One goal of this three-phase research project was to collect qualitative data documenting the needs, behaviors, and values of faculty and graduate students as they search for and use library information and to understand better how clusters of scholars use existing information resources. The results of the UC Berkeley survey of faculty and graduate students have made notable strides toward this end. The quantitative measures phase of this study is under the direction of the library’s chief scientist and director of financial planning & administration. It is the venue where the library intends to gather and analyze measures, such as recorded use of collections by various client groups, volume of interlibrary loans processed, use patterns of digital library resources, citation analysis from UC Berkeley faculty and scholars, and cost-per-use data. Once these quantitative data become available and are studied alongside the qualitative data gathered through the Fall 1997 Survey of Library Use and Satisfaction, the library will be in a better position to engage campus faculty and administrators in a dialogue about options and alternatives for allocating funds to support scholarly information systems, to set future planning directions for collections and services, and to determine areas of future emphasis, while keeping the needs, behaviors, and values of the UC Berkeley faculty and students central in library planning and decision making
