Demand for off-site access is growing! Almost all (97.6%, n = 545) respondents agreed that demand for off-site access is growing. It was considered that the most likely reason for this is that research is increasingly taking place on mobile devices (84.3% of 459 respondents considered this a likely reason). • The fact that research is increasingly taking place at home was
also considered by many to be a factor, with 76.5% of 459 respondents choosing this option.
• Users are increasingly comfortable with digital formats and their expectations are shaped by 24/7 digital availability.
• Users increasingly work or study in multiple locations, often without a central “on-site” base; being “on-site” is not necessarily the norm, and can be an inconvenience.
• Research and learning are increasingly taking place at home, or “interstitially” – in the gaps between other activities, and often in public places such as on trains or in cafés.
