Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Humanists are still more likely than scientists to start their research in the library itself or via its online catalog—30 percent versus 10 percent—but even among humanists, there is a distinct trend "away from library-specific starting points" and toward network-level discovery via electronic resources, such as Google Scholar or a database of academic journals.

The days of the library as the so-called laboratory of the humanities may be numbered.

"One of the really thought-provoking questions that comes out of this study is whether libraries should continue to invest in locally customized discovery tools or whether those investments are not likely to yield value."

They expressed interest in putting their work in institutional repositories, but less than a third have actually done so.

Faculty seem to distinguish between openness and impact," Mr. Schonfeld said. The biggest incentive remains making an impact among peers, because "that's how the tenure-and-promotion system works."

Mr. Schonfeld called that finding more evidence "that institutional mandates are going to be required" if repositories are to work as their advocates hope.
