- E-Book Information Behaviors and Formats among Graduate Students in Information Sciences Tracy, Daniel G. Books Electronic Publishing Graduate Students Information Science Web Browsers Printed Materials Information Retrieval Distance Education Intellectual Disciplines Users (Information) Preferences Information Needs User Satisfaction (Information) Behavior Patterns On Campus Students Reader Text Relationship This study reports on a survey of students in information sciences designed to test differences related to e-book formats and other factors. The results from 161 respondents suggest that strategic decision-making shapes use of different e-book and print format options for users who already have significant exposure to e-books. These format options include use in a browser, a downloaded pdf, an e-pub, or a printout. While distance student status related to reported use of library e-books, disciplinary background did not. On the other hand, experience in various fields of scholarship correlated to specific tasks pursued when using e-books, but distance status largely did not. These results suggest ways to tailor local and cooperative e-book collection strategies and related services for academic users.
