In this article, the discovery and use of digital newspaper collections are explored by capitalizing on a natural experiment that arose when five California State University libraries activated the Primo newspapers search interface, and five other libraries with similar enrollment numbers and comparable demographic profiles did not. By analyzing Primo Analytics data, COUNTER R4 data, and A-Z database list click-through data collected from the ten libraries over the course of academic years (AY) 2018-2019 (pre-deployment) and AY 2019-2020 (post-deployment), the effects on usage and legible user behavior of introducing a specialized Primo newspaper scope are calculated. Researchers explore how this research method can be a model for libraries to investigate trends within their own organizations.
older materials but focus on newer fiction and audiovisual popular items. Wal-Mart stores have many displays and signs to entice the browsing shopper to pick up and purchase items. Similarly public libraries display new titles and offer themed item displays to entice patrons to check out materials. Public libraries also provide "shopping lists" in the form of booklists or pathfinders on topics. Academic libraries more like a mall While public libraries are like the local Wal-Mart store, academic libraries are like the mall. Academic libraries have larger collections, more physical space, special collections, services, a variety of specialty stores, departments, desks, and offer breadth and depth to academic topics. Often as a public librarian, I have recommended that college students go to their academic libraries for more resources, primary documents, and greater selection of online databases.
