Of the faculty respondents who use
e-journals, the majority use them on a monthly, rather than
daily or weekly, basis. A larger percentage of the faculty in
the Sciences and the Library use e-journals on a weekly basis
while faculty in the Health Sciences and University Libraries
had the largest percentages of daily users.
Across the board, a lower percentage of faculty use e-journals
on a daily basis.

A majority of graduate student respondents
indicated using e-journals on a monthly – rather than daily or
weekly – basis. A relatively small percentage used e-journals on
a daily basis. In terms of subject breakdown, Business and
Engineering students bucked the trend by showing slightly more
use on a weekly basis than the other disciplines.

daily basis. Only some of the Business students indicated use on
a daily basis. The number of respondents was particularly low
for this question.
