Impact on student research |
Student research papers/projects will primarily reference resources other than ebooks |
Student research papers/projects occasionally reference ebooks, 0-5 titles per project, depending on the subject area (some fields draw almost exclusively on journals, for example) |
Students not only use ebooks for research papers and projects, they make creative use of them external to papers and projects (accessing them during live presentations, for example) |
Interviews with faculty; Student focus groups |
