- Abstract
- This article describes a broad framework for examining economic aspects of the Internet. The framework consists of 4 sets of processes, services, and participants, including information creation, use, communication (the Internet communications infrastructure), and value-added information processes (the Internet information infrastructure). Each process (or service) involves several economic measures (input cost, output, use, and outcomes) and relationships among these measures (unit cost, proce/demand, cost and benefit, etc.) Examples of economic aspects are given for all 4 sets of processes which emphasize the environment with which ASIS members primarily deal: Electronic publishing, secondary information services, and library services

- Abstract
- Surveys of the members of the American Astronomical Society identify how astronomers use journals and what features and formats they prefer. While every work field is distinct, the patterns of use by astronomers may provide a glimpse of what to expect of journal patterns and use by other scientists. Astronomers, like other scientists, continue to invest a large amount of their time in reading articles and place a high level of importance an journal articles. They use a wide variety of formats and means to get access to materials that are essential to their work in teaching, service, and research. They select access means that are convenient-whether those means be print, electronic, or both. The availability of a mature electronic journals system from their primary professional society has surely influenced their early adoption of e-journals.

- Abstract
- Purpose - By tracking the information-seeking and reading patterns of science, technology, medical and social science faculty members from 1977 to the present, this paper seeks to examine how faculty members locate, obtain, read, and use scholarly articles and how this has changed with the widespread availability of electronic journals and journal alternatives. Design/methodology/approach - Data were gathered using questionnaire surveys of university faculty and other researchers periodically since 1977. Many questions used the critical incident of the last article reading to allow analysis of the characteristics of readings in addition to characteristics of readers. Findings - The paper finds that the average number of readings per year per science faculty member continues to increase, while the average time spent per reading is decreasing. Electronic articles now account for the majority of readings, though most readings are still printed on paper for final reading. Scientists report reading a higher proportion of older articles from a wider range of journal titles and more articles from library e-collections. Articles are read for many purposes and readings are valuable to those purposes. Originality/value - The paper draws on data collected in a consistent way over 30 years. It provides a unique look at how electronic journals and other developments have influenced changes in reading behavior over three decades. The use of critical incidence provides evidence of the value of reading in addition to reading patterns.

- Abstract
- Finally Belefant-Miller and King analyze the demographic portion of a survey of faculty and staff at the University of Tennessee to determine reading and information use behavior. Faculty each read an average 384 documents per year for their work including an average 161 journal articles. They funded 84% of their own subscriptions, and averaged 4.2 subscriptions per person. Personal computer access was available to 91.5% and 95% made some use of it. About half access e-mail more than once a day spending an average 24 minutes a day. Browsing remains a very important means of document discovery despite the use of universal bibliographic databases. Paper remains the preferred reading interface, with electronic reading about one quarter of paper readings. Self reported publication rates were 3 journal articles per year.
