“…If subject classified, they are often arranged alphabetically by author's name within the subjects. The average time to accomplish this traditional discovery, copying, cataloging and storage is 7.4 minutes per article (note: this assumes multiple articles are retrieved in any session at the library, and this does not include travel time to and from the library which will vary for each scholar) (McGeachin 1998).…”

“…But this can be a time consuming process. A 1998 investigation found that using PageKeeper version 2.0 software (equivalent to about OmniPage version 6.0 OCR software) to scan and perform OCR took an average of 62 minutes per article to process, which is far too much of an effort to be worthwhile for most scholars (McGeachin 1998). Now, five years later, there have been increases in the OCR abilities of software.…”

This article examines the potential changes to the information seeking behavior of scholars and how they manage their own collection of research article "reprints". With bibliographic databases and electronic journals provided by academic libraries now available at the science scholars' computer desktop, they can now locate and acquire a portion of needed research articles on their own at any time. They also, in some cases, have older paper copies scanned and delivered by libraries as image files at web retrieval locations. Bibliographic citation management software is now in use by many scholars. Personal information management software is available and could also be used. This article reviews possible scenarios scholars can use to manage this new electronic collection of research articles and possible ways libraries can help them in this scholarly activity.
