The research examined the effect of enhanced electronic access to information on patterns of scholarly communication, and showed that disciplinary culture does affect academics' adoption of the new technologies. This has implications for academic libraries as they plan and develop training programmes, and for the designers of electronic databases and electronic journals.

Future of Electronic Journals: It is widely expected that a great deal of scholarly communication will move to an electronic format. The Internet offers much lower cost of reproduction and distribution than print, the scholarly community has excellent connectivity, and the current system of journal pricing seems to be too expensive. Each of these factors are helping push journals from paper to electronic media. This paper puts forward ideas about the impact this movement will have on scholarly communication.
