This study looks at how often academics use the libraries of other institutions, and in general how aware are scholars about arrangements allowing them to use other academic libraries. The study also presents data on faculty satisfaction with their access to the libraries of other institutions. In an era of extensive cross-institution scholarly collaboration, the report also details the satisfaction level of faculty with the ease with which faculty from other institutions can use the home libraries of their collaborators.This study is based on data from a survey of 806 higher education faculty randomly chosen from nearly 500 colleges and universities in the USA. Data is broken out by personal variables such as work title, gender, personal income level, academic discipline, age and other variables, as well as institutional indicators such as college or university type or Carnegie class, enrollment size, public or private status and others.
