- "I'll Wait Zero Seconds": Faculty Perspectives on Serials Access, Sharing, and Immediacy Rachel E. Scott Anne Shelley Chad E. Buckley Cassie Thayer-Styes Julie A. Murphy Access to Information Publications Library Materials Scholarship Interdisciplinary Approach Academic Libraries Teacher Attitudes Faculty Shared Resources and Services Expectation State Universities Library Services Research Universities Users (Information) Information Seeking User Needs (Information) Time Management Barriers This study explores how faculty across disciplines access and share scholarly serial content and what expectations they have for immediacy. The authors conducted twenty-five in-depth, semi-structured interviews with faculty of various ranks representing all Illinois State University (ISU) colleges. The findings, presented in the words of participants and triangulated with data from local sources, suggest that faculty use a variety of context-specific mechanisms to access and share serial literature. Participants discuss how they use library services such as databases, subscriptions, interlibrary loan, and document delivery, coupled with academic social networks, disciplinary repositories, author websites, and other publicly available sources to obtain the full text of articles, in addition to their manifold considerations for sharing and requesting content. The urgency with which faculty need to gain access to scholarly literature is dependent on intersecting elements of discipline, current projects, how the resource will be used, the perceived competitiveness of the field, career stage, and personal practices. The findings reiterate that scholarly literature remains integral to the research and teaching of faculty even as needs and practices for accessing and sharing it grow more individualized and distributed.
