Abstract

Adoption and spread of the Capes Portal of Electronic Journals Abstract: The research investigates if librarians and users have the same perception of use and spread of the Capes’ Portal of Electronic Journals. The study’s objective is to compare the perception of frequent users and help desk librarians in adoption and spread of the Capes’ Portal of Electronic Journals. This is a bibliographical, descriptive and field study, which uses a quantitative approach. Data from indicators (Use, Compatibility, Result Report, Experimentation, Ease of Use, Image, Relative Advantage, Visibility and Use Result) was collected by questionnaires sent by e-mail. Frequent users tend to agree or fully agree with the indicators: Use, Compatibility, Result Report, Relative Advantage and Use Result). Help desk librarians tend to agree or fully agree with all indicators. Statistical difference on indicators between frequent users and help desk librarians shows that all indicators present a greater agreement for help desk librarians. Thus, in this study, we concluded that the information value is measured by the adoption and spread of the Capes’ Portal of Electronic Journals and that the Portal using behavior, both by frequent users and help desk librarians, has different influences, such as cultural, social and personal factors.
