Fine, Sara Adoption (Ideas) Correlation Higher Education Interviews Library Automation Library Education Library Schools National Surveys Predictor Variables Science and Society Student Attitudes Teacher Attitudes Technological Literacy The second phase of a 1977 University of Pittsburgh research study that focused on the resistance to technology in libraries, this parallel study of library school students and faculty continued the investigation to determine: (1) the extent to which technological transformation of library systems will tend to encounter resistance as preprofessional students enter the profession; (2) the behavioral, attitudinal, environmental, and demographic variables that may be significantly related to resistance by students; and (3) the extent to which the library school experience is designed to enhance the adaptability of students to professional change. The study, which involved a national survey of students and faculty of accredited U.S. library programs, was developed based on a behavioral sciences model. The first of two chapters in this report outlines the background, methodology, and research design of the study. The second chapter analyzes the results of the student mail survey, the faculty mail survey, and the institutional survey. Additional survey materials and the results of data analyses are provided in nine appendices, 12 tables, and three figures. (SD) |
