Colleagues may find this recent publication from the Reseach Information
Network interesting; 'E-journals: their use, value and impact'.
According to the blurb it “takes an in-depth look at how researchers in the
UK use electronic journals, the value they bring to universities and
research institutions and the contribution they make to research
productivity, quality and outcomes.”
Of particular interest to IL practitioners are perhaps the findings on
“information-seeking behaviour”.
The report can be accessed via the RIN website which is
