If the discovery resources available via the library don’t necessarily serve as
the faculty’s starting line for launching cutting-edge research, then what’s
the next step? Published in early 2017, ITHAKA’s US Library Survey of roughly
1,500 institutional libraries indicated a diminishing expectation that the
institutional library will be the starting point for researchers. What does
that suggest for content providers and for library professionals? How does a
library know that faculty are using something else? How can libraries draw upon
that knowledge of researcher preferences to improve their own services?<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">Electronic journals dominate the health sciences library
landscape, but the average library user is more able than ever to access
journal content through channels that obscure the library's role as a content
provider. Despite the improved functionality of centralized indexes of journal
articles offered by library discovery tools, health sciences researchers just
aren't using them. How are researchers finding their way to the library, and
how does the library connect with researchers? <span></span></p>

gauge user engagement with library discovery platforms at a health sciences
