The purpose of this study was to explore and investigate the ways faculty at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign use Networked Information Sources And Services to support their research task. Library and Information Sciences faculty at the University of Illinois were chosen as the population for this study. The study aimed to answer the following questions: (1) What are the main academic research activities the faculty performs? (2) To what degree does each faculty member depend on Networked Information Sources and Services? (3) What are the main reasons for using Networked Information Sources and Services and (4) What characteristics of electronic sources limit using of Networked Information Sources and Services? The Web based Questionnaire was the main tool for collecting data.

(A bibliography is included. Three appendixes include: Formal Email; (2) Paper-Based Questionnaire; and (3) Web-Based Questionnaire. Contains 13 figures and 10 tables.)
