End-User Acceptance of Electronic Journals

Abstract This article reports the results of a survey of Texas A&M University faculty use of electronic journals to determine their acceptance of the journals. Three hundred and fifty faculty were selected. The survey instrument included questions concerning the preferred format of journals (paper versus electronic); the reasons faculty were or were not using e-journals; and faculty concerns about e-journals. Faculty were also asked about other journal format choices for library collections and individual subscriptions. The findings suggest Texas A&M faculty are cautiously optimistic about electronic journals but unwilling to forego print journals.
