“…To adapt, LIS professionals had to better understand when, how, and why their users were using resources in each medium. Some studies look at the preferences of specific user groups for physical and digital materials (Chen, 2019;Clark et al, 2018;Duki c & Striškovi c, 2015;Superio et al, 2019). Other studies look at the use of specific material types, such as reference materials (Chan & West, 2015) or primary sources (Press & Meiman, 2020), in physical and digital forms.…”

“…Most commonly, however, format is used as a catch-all term to denote any formal element of an information resource that varies according to recognizable types (e.g., Association of College & Research Libraries [ACRL], 2016; Clark et al, 2018;Francke & Sundin, 2009;Greer & McCann, 2018;Quint, 1985). In this paper, we will use format in the more common general sense, with the understanding that in doing so, it is necessary to articulate the more specific elements of format that might fall under that umbrella.…”

Prior studies have shown high-level differences in people's perception and use of various information formats. However, the lack of a coherent and theoretically informed framework of elements of format has inhibited a nuanced understanding of the role that formats play in information behavior. This paper draws on theories from the field of rhetoric and composition to ground the study of information format in a social constructivist perspective that foregrounds action in context. Specifically, rhetorical genre theory is discussed in detail and the limitations of previous information behavior studies using rhetorical genre theory are explored. One of the main problems of earlier studies is confusing genres and their containers. This paper introduces and defines the concept of containers as typified ways of collecting and presenting texts of certain genres for publication. Building on rhetorical genre theory, the paper offers a theoretical exploration of the role that containers play in the formal and/or public sharing of information within discourse communities. An illustrative example of the concepts applied to data from an Institute of Museum and Library Services funded study is provided.

“…25 Additionally, there are marketing challenges for libraries to convey the full capabilities of their collections to students and faculty who may not be aware of the range of their libraries' audio collection or assume that commercial streaming services are superior. 26 In Kirstin Dougan's 27 observation of the behavior of music students when searching for music scores and recordings, she found that the students did not appear to be aware of their library's audio streaming subscriptions.…”

The rise of streaming services and decline of analog media have affected academic music libraries in their traditional role as a resource of listening materials. This study examines the listening-source preferences of college-level music students across multiple institutions through a survey in which students compared electronic commercial streaming services and both electronic and analog library multimedia collections to determine the factors that lead to the use of one source over the other. Findings indicate a strong preference for commercial streaming services over library materials, emphasizing the importance of convenience. However, the perceived quality of library materials remains high among participants.
