Description:
Researchers
and students expect seamless access to full-text sources and
are confident in their own ability to find and use
information. The ways people acquire information are changing
from national to global, linear to linked and print to
digital. However, being able to critically evaluate and select
information is much more difficult than being able to find
information that will satisfice the need; therefore, creating
an opportunity for education and support. Librarians need to
develop new ways of providing services and systems to meet the
needs of library users and to attract library non-users. Dr.
Lynn Silipigni Connaway will discuss the common themes and
findings of multiple US and UK user behaviour studies to help
librarians make informed decisions.
Speaker: Lynn Silipigni Connaway,
Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, OCLC
