Academic Staff and Use of Electronic Library Resources: Preliminary Results of the Study at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek

Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Osijek (FHSSUO) devotes relatively large portion of the library budget to the electronic database subscription. However, the annual library statistics suggest that the database use is low and significantly below expectations. Students and academic staff continue to prefer Google over them. A study was designed in order to understand what role the electronic scholarly databases play in the professional life of the FHSSUO academic staff. The study showed that 63.6% of the respondents had inexperienced database searching skills and that 67.1% of them used databases indicating reasons such as reliable source of information, quality publications, full-text publications.
