Faculty Views of Open Web Resource Use by College Students
Tomaiuolo, Nicholas G.
Journal of Academic Librarianship, v31 n6 p559-566 Nov 2005
This article assesses both the extent of students' use of open Web resources and library subscription databases and professors' satisfaction with that use as reported by a survey of 120 community college and university English faculty. It was concluded that although library budgets allocate significant funds to offer subscription databases, students often use Web resources that most faculty find acceptable at best, and often suspect.
