    Taking Our Pulse: The OCLC Research Survey of Special Collections and Archives

    Taking Our Pulse: The OCLC Research Survey of Special Collections and Archives

    1 October 2020

    Jackie M. Dooley, Katherine Luce

    Special collections and archives are increasingly seen as elements of distinction that serve to differentiate an academic or research library from its peers. As this OCLC Research report reveals, however, much rare and unique material remains undiscoverable, and monetary resources are shrinking at the same time that user demand is growing. The balance sheet is both encouraging and sobering.

    Perceptions of Libraries, 2010: Context and Community

    Perceptions of Libraries, 2010: Context and Community

    19 January 2011

    Cathy De Rosa, Joanne Cantrell, Matthew Carlson, Peggy Gallagher, Janet Hawk, Charlotte Sturtz

    In this new report, OCLC explores how changing contexts impact perceptions and behaviors concerning libraries and information sources. In 2005, OCLC published Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources, a report on how information consumers perceive of and use libraries, search engines, Web sites and other emerging information sources. Five years later, the technology and economic environments are vastly different, and the information consumer is even more empowered. Americans have made lifestyle changes during the recent recession. They are spending less in some areas while not sacrificing in others. And they are using libraries to help fill some of the gaps for items and services they can no longer afford.

    Learn what has changed in the past five years and what perspectives and behaviors remain the same.
