The purpose of this study is to document and understand the impact of journal cancellations on the information seeking behaviors of faculty at UNC - Chapel Hill. We are interested in studying the impacts and aftereffects of "Big Deal" cancellation, such as 1) What are the faculty search behaviors when they want to access materials that are not licensed through their university library? 2) What alternative resources do they go to? 3) How much effort do they put in to find known items that are not licensed by their library?
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
