Faculty Survey
Faculty only – This was not a survey of graduate students or undergraduate students.– How might student (or librarian) responses vary from
the responses of faculty? US only – We were unable to include faculty
from other countries – How might responses from faculty in Taiwan differ
from the US-specific findings?
Colleges and universities that grant the Bachelor’s Degree or higher – We did not include technical or teaching colleges.

Conclusions

Conclusions: Access to Resources
Electronic resources continue to be important to faculty.
Scientists use electronic resources more than other faculty, but there is significant disciplinary variation even within the humanities.
The library “gateway” role is more important to humanists than to other faculty. For scientists, electronic resources are the starting-point for research.
![Page 34: Bruce Heterick, Director of Library Relations CONCERT 2004 Taipei, Taiwan November 11, 2004](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e0c5503460f94af4586/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Conclusions: Archiving
Electronic archiving is important to all. Most faculty want to see hard-copies retained somewhere; but many continue to call for local retention.
Even stronger affinity for archiving in the larger universities than in the smaller institutions.
The importance of the library’s archiving function has, as was anticipated, declined somewhat, and is expected to decline further.
