    Diversity and Inclusion at UMD Libraries Survey Results
    (2015) Chadley, Otis; Edwards, Jamie; Epps, Sharon; Garritano, Jeremy; Horbal, Andrew; McDonald, Celina Nichols; Sorrell, Cynthia; Tchangalova, Nedelina; Wheeler, Lisa
    The Diversity Advisory Committee (DAC) conducted a Diversity Climate Assessment Survey in order to assess the diversity health of the University of Maryland Libraries. The survey was initially conducted for three weeks in July-August, 2014 and re-activated, per Dean Steele’s instructions, for another week in September to get as good a view of diversity issues in the Libraries as possible. This DAC snapshot reports findings on how library faculty, staff and student workers perceive the current state of diversity and inclusion within the Libraries. It also provides information about what organizational changes, training, and programs will be most beneficial to the library staff.

    This Powerpoint presentation and accompanying bibliography were created for the Libraries as Digital Crossroads Tenth Annual Collection Development Symposium, May 19, 2003. The presentation summarizes the presenter's own research (with Irma Dillon) investigating University of Maryland Faculty members' behaviors and preferences with regard to electronic journals. The presentation also summarizes results from three other recent research projects investigating similar questions. The other three research efforts summarized are: (1) Tenopir and King, 2002, Reading behaviour and electronic journals. Learned Publishing. 15(4):259-266. Reports on reading behavior of natural and social scientists at the University of Tennessee and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

    Are Researchers Ready For The Electronic-Only Journal Collection?
    (portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2002-07) Dillon, Irma; Hahn, Karla
    This article discusses a web-based survey conducted by the University of Maryland Libraries in the spring of 2001. The survey was distributed among university faculty and graduate students to determine their views on and use of electronic journals. Staff at the Libraries hoped to discover information that would suggest how best to manage collections to serve the university community efficiently. The survey adds two new dimensions to previous studies of electronic journal usage. First, it examines the respondents' current use of print journals in library collections and second, distinguishes between respondents' format preferences for those journals that are most central to their research and teaching activities as well as less important titles.
