Introduction
The survey shows that 7 CLAS faculty members replied. Most faculty research is online and they like to access content online. There were some CLAS comments concerning mobile access. Library is aware of ease of use on an iPad and most android devices are ok but may pose some issues; eReaders pose lots of issues. An email follow-up was sent out to all CLAS faculty asking which journals they may find the library is lacking, in response to the comment about our lack of European journals.
