Abstract
Following two previous studies in 2010 and 2013, this study intends to identify current trends of Sam Houston State University students’ technology and communication needs and preferences regarding library services and resources. Drawing comparisons to two previous local studies and national data sets, such as those from Pew Internet Research and the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR), the findings revealed, among other things, a decline in tablet usage and interest, continued need for library computers, and a complex relationship between social media usage and engagement with the library. The results of this survey will inform and guide the library and the profession to most efficiently and effectively offer desired library services and engage students on appropriate social media platforms.
继2010年和2013年的两项研究之后,本研究旨在确定山姆休斯顿州立大学学生对图书馆服务和资源的技术和通信需求和偏好的当前趋势。通过对比皮尤互联网研究中心(Pew Internet Research)和EDUCAUSE分析研究中心(EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research, ECAR)之前的两项地方性研究和全国性数据集,研究结果显示,平板电脑的使用和兴趣有所下降,对图书馆电脑的需求仍在继续,以及社交媒体使用与图书馆参与之间的复杂关系。这项调查的结果将为图书馆和专业人士提供信息和指导,以最有效地提供所需的图书馆服务,并在适当的社交媒体平台上吸引学生。
