Einflussfaktoren auf die Öffnungszeiten von Universitätsbibliotheken

摘要

In this paper we analyze the opening hours of 50 randomly selected University libraries (UL) in Austria, Germany, Canada and the USA. The aim of this analysis is to identify possible influences on the extent of the opening hours. Potential influencing factors that we consider are library size and country (state) or linguistic area in which a library is located. The results of the analysis show that larger UL and UL that are located in the United States tend to be opened longer.
