Larson, Scott Access to Information Computer Networks Databases Information Services Information Technology Law Libraries Librarian Attitudes Library Acquisition Library Surveys Nonprint Media On the Job Training Online Systems Optical Data Disks Printed Materials Research Needs Trend Analysis Use Studies User Needs (Information) This study is an attempt to do the following: (1) determine the extent that CD-ROM databases are used by librarians and patrons in Ohio law libraries; (2) define librarian and patron research preferences comparing CD-ROM, print, and online resources; (3) track general trends in law library acquisition of CD-ROM databases; (4) examine the degree of CD-ROM training offered in Ohio law libraries; (5) chart the availability of CD-ROM publications on computer networks in Ohio law libraries; and (6) document librarian opinions concerning the importance of print materials in an environment where duplicate electronic resources such as CD-ROM and online services are available. Research was conducted through a survey mailed to a population of Ohio law librarians. The literature review discusses the general characteristics of CD-ROM databases, the growth in the number of legal titles in CD-ROM format offered annually, and the results of a 1994 survey of CD-ROM usage in New York law libraries. Analysis of the data collected indicates that: CD-ROM is widely and frequently used in Ohio law libraries; it is not used as frequently as print or online resources; there is an increasing trend to offer CD-ROM titles through computer networks to multiple users; librarians endorse retention of print holdings duplicated by CD-ROM; and librarians recognize that CD-ROM is steadily duplicating at least a portion of the print materials in their collections. An appendix contains the survey questionnaire and cover letter, works cited and bibliography. (Contains 14 references.) (Author) |
