1 EDUCAUSE Midwest – Chicago, IL – March 17 2010 Campus Research Gateway and Expert Finder Sarah L. Shreeves University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

2 Do you know what your faculty are doing?

3 Why should you care?

4 Libraries Can we find a better/easier/more convenient way to get content into our IRs? How do we know if we’re meeting funder/institutional open access mandates? Can we personalize discussions about scholarly communication issues with faculty? Where are faculty publishing? Is that changing over time?

5 Faculty/Departments Can we quickly generate a current publication list to insert in grant applications / annual reports / prospective graduate students? Can’t I just give you a paper to upload to the repository? Is there another researcher on campus working in this area?

6 Administrators What collaborations are happening across campus? With other campuses? Are we meeting our funder/institutional open access mandates? Which faculty are publishing in high profile journals (eg Nature or Science)? What are the strengths of a department or research group?

27 Technology Stack  Linux  Apache with Phusion Passenger (_aka_mod rails)  Ruby on Rails (Enterprise Edition)  Java  Lucene / Solr  Sherpa Romeo API  Google Books API  OpenURL  Accepts RIS, RefWorks XML, Medline  Runs on MySQL or PostgreSQL

28 Where are we?  BibApp 1.0 (due out within the next couple of weeks!!)  BibApp 2.0  More visualization and data mining tools http://www.bibapp.org http://code.google.com/p/bibapp/

29 What are the challenges?

30 Metadata Mess

31 Authority Control for Publications and Publishers

32 Author disambiguation  Inconsistency across A&I services (example below from three)

34 ? ?

35 Author disambiguation

36 A Brief Plug for Author Identifiers Coalition of publishers, academic institutions, disciplinary repositories and other interested parties

37 Completeness Althaus, S. L. (2001). Who's voted in when the people tune out? Information effects in congressional elections. In Hart, R. P. and Shaw, D. R. (Eds.), Communication in U.S. elections: new agendas. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers: 33- 53. Book chapters in social sciences and humanities hard to find as the primary entry. Conferences can also be hard to find.

38 Who owns the keywords and abstracts? Generally the publisher or the abstract/index service

39 Why don’t we have better management and control of these outputs? Informed decisions for library collections Better, data-driven discussions with faculty and departments Easier to identify material to go into institutional repositories Promotion of departmental and individual research Better understanding of the collaborations happening around campus
