[LM_NET] TARGET: 24/7 catalog access and increase in circulation

[Jan Adams <jadams@CESA10.K12.WI.US>]

Hello,

Have any empirical studies been done related to 24/7 access to the
school library catalog (home access via the web)? I am particularly
interested in how it may impact book circulation. 

 

If your students can access your catalog from home, have you noticed an
increase in circulation? If so, how much and what grade band (elem,
middle, hs)?

 

Thank you.
