许多关于工程师信息寻求习惯的研究都集中在理解科学家和工程师之间的异同。本研究探讨了20所公立研究型大学学术工程学院的信息寻求行为。这项调查包括检查工程学院寻求或获取信息的频率，他们如何跟上该领域的最新发展并找到较不最新的期刊文章，他们亲自访问图书馆的频率，以及图书馆服务和资源在满足他们的信息需求方面的重要性。调查参与者的回答强调了电子访问当前和存档的学术期刊对于满足工程学院的研究和信息需求的重要性。
Many studies of information-seeking habits of engineers focus on understanding the similarities and differences between scientists and engineers. This study explores the information-seeking behavior of academic engineering faculty from twenty public research universities. This investigation includes an examination of how frequently engineering faculty seek or access information, how they keep abreast of current developments in the field and find less recent journal articles, how often they visit the library in person, and how important library services and resources are in meeting their information needs. The responses from the survey participants emphasize the importance of electronic access to current and archived scholarly journals for meeting the research and information needs of engineering faculty.
