摘要

目的本研究旨在探讨本科学生在图书馆使用、认知和平均绩点(GPA)方面是否存在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科与非STEM学科之间的差异。设计/方法/方法本研究使用了2018年学生调查的数据。在完成调查的2277名学生中(回复率为8%),本研究只选择了本科生(n = 1265),因为本研究旨在研究STEM和非STEM本科生之间的差异。曼-惠特尼U测试的结果显示,STEM受访者对特定图书馆资源(学科和课程指南、图书馆说明和图书馆研讨会)的理解略低于非STEM受访者。方差分析的结果表明,从未使用在线图书馆、期刊和数据库的STEM受访者的平均GPA分数低于使用这些图书馆资源的受访者,无论是STEM学科还是非STEM学科。原创性/价值访问收集的数据并分析特定的用户群体对学术图书馆来说是有价值的,因为这项研究将使学术图书馆员更深入地了解特定用户的需求和对图书馆资源和服务的看法。

STEM undergraduate students: library use, perceptions and GPA
PurposeThis study aims to examine if differences exist in undergraduate students' library use, perceptions and grade point average (GPA) among science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and non-STEM disciplines.Design/methodology/approachThe current study used data from the 2018 student survey. Among 2,277 students who completed the survey (response rate = 8%), only undergraduate students (n = 1,265) were selected for this study because the current study aims to examine the differences between STEM and non-STEM undergraduate students.FindingsThe findings from a Mann–Whitney U test revealed that STEM respondents perceived specific library resources (subject and course guide, library instructions and library workshops) as slightly less than non-STEM respondents. The results from ANOVA demonstrated that the mean scores in GPA for STEM respondents who never used online library, journals and databases were lower than respondents who used those library resources, regardless of STEM and non-STEM disciplines.Originality/valueRevisiting the data collected and analyzing specific user groups will be valuable to academic libraries because this study will provide academic librarians with a deeper understanding of specific user needs and perceptions of library resources and services.
