Abstract
The article explores factors that may explain choices between the library and the Internet. The hypothesis that repository satisfaction, accessibility, and usefulness predict actual choice was tested using data from a competitive information acquisition task. It was found that repository choice was a function of library satisfaction and usefulness, but not library accessibility nor Internet accessibility, satisfaction, and usefulness. The findings suggest that these common predictors of use were inadequate. Research and practical implications are discussed.
