This study assesses attitudes towards electronic media and examines the current level of use of these media by academic researchers and scholars in Japan, using the interview and the mail survey. The survey contained questions assessing demographic characteristics, usage of computers in research process, usage of electronic mail, mailing list, electronic journal, and WWW. A questionnaire was distributed to faculty members in departments of medicine, psychology, physics, history and economics. The results suggest that E-mail is the most popular electronic medium, and research fields varies usage of mailing lists and WWW. Although the actual number of academics using electronic journals at present may be low, academics expect to this new medium.
