Factors influencing undergraduate use of e-books: A mixed methods study

Academic libraries invest millions of dollars to make electronic resources such as e-books available to students for free. However, free access might not necessarily result in students' sustained interest in and use of e-books. This interdisciplinary, mixed methods research investigates the factors influencing the intention of 279 undergraduate students to use e-books at a land-grant university in the southern US. Structural equation modeling of the survey responses suggests that organizational environment for information technology, external locus of control, subjective norm, perceived enjoyment (i.e., joyfulness), and information technology features play a significant role in influencing the intention of students to use e-books. Based on a combination of quantitative results and qualitative findings, this study identifies eight activities that libraries need to undertake in order to increase the use of e-books by undergraduate students.     

Investigating married adults’ communal coping with genetic health risk and perceived discrimination

Increased genetic testing in personalized medicine presents unique challenges for couples, including managing disease risk and potential discrimination as a couple. This study investigated couples’ conflicts and support gaps as they coped with perceived genetic discrimination. We also explored the degree to which communal coping was beneficial in reducing support gaps and ultimately stress. Dyadic analysis of married adults (N?=?266, 133 couples), in which one person had the genetic risk for serious illness, showed that perceived discrimination predicted more frequent conflicts about alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related treatment, privacy boundaries, and finances, which, in turn, predicted wider gaps in emotion and esteem support, and greater stress for both spouses. Communal coping predicted lower support gaps for both partners and marginally lower stress.     

中日印韩四国2011—2015年国际顶级期刊论文产出状况及国际地位对比分析

为了研究科研成果高水平论文产出状况,了解中日印韩四国近五年在国际顶级期刊(Cell、Nature、Science,CNS)论文产出以及国际地位变化,利用Web of Science统计2011—2015年中日印韩在CNS论文产出情况和国际地位变化.研究发现:我国与日本并驾齐驱,并大有赶超日本的趋势,二者约占四国论文总数的80％;印度和韩国仅占20％.国际排名则中日较为靠前,期间中国增长最为迅速,印度和韩国保持相对稳定,日本增长最低.我国2011—2015年CNS论文产出增长势头明显,相关系数呈正相关,并在2015年全面超越日本并进一步拉开差距,在四国当中首屈一指,但以后可能进入一种新常态模式,为此提出两点建议期望能保持高质量论文中高速增长.
