This result may reflect an emerging research activity in business schools and a projected and required international orientation. However, the study also reveals important differences between schools, a fact that should not be overestimated because of the small sample size, even if the sample is a representative of French business schools. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The paper uses empirical data from a national usage study to identify specific patterns in business schools. It does not integrate qualitative survey data or deep log file analysis. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 Very few studies provide empirical evidence of e-journal usage in business schools. The paper enhances the knowledge on usage in specific environments in higher education. This is the first usage study with French business schools.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/el-03-2013-0046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,28]],"date-time":"2015-03-28T21:41:10Z","timestamp":1427578870000},"page":"258-272","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Usage of e-journals in French business schools"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Claire","family":"Leduc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joachim","family":"Sch\u00f6pfel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122422151453200_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bevan, S.\n , \n Dalton, P.\n and \n Conyers, A.\n (2005), \u201cHow usage statistics can inform national negotiations and strategies\u201d, \n Serials: The Journal for the Serials Community\n , Vol. 18 No. 2, pp. 116-123.","DOI":"10.1629\/18116"},{"key":"key2020122422151453200_b2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Boukacem-Zeghmouri, C.\n and \n Sch\u00f6pfel, J.\n (2008), \u201cOn the usage of e-journals in French universities\u201d, \n Serials\n , Vol. 21 No. 2, pp. 121-126.","DOI":"10.1629\/21121"},{"key":"key2020122422151453200_b3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Boukacem-Zeghmouri, C.\n and \n Sch\u00f6pfel, J.\n (2013), \u201cBeyond the Google generation: towards community-specific usage patterns of scientific information\u201d, in \n Baker, D.\n and \n Evans, W.\n (Eds), \n Trends, Discovery, and People in the Digital Age\n , Chandos Publishing, Oxford.","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-1-84334-723-1.50009-7"},{"key":"key2020122422151453200_b4","unstructured":"Colvin, J.\n and \n Keene, J.\n (2004), \u201cSupporting undergraduate learning through the collaborative promotion of e-journals by library and academic departments\u201d, \n Information Research\n , Vol. 9 No. 2, paper 173."},{"key":"key2020122422151453200_b5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Conyers, A.\n (2006), \u201cBuilding on sand?
