Scholarly Use of the Internet by Faculty Members: Factors
and Outcomes of Change
Paul David Henry
New York University
Abstract
A quantitative survey of faculty members in a
research university setting examined how they are using the Internet in
their scholarly work:
contacting colleagues, gathering support, conducting research,
disseminating knowledge, and publishing results. Contacting colleagues
was
the aspect of scholarly work that was most supported by Internet
use. There were moderate correlations for conducting research and
disseminating knowledge with the presence of works online and
published articles. Extent and scope of communications were found to
increase
with years of use, but use decreased with years of age. There was
moderate support for organizational and environmental factors in
contacting
colleagues.
