Aberystwyth, University of Wales JUSTEIS: JISC Usage Surveys: Trends in Electronic Information Services JUSTEIS is part of the JISC Monitoring and Evaluation of User Behaviour Framework. The JUSTEIS elements of the framework have involved surveying students and staff at further and higher education institutions throughout the UK, surveying library web sites to assess the status of provision of electronic information services, and interviewing library managers about their purchasing decisions. Action research projects are being conducted at several sites, to examine best practice for integrating electronic information services into teaching and learning. JUSTEIS methods include critical incident technique, critical success factors and vignettes, to provide different perspectives on user behaviour. To date (2003) around 1000 students have been interviewed (face-to-face) (since 1999), and around 2000 questionnaires obtained from students. Around 200 library websites have been analysed. The project is entering a fifth cycle in Autumn 2003, with an emphasis on further in-depth analysis and dissemination of those findings, by a variety of routes.
