Summary:Respondents were asked to indicate which factors would discourage them from accessing an e-journals service. The choices provided by the questionnaire are detailed in Table XVIII. There was also the "other" option where users could indicate any other factor. A total of 203 people responded to this question. The most common reason cited for not reading an e-journal was the lack of enough information relevant to the users' interests - 51.2 per cent mentioned it.
