Usage statistics

輔仁大學圖書館是從2008年5月下旬開始加入RapidILL，為更深入了解RapidILL的使用狀況，本文分析了2008年6月至2009年12月之電腦日誌檔，分析結果顯示這19個月期間的總申請次數為8,983次，其中教職員申請次數為1,839次（佔20.47%），研究所學生（碩士和博士）申請次數為6,367次（佔70.88%），其餘為大學部學生。由於最大的使用者族群為研究所學生，本文也進一步分析其系所背景，發現各研究所學生利用RapidILL的情況差異很大。在抑制期刊經費成長的經濟效益方面，98學年度已藉由RapidILL來完全凍結期刊經費的成長，初步估計約節省新台幣3百萬元。
