Van Scoyoc, Anna M., Cason, Caroline, “The electronic academic library: undergraduate research behavior in a library without books,” Portal: libraries and the academy 6, 1 (Jan 2006): 47-58.

喬治亞州大學的IC服務設於圖書館外的綜合大樓，館員用文卷調查學生在設施內運用電子資源的習慣，發現大部分同學都依靠網上資源和網上教室，而非使用圖書館目錄和數據庫，不同年級的同學並沒有明顯的分別；作者懷疑這與IC設於圖書館外有關。

The Student Learning Center in U. of Georgia is an IC in a separate building.  The study surveyed students’ use habits of electronic resources, and found that UGs rely on web sites and WebCT for research rather than OPAC and subscribed resources.  Academic class status has no significant impact on database and OPAC use.  One factor may be that the facility is not physically in a library.
