摘要:An extraordinarily interesting and somewhat paradoxical pattern is
revealed in comparing trends in use statistics in academic versus
public libraries over the past decade or so. According to Martell [1]
there has been a decline in circulation and reference services statistics at some
academic libraries since 1995. Although the evidence does not completely
support Carlson’s bleak prophesies [2], Martell concludes that the “value of
electronic resources may already have eclipsed that of physical resources”
(p. 443).
