There were some differences in how each group
responded to the question of whether or not they use e-journals.
Graduate students were the more frequent users at 89%. The
percentage of positive responses from undergraduate students and
staff were similar at 72% and 68%, respectively. Faculty had the
lowest percentage of use (58%). |

It is interesting that while 82% of the faculty respondents gave the highest ratings (4 or 5) to e-journals, only 58% indicated they actually use e-journals. A much higher percentage of faculty in Education, Engineering, Health Sciences, Sciences, and the Library use e-journals than do not while a much higher percentage of Fine Arts faculty do not use e-journals. The faculty in Business, Humanities, and the Social Sciences are more evenly split as to whether or not they use e-journals.

A very high percentage of graduate student respondents indicated a use of e-journals – nearly 90%. The high use was relatively consistent across disciplines with the lowest percentage of use among Fine Arts and Humanities students.

Overall, 72% of the undergraduate respondents indicated they used e-journals. More students in all subject divisions used e-journals than not except for the Sciences. Again, the relatively low number of respondents makes it difficult to see trends across subject divisions.
