大學教師網路閱讀行為之初探

This paper reports an investigation on
the e-reading activities of academic faculty
members on the Internet. The empirical data
were collected via in-depth interview with
24 individual members from 5 universities
in North Taiwan & were analyzed using
grounded theory approach. The author explores
and discusses the findings based on the major
themes of e-reading activities among the faculty
under study, including the diverse reading
situations, multiple sources of reading materials,
five influential factors of e-readings, & more
positive impacts of e-reading. Overall, the
faulty members’ e-reading activities are mostly
task oriented & are influenced by a small set
of factors. The paper concludes that the nature
and motivation of reading are not changed
much in the digital environment, but the source
of reading materials is more diversified. Some
technology-enabling reading activities do
happen such as ‘forwarding’ emails, & so
do the after-reading information processing
behavior.
