Network Analysis of Library Usage by Faculty, Staff, and APs at UIUC

This study investigates the library usage patterns of faculty, staff, and academic professionals at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) through social network analysis. Data was mined from a survey conducted in Spring 2006, capturing responses regarding primary library usage. The resulting network maps illustrate connections between departmental libraries from the users' perspective, highlighting significant usage overlaps and revealing insights into inter-library relationships based on respondent behavior.
