contents Validation of the Visitor and Resident Framework in an E-Book Setting Engelsmann, Hazel C. Greifeneder, Elke Lauridsen, Nikoline D. Nielsen, Anja G. Books Electronic Publishing Use Studies Academic Libraries Research Libraries Users (Information) Questionnaires Semi Structured Interviews Behavior Computer Literacy Foreign Countries Introduction: By applying the visitor and resident framework on e-book usage, the article explores whether the concepts of a resident and a visitor can help to explain e-book use, and can help to gain a better insight into users' motivations for e-book use. Method: A questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were conducted with users of the Social Science Faculty Library, at the University of Copenhagen. Analysis: The empirical data were discussed on the basis of a modified e-book visitor and resident framework. Conclusion: The results showed that the framework can be applied to an e-book context and that it helped to investigate users' behaviour in a new light and to understand better some of the difficulties users meet when they interact with e-books. It is unclear how much the framework can be used to predict user's behaviour in relation to e-books and can ultimately prognoses usage trends.
