Scientists and Literature

UPDATE:
AAAS link for presentation appears to be dead and no alternative has been posted.

At the 30th Annual AAAS Forum on Science & Technology Policy, Dr. Carol Tenopir (Professor of Information Sciences at the University of Tennessee) gave a presentation, titled "What Scientists Really Need Regarding Publishing and Access." She highlighted studies that showed scientists are reading more in less time, relying on the technology to locate articles rather than browsing complete journal issues, and making decisions based on convenience.
