1- Introduction JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 3

Context More and more e-content (e-books, e- journals, e-newspapers…) Search engines: i.e Google, Yahoo Mobile devices (phones, tablets, readers..) Social web (Facebook, Twitter, blogs…)  Usage of information has changed: – “Here and now!” – Need for more content, more features JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 4

2- Digital content More than text JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 5

Citation count JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 11

Author’s page JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS Author disambiguation -Challenge: huge collaborations (with more than 2,500 authors)

Author’s citations JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS Metrics: Highly important to scientists -Impact factor (ISI) (journal) -Number of citations received in Year N for articles published in years N-1 and N-2 divided by number of citable articles published in years N-1 and N-2 -H-Index (author) - A scholar with index H has published H papers each of which have been cited at least H time.

Many more challenges More types of documents – Eg slides from conference proceedings linked with the conference record – Computer-code – moving beyond the – article-centric model, as independent citable objects Deeper in the content – Data from plots and table More metrics: clicks  Need for integrated and linked information JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 14

3- Integration of resources JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 15

Why JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS “Google generation” – Users want to access information easily – Single entry point Digital Library cannot be a closed circuit! – It should be where the users are! 16

Open Data JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS Metadata in public domain (Creative Commons License CC0) Reusable by anyone Ex: CERN, Harvard Library… 17

CERN Open Data JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 18

Integrate with other Library catalogues JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 19

Where the users are JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 20

Where the users want to go JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS -Simple API -Based on ISBN 21

5- The user community as a resource JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 22

Submission of documents JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS -Users as: -Information creators -curators 23

Users as curators JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 24

Commenting JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS -Creation of “new” information -Challenge: -Moderation? -Preservation 25

Study Users’ behavior (and use it) Usage statistics /logs – Understand their needs to adapt the resources, the necessary features – Give back this information to them: JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 26

Towards user-driven acquisition Give the users what they want – The community knows what they need Purchase is only driven by use – ≠ from the traditional model where purchased resource is not always used (inefficiency, high costs) – Resources shaped to the user’s needs JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 27

User-driven acquisition for Ebooks Ebook records integrated in the catalogue Pay only per usage  At CERN, 17k ebooks available, but we pay only if there is a use JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 28

Ex. Books about Python at CERN Library JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS -118 books -50 owned by the Library (print or ebook format) -Others available but not “owned” by the Library -“Pay as you go” 29

User-driven acquisition for print books JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS Library catalogue Book records Book record Book records Desiderata Record Source (eg Publisher, aggregator User Ingest Request Librarian Purchase 30

5- Conclusions and outlook JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 31

Many opportunities Access to more content Reach the user wherever he is Interact more closely with the user community and use this resource Open Access – gradually remove barriers  Maximize the resources JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 32

And challenges Sustainability of information – Formats, access, maintenance and storage Crowd-sourcing Many barriers still need to be broken – “Digital divide” – OA is not equally developed in all scientific disciplines JINR / CERN Grid and advanced information systems 2012 Anne Gentil-Beccot CERN Library GS/SIS 33
