Dear All

Jenny Coombs from the University of Nottingham in England posted the below on the local listserv but Jenny and I were wondering if there were any statistics available from colleagues around the world?

Please can you answer Jenny directly who is copied into this email:

Hi everyone

We are trying to find some evidence that suggests science and engineering students use of libraries may be lower than those of other disciplines and a trawl through the published literature isn't finding very much about library usage by discipline.

We are wondering whether anyone knows of any literature on this subject area or has done any studies themselves that may back up this assumption or otherwise!

Many thanks
Jenny
