Patricia Fravel Vander Meer, Howard Poole, and Thomas Van Valey,
Are Library Users Also Computer Users? A Survey of Faculty and
Implications for Services
Over 300 faculty members at Western Michigan University
answered a survey which was conducted to explore the
relationship between faculty use of university libraries and
faculty use of computers. Faculty who are regular library
users were found to be the same faculty who are using common
computer applications. Conversely, it appears that faculty
who do not use the library regularly are, for the most part,
not using computers. Implications for libraries are
discussed in relation to the findings--in the areas of
computer databases, faculty assistance, collaboration with
computing staff, and marketing of electronic services.

Editorial
----------------------------------------------------------------
By Pat Ensor and Thomas C. Wilson
Welcome to the first issue of Public-Access Computer Systems
Review for the year 1997. And welcome to the first issue edited
by Pat Ensor and Tom Wilson. The founder of the PACS Review and
a pioneer in electronic journal publication, Charles Bailey has
decided to pass responsibility for the journal to us, and in
this, he does us a great honor. We hope to continue in an
outstanding tradition by maintaining a vital scholarly electronic
journal which contributes to the literature of library and
information science.
PACS Review is published by the University of Houston
Libraries, where Pat Ensor is the Head of Information Services
and Tom Wilson is the Head of Systems. Rob Spragg, Systems
Librarian at University of Houston Libraries, has recently become
Associate Editor for Technical Production. The editorial team
does not plan profound changes in a very successful publication.
In the next couple of years, we plan to make intellectual access
to information on the Internet a theme, and we want to bring you
new columnists.
The aim of PACS Review continues to be to publish articles
about "end-user computer systems in libraries." We hope that you
continue to read, to respond, and to submit articles; we welcome
your input.
The beginning of a different era in the publication of PACS
Review comes to us mixed with profound sadness and loss at the
death of Paul Evan Peters, a longtime member of the PACS Review
Editorial Board. Not only a pillar of the library and
information science communities, Paul also touched many lives
personally and deeply. This issue is dedicated to him.
