Book excerpt: This study looks at frequency of use of library photocopiers; it also provides data comparing library patron production of print and digital copies in academic libraries. The study also looks at the overall level of satisfaction with library photocopiers and scanners, furnishing data on how often they are used and by whom, enhancing the quality of decision making over their future placement, servicing and overall use. This 77-page study is based on data from a survey of 806 higher education faculty randomly chosen from nearly 500 colleges and universities in the USA. Data is broken out by personal variables such as work title, gender, personal income level, academic discipline, age and other variables, as well as institutional indicators such as college or university type or Carnegie class, enrollment size, public or private status and others. Readers can compare the number of copies made by faculty in law or medicine to that in the social sciences, for example, or to business faculty. Also, use of library scanners by associate professors can be compared to that for full professors, or use by faculty aged 60 or over to that of faculty aged 31-39. Just a few of this report's many findings are that: ?8.93% of survey respondents save or otherwise make copies of digital materials from their academic libraries every day.?About 25% of faculty are only somewhat satisfied or dissatisfied with their academic library's photocopiers and related policies.?Faculty in law and education are the most avid users of library photocopiers.
