Hi Mariana- You might want to check out a report by Diane Harley on the use of digital resources by undergraduate faculty. Although this slightly reframed from your interest more broadly about internet and computer use, it might be helpful. http://cshe.berkeley.edu/research/digitalresourcestudy/report/ digitalresourcestudy_final_report_conclusions.pdf There is also a published version in first monday as well. -lilly On May 12, 2007, at 1:47 PM, Mariana Goya wrote:
Dear Aoirs:
I’m studying if internet and the personal computer can affect writing, particularly in the academic community. For that reason, I’m trying to find numbers about internet growth and computer usage since 1976. Currently I have the number of internet users worldwide and the number of hosts, and some incomplete information about computer usage.
But I’m still trying to find some numbers related to academics.
Does anyone know where can I find statistics about academics’ use of internet and/or computers?
I appreciate your help, Thanks, Mariana
