1. Julia Bauder, Grinnell College & Jenny Emanuel, University of Illinois Be Where our Faculty Are: Emerging Technology Use and Faculty Information Seeking Workflows Conclusions No statistical differences between schools…. This research is a small step towards determining what online tools will best serve academic library users in our increasingly digital future. Using this data, it is possible to begin investigating where libraries should integrate their content to be in faculty members’ online workflows, and whether libraries need to be in different Web spaces to reach faculty. Additional research can investigate potential methods for integrating library content into these spaces and assess the impact of such integration. An upcoming survey of students will expand on this research, allowing for comparisons of the online habits of students and faculty. Aim See what tools are faculty are using “Be where our students are” has become a mantra for many academic libraries as they promote library events on Facebook, answer reference questions via text message, and add their digital image collections to Flickr. But what about faculty? How are professors integrating popular emerging technologies into their scholarly workflows, and how can libraries uses those technologies to support faculty information-seeking? Big School vs. Small School We studied two very different schools – a small, private liberal arts college and a research I university, both in the Midwest, to see if there are differences between the two campuses. The research I school is well known for it’s engineering and computer science programs, and technology use is encouraged throughout campus for research, teaching, and other uses. Introduction Method Grinnell College developed a survey titled the “Faculty Reference Preferences Survey” that was administered to faculty in the Spring of 2009. Since Grinnell College is small, the tested sample was small. The researcher sent a call for librarians to repeat the survey at other institutions, to which the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) responded. UIUC adapted the survey to reflect their campus library environment and surveyed non-library faculty in the spring of 2010. Both surveys were conducted online, utilizing survey software licensed by each institution. The survey instrument consisted of 38 questions about the strategies and technologies faculty members use to gather information for research and teaching. All responses were anonymous. Samples of the questions asked: How do you find out about articles in your field? How do you find out about new books in your field? Asked how often individuals used web based tools, including The library website Email Text messaging RSS readers Web portals Online bookstores Social networking tools Google Scholar Wikipedia Asked if faculty would use tools such as A personalized library homepage Email/RSS feeds for new books or journal table of contents Mobile library services – text messaging, website, and library catalog Basic demographic information Full text of the Grinnell College survey is at http://www.grinnell.edu/node/58631/ Demographics/Results Results
