Abstract:
The contents and characteristics of the services of a national electronic
library, the FinELIb, were studied in relation to their use. The indicator
of the use of the digital library material was the number of printed
articles per journal in a year. The sites characterized as e-journals
provide developed services utilizing the hypertext structure, 'outlinks',
and the possibility of navigating between different materials, and, at least
to a certain degree, maintain the structure of a traditional scientific
journal. In services characterized as article files, the hypertext structure
is utilised less and the unit of information delivered is an article.
E-journals are used more heavily, but the article files outnumber them in
the number of journals they offer. The services of e-journals and article
files complement each other.
