New documents are added each day whilst others are deleted at the request of module leaders. The ResIDe system also offers lecturers the flexibility of modifying documents very quickly and easily. This type of information can be disseminated faster and more efficiently through ResIDe than by academics during lectures, workshops or through e-mail. This includes a range of different fields to widen or narrow searches. ResIDe's weekly logs identify all documents accessed more than 5 times and record the number of times these individual documents are accessed in addition to the total number of pages accessed from each directory.
Logs reveal a growing level of system use.
The highest number of pages accessed in a single month was 10,220 in April 1999. This was the result of high student demand for examination papers. Since the number of accesses per month in 1999 was higher than those for the equivalent month in 1998, it is anticipated that the number of pages accessed in April 2000 will be far higher than 10,000. There are a growing number of students requesting that additional documents, examination papers and modules be added to ResIDe and a growing number of academics requesting that new modules and examination papers be added. Most of the year, module documents held in the ereserve are retrieved more often than other types of material, but past examination papers are accessed more than these in January, April, May and September when sessional and resit exam papers are sat or revision programmes are underway.
