Abstract:
In 2003, an evaluation of journal use statistics at Washington State
University was undertaken to determine if the selection of electronic
journals in the Owen Science and Engineering Library was changing student
and researchers choice of journals. Use statistics showed that most print
journals were being used more than they were prior to the advent of
electronic journals. Generally, electronic journals were used heavily and
the availability of electronic format greatly enhanced the total use of most
titles. However, some electronic journals were used little or not at all,
and there was a substantial increase in the use of some print titles.
