- Abstract
- Based on an e-mail survey administered to faculty members at two universities in the USA, the author found that there were positive relationships between e-mail use and such variables as specialty and experience with computers. Negative correlation, however, existed between age and the use of e-mail. The majority of the faculty members (92%) included in the current study used e-mail in scientific communication, and they preferred e-mail as a communication channel to other otions (e.g. telephone, fax). They also pointed out that improvements were needed should e-mail be used more extensively for scholarly purposes in the academia
