As a result, faculty discovery practices across all disciplines have continued their marked shift to the network level. This key finding has important implications for resource providers and libraries alike.

Faculty members are reducing their usage of local library services for discovery purposes and, as a result, put less value on the library’s traditional intellectual value-added role as a gateway to information.
