Description: This poster presents research conducted on students at Ramkhamhaeng University (RU). Abstract: Previous studies have found that perceived source accessibility strongly correlates with the frequency of use of information sources and has influenced use of information channels, rather than expected quality or amount of information. Regional students succeed in their studies when they can easily access information through convenient sources. Therefore, the researcher will investigate factors affecting regional students' selection of information sources to meet their information needs, as well as investigate these regional students' satisfaction with Ramkhamhaeng University (RU) Regional Library Services and the perceived quality of information retrieved from other information sources. The researcher applies the 'Principle of Least Effort' for this study. This principle governs and predicts the choices of these regional students' perceived source accessibility, wehreas 'Simon's Satisficing Theory' explains the selection and use of the information retrieved without considering whether the information is optimal.

Description: This poster displays information about digitization of theses and dissertations. Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) play significant roles, not only as new forms of scholarly communication, but also as drivers for the development of institutional repositories and digital libraries in general. The University of North Texas (UNT) was among the early U.S. institutions that moved quickly and aggressively to implement an ETD program. In 1999, UNT required the submission of theses and dissertations in electronic format. The UNT Libraries have been playing an active role in supporting the UNT ETD program by integrating ETDs into the existing digital resources. ETDs receive significant usage in the UNT Digital Library system, compared to the overall percentage of digital objects.

Description: This poster discusses digital object replication. The University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries has implemented a simple transport neutral digital object replication strategy in its production digital repository infrastructure. This strategy is built with the same ideals as other Curation Micro-Services, in respect to lightweight, software independent specifications coupled to provide a set of services for digital repositories, this approach to replication has allowed the UNT Libraries the flexibility of multiple storage infrastructures and the reassurance the objects are being fully validated as they are replicated throughout the repository.
