[Sloan, Bernie]

I just noticed that there is also a brief article on this report in the
latest issue of the Educause Review:

Greenstein, Daniel, and Leigh Watson Healey. Print and Electronic
Information: Shedding New Light on campus Use. Educause Review, 37(5),
16-17. September/October 2002.

An interesting article in the Chronicle of Higher Education...

An excerpt:

"An expansive study of the information-gathering habits of students and
faculty members has found that they first turn to online materials, although
most view print as a more reliable source of information."
