77.1%) said they could not judge, the majority of remaining respondents rated electronic journals inferior to most print journals. Some felt that electronic journals were improving, but 85% said they could not judge.3 Ease of use also affects whether or not sources will be used. Reading on a screen is a common problem for users. Richardson7 found that none of his survey respondents appeared to have read articles on the screen. Schauder8 found that 75% of respondents preferred to read printouts. Simpson9 observed similar results. The Super Journal Project in the UK10 surveyed contributors to electronic journals about their perceptions of advantages and disadvantages of publishing in electronic journals. The greatest advantages of electronic journals were found to be easy access, convenience, search capabilities, direct access and better-than-photocopy printouts; the greatest disadvantages were slow access, breadth or depth of journal coverage, reading on screen, poor graphics or presentation, and access problems. When respondents in Association of Research Libraries (ARL) institution business schools were asked to rate their awareness of electronic journals, most respondents placed themselves on the middle to lower end of the awareness scale.5 These results are partially reflected in use of electronic journals by these respondents: over 40% claim they rarely use electronic journals while another third of them say they never do. Lenares11 also reports that 54% of academics in her 1999 survey ‘did not know of respected e-journals in my field’, down from 61% in the previous year. Still, overall, awareness of electronic journals grew throughout the 1990s. In 2001, Rogers12 found that over half of the faculty and graduate student respondents to her survey use electronic journals and that acceptance of these alternative media is growing. Also in 2001, Brown13 surveyed physicists and astronomers who use the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) arXiv.org service and observed that the majority (67%) of respondents use preprints or e-prints for the same reason many scientists use print journal articles (i.e. research support, current awareness and fact-finding).
