Research Services and Spaces as Expressions of the Scholarly Information Seeking Habits and Behavior of University Faculty
Abstract
A group of faculty and staff of the Missouri State University (MSU) Libraries, assisted by an anthropologist, conducted a survey and then an ethnographic study using direct observation and semi-structured interviews of a broad sample of MSU faculty members to explore faculty scholarly information seeking habits and behavior. Research questions explored where faculty researched, what they used, and whom they consulted for assistance. Building upon background and findings concerning content in an introductory article, this companion article will discuss findings related to services and spaces used or desired by faculty.
