Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources
| Title: | Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources (ID: CSD4347) | | Topics: | Information Discovery and Retrieval, Information Literacy, Internet Use, Libraries and Technology, Search Engines | | Origin: | Community Contributions (2005) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources (2005) summarizes findings of an international study on information-seeking habits and preferences.
The Perceptions report provides the findings and responses from the online survey in an effort to learn more about:
* Library use
* Awareness and use of library electronic resources
* The Internet search engine, the library and the librarian
* Free vs. for-fee information
* The "Library" brand
The findings indicate that information consumers view libraries as places to borrow print books, but they are unaware of the rich electronic content they can access through libraries. Even though information consumers make limited use of these resources, they continue to trust libraries as reliable sources of information. | | View this resource: | |
