- Abstract
The article provides information on a research about the use of library services among Spanish faculty. It states that the research aims to determine the differences among science faculties in using library services and to allow libraries to match their services to the users. It mentions that survey results, personal interviews, and log analysis were used in the study. Results show a similarity between pure science and life science groups' virtual services. It also presents the differences among library services and interests in value-added library services. It adds that the Jaccard similarity index was used to identify the relation between the variables. Moreover, it highlights the need for librarians to provide quality services and know their habits and characteristics.
