serves as a starting point or “gateway” for locating information for my research”
• Buyer: “The library pays for resources I need, from academic journals to books to electronic databases”
• Repository: “The library serves as a repository of resources; in other words, it archives, preserves, and keeps track of resources”
• Teaching Facilitator: “The library supports and facilitates my teaching activities”
• Research Supporter: “The library provides active support that helps to increase the productivity of my research and scholarship”
• Undergraduate Information Literacy Teacher: “The library helps undergraduates develop research, critical analysis, and information literacy skills”

Perceptions of librarians with content online
“Because faculty have easy access to academic content online, the role librarians play at this institution is becoming much less important.”
“Because scholarly material is available electronically, universities should redirect the money spent on library buildings and staff to other needs.”
![Page 40: Findings from the US Faculty Survey 2012 Deanna Marcum New Jersey Library Association | June 5, 2013.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3b641/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Collection Management

The print to electronic transition for journal current issues
“I am completely comfortable with journals I use regularly ceasing their print versions and publishing in electronic-only form”
“If my library cancelled the current issues of a print version of a journal but continued to make them available electronically, that would be fine with me.”
![Page 43: Findings from the US Faculty Survey 2012 Deanna Marcum New Jersey Library Association | June 5, 2013.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3b641/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Libraries can cease collecting print versions
![Page 45: Findings from the US Faculty Survey 2012 Deanna Marcum New Jersey Library Association | June 5, 2013.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3b641/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The print to electronic transition for journal backfiles
“Assuming that electronic versions of journals are proven to work well, I would be happy to see hard copy collections discarded and replaced entirely by electronic collections.”
“Regardless of how safe electronic collections of journals may be, it will always be crucial for some libraries to maintain hard-copy collections of journals.”
![Page 46: Findings from the US Faculty Survey 2012 Deanna Marcum New Jersey Library Association | June 5, 2013.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e485503460f94b3b641/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

A print to electronic transition for monographs?
“You may have had the opportunity to read scholarly monographs in electronic format, either through a library subscription database or standalone e-books. How often have you used scholarly monographs in digital form in the past six months – often, occasionally, rarely, or never?”
