1. How publishers & librarians interact in an electronic world Royal College of Nursing, London W1 13 November 2003 Terry Hulbert Head of eDevelopment & Strategy E-mail: terry.hulbert@iop.org Web: http//:www.iop.org

2. Introduction l How do we interact? l some context l What would JISC like us to do? l What have we done? l What else have we done? l Anything else? l What else could we do? l some thoughts l Summary

3. What would JISC like us do to? l Using their 5-step guide l www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue33/info-environment Step1: Expose metadata about your content support searching using Z39.50 support harvesting using OAI-PMH Step 2: Share news/alerts using RSS Step 3: Become an OpenURL source Step 4: Become an OpenURL target Step 5: Use persistent URIs

4. Step 1: OAI-PMH and Z39.50 l IOP journals content can be harvested using OAI-PMH l PSIgate already uses this l Other services harvest in this way e.g. ADS (NASA Astrophysics Data System) l Still to upgrade to Version 2 l Both Axiom and EJs support Z39.50

5. Step 2: RSS IOP makes much of its magazines content available via RSS feeds news articles, jobs, events latest papers from selection of journals syndication.iop.org EEVL takes a feed also provided a good overview of RSS www.eevl.ac.uk/rss_primer

7. Step 3: OpenURL source l Already have a large number of ExLibris customers – using SFX l Other vendors’ offerings of OpenURL also e.g. Serial Solutions (Article Linker), Endeavour (LinkFinderPlus) l Tell us your Base URL

9. Step 4: OpenURL target l STACKS linking protocol/syntax l stacks.iop.org/issn/vol/page/pdf l Obviously targets as DOIs can be used l Alternatively use STACKS to point directly to the full-text article l can link elsewhere within the hierarchy

10. Step 5: persistent URLs l Yes – insofar as f/t articles have DOIs l STACKS links to the rest of hierarchy

11. What else have we done? Forward linking More OpenURL Clustering COUNTER

12. Forward linking Now able to see papers from other publishers citing the article you’re viewing APS, NASA’s ADS service This will grow with CrossRef initiative

14. OpenURL developments Build an ‘IOP resolver’ and create our own rules Integrate ‘See Also’ type links

16. Clustering Experimenting with clustering technologies drill-down browsing Pre-canned cluster using NJP Vivisimo – clustering on-the-fly limited to subset of search results Verity k2 Intelligent Classifier – clustering using pre-existing taxonomies experimenting on Axiom good example with AIP physicsfinder.org

20. COUNTER Excellent work on usage statistics it’s a start IOP currently compliant and building portal Some excellent examples already available OUP have finished, as have Elsevier

23. Anything else? CrossRef initiatives forward linking CrossRef Search (working title) Customer portals author gateways librarian gateways

26. What else could we do? l PALS Metadata & Interoperability Working Group l Worked closely with EDINA on: l Project TIES l ZBLSA l Worked with EduServ re. Athens l Will be working with Stanford re. LOCKSS l An idea: l graphical history of a reference linking trail l Any others: you tell me

27. Summary l JISC 5-step guide l distributed publishing; distributed content l Done a lot of these l identifying and adopting emerging technologies & standards l …and continue to do other things l …and would like to do more, much more.

28. How is all this “radical”? l How many publishers have deployed all this? l How many libraries have deployed all this? l Now that would be radical!
