Description:
Researchers and students expect seamless access to full-text sources and
are confident in their own ability to find and use information. The ways
people acquire information are changing from national to global, linear
to linked and print to digital. However, being able to critically
evaluate and select information is much more difficult than being able
to find information that will satisfice the need; therefore, creating an
opportunity for education and support. Librarians need to develop new
ways of providing services and systems to meet the needs of library
users and to attract library non-users. Dr. Lynn Silipigni Connaway will
discuss the common themes and findings of multiple US and UK user
behaviour studies to help librarians make informed decisions.
Speaker: Lynn Silipigni Connaway, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, OCLC
