Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to present an investigation of the extent to which electronic resources are utilized in higher education in Australia. It seeks to explore the pattern and trend of accessing and using electronic resources in a university library for helping university libraries manage their resources better. This leads to the identification of the underlying motivation for such emerging patterns and trends in the use of electronic resources in the university library. It also aims to identify the critical factors for the effective and efficient use of electronic resources. Design/methodology/approach -An online survey was conducted to investigate the use of electronic resources in a university library and for identifying the emerging pattern and trend in accessing and using electronic resources. A comprehensive review of the relevant literature was carried out on the utilization of electronic resources, which led to the development of an online survey instrument with respect to the user profile, the frequency of use, the purpose of use, the reasons for use, and the critical factors for the effective and efficient use of electronic resources in a university library. Findings -The study reveals that the usage of electronic resources is common in a university environment with the rapid advance of information and communication technologies. It shows that the use of electronic resources is very much dependent on the user and the purposes of using electronic resources. The awareness and the quality of the available electronic resources are the two important factors for the effective and efficient use of electronic resources. The findings shed light on the use of electronic resources and help university libraries to understand better the perception and experience of users in using electronic resources, leading to more effective and efficient use of electronic resources.Research limitations/implications -The online survey was conducted in one university with a student population of about 57,000. It is a purposeful survey in which 305 valid responses to the survey were obtained. The survey was distributed through the university weekly news bulletin. As a result, the response rate to this survey is hard to determine owing to the insufficient information on the size of the real population in the survey. This is due to the fact that not everyone in a university will pay attention to every news item in the weekly bulletin. Originality/value -The paper provides, for the first time, empirical data for understanding the perception and experience of users on the use of electronic resources in a university environment. It identifies the critical factors for the effective and efficient use of electronic resources. Such findings are of practical significance for the continuous development of electronic resources in a higher education environment.

“…Cooper also designed a model, for user's time and the process, it adopted cluster analysis and time series analysis, and found that the query number, time, results number, result number of different users had different characteristics (Hollmann, Ardö & Stenström, 2007). Through data analysis, it understood and mastered the characteristics of digital library users, predicted the future trend to study the behavior law of digital library users.…”

Technological development has brought dramatic changes in the management, retrieving and dissemination of information. Information technology has influenced positively on library and information systems, services and protection of library resources for users. Mining of hidden and advance knowledge that is potentially useful including safeguarding these information resources that has been mined from compromise or loss cannot be overemphasize. This study enumerates various data mining and data protection technologies use in the 21st Century library including the benefit of using these technologies in the library. However, the study illustrated the challenges encounter in the use of these technologies to include computer network support, using a variety of data mining, deeply mining, coordination of information management personnel and finally centering on readers and timely processing feedback information. The study conclude that data mining and data protection technologies are cross-discipline, and are one of the most cutting-edge researches in the international database and information system, so its use in the 21st Century library is still in its infancy and that the learning and use of these technologies should be strengthen since it is a new trend in librarianship.

“…Professor Michael Cooper, had mined and analyzed record data of catalog use of the digital library in California University, and found several types of users, users of real use the directory, the network robbert only collect data for retrieval services, general visitors just visit the website but not find the directory, their duration of stay is different. Cooper also designed a model, for user's time and the process, it adopted cluster analysis and time series analysis, and found that the query number, time, results number, result number of different users had different characteristics [14]. Through data analysis, it understood and mastered the characteristics of digital library users, predicted the future trend to study the behavior law of digital library users.…”

With the rapid development of computer technology and network technology, it ushers in a new Internet era characterized by information and knowledge. There is an urgent need for a new generation of technologies and methods to help exploit the treasures of information, and to be refined, so as to become useful knowledge. Data mining is the core part of knowledge discovery. Its techniques and methods have great application space and value in the digital library. Data mining technology can help people to develop vast amounts of information in depth, extract the inherent link of the heterogeneous information to promote the digital library. This paper describes technologies relating with data mining, introduces the process of data mining, illustrates the main features, explores applications of three aspects in the digital library, indicates application meaning, analyzes the key problems of implementation in digital libraries, and finally take a study case on analysis of low utilization readers in Linyi university library by decision tree algorithm
