Understanding academic patrons’ approaches and preferences to accessing and assessing research content, as well as the factors influencing these decisions, is essential to determining a long range strategy for maintaining a viable service model for the academic library. Library Journal’s 2012 Academic Patron Profiles survey takes an in-depth look at how today’s undergraduates, researchers, and faculty at research institutions, colleges, and community colleges, experience the academic library, based on their actual usage and the perceived value of services provided, and with special emphasis on digital technologies and resources.
