http://www.streamingmedia.com/internetlibrarian/inetlib1_300.asx

/ now we start the overview from the panel and discussion

Gary Price - ResourceShelf - some guy we’re all supposed to have heard of

some guy introducing...

UPDATED 2004-11-24: Stevan Harnad
http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/
http://www.unites.uqam.ca/cnc/en/profs/harnad.htm

- the subversive proposal - a decade ago
American Scientist Open Access Forum

Open Access is not freedom of information, access to all info, everywhere.
applies to a very specific target literature

literature: 24,000 peer-reviewed journals across all fields
2.5 million articles per year
authors don’t receive any payment for these articles

Open Access movement wants: free, full text online

want to isolate this set of articles, use OAI, so they can be searched separately from regular Google consumer search

one idea: the Golden Road - stop charging the subscriber institutions - convert to recovering costs from author institution - that is the WRONG WAY

other idea: the Green Road - in the hands of the author, author’s institution, author’s funder
author takes supplementary copy - self-archiving - put into OAI-compliant institutional website

librarians are the heroes of the first phase of the open access movement

they were driven by cost issues

the other group: the heroic authors - who have been posting their articles

other issue: copyright and intellectual property
unrefereed preprint - no issue
but Open Access is post-peer-review -
92% publishers are green
70% of publishers say you can self-archive final version anyway

for publishers who say post-print is ownership:
append to pre-print the corrections

authors are losing research impact by not self-archiving

roadblocks
- who is going to pay
- preservation
- what about copyright

what is the magic:
- the authors want research impact, and to contribute to world knowledge
- but still need publish or perish to push them
- use research impact to motivate authors to self-archive
- also mandate self-publish as part of pub-perish.  research funders could do this.  also employer.

talks about many ways to measure research impact in a more sophisticated way

UK had select committee report - would have mandated open access - didn’t fly?
there was a good green recommendation, but they unfortunately mixed in a bunch of gold stuff

USA situation - NIH put thing up for comment - publishers opposed ?
NIH version is just green
other proposal in US House - passed - waiting in Senate ?

Wellcome Trust has already gone green

issue: location of self-archiving - PubMed Central  - issue is that you’re putting into central med/health archive

should be changed: to either send to PubMed OR just send URL - so that it can expand beyond PubMed

--

and now, the panel

SLA will be doing virtual seminar on OA

Cat - OAIster

OAIster harvests more than just Open Access

Andy Boyer - OCLC - WorldCat

Open WorldCat - take abbreviated WorldCat records and expose it through public web search - available through Google and Yahoo

how can we get more information more available to the users who want it
includes making DSpace records available

currently 2 million records available now
all 57 million records will be made available later this month

Sumir - Yahoo Search

surfacing content

150 million active registered users on Yahoo

Yahoo - Content Acquisition Program
indexing of deep web content

mysearch.yahoo.com
Yahoo OCLC Library Toolbar

Open Access important for
- comprehensiveness
- freshness

OA moves content outside publisher pay-content “firewalls”
OA puts the info on the web faster than publication cycles

Partnered with Public Library of Science.  Gold Road.
Partnered with OAIster.  Green Road.

other Andy - Public Library of Science (PLOS)
talk about “hopeless, wrong Gold Road”

PLOS - Stanford Biologists - looking at 6000 genes - best way would be to gather all papers on these topics to analyze all info in one place -

they couldn’t get the content they wanted
this made them angry

mission: make the scientific and medical literature a free public resource

two criteria for OA according to PLOS
1. governed by copyright license to freely access, use, transmit
2. article must be deposited immediately in at least one public archive

how can you do this?
publishers need to act as service providers
treat costs of publication as part of research costs
comes to cost of about 1% of grant in biomedical case

Gary Price - ResourceShelf - DocuTracker
findability

Yahoo is good

public web vs invisible web
general search vs specialized search

for specific title searching, results are good
WorldCat is coming up higher in Yahoo than in Google
but in subject searching, results rank much lower

Open Source toolbar  for FireFox - NeedleSearch

OPAC people need to get into business of making custom toolbars

e.g. “my local library’s search toolbar”

are libraries prepared for more interlibrary loan as Open WorldCat becomes popular

people use short queries with basic terms
there are also SEO people trying to hack the results
also most people only look at first set of results
people don’t use advanced searches

OAIster only searches metadata
Steven says boolean full-text search will beat anything.

PLOS - mirror sites etc.
PLOS - would like to integrate PubMed and OAIster

OAIster doesn’t do OpenURL yet
OAIster can do it, with a hack

Q as a librarian, would like to use a single interface to locate info, and go to a single place to locate OA info

Z39.50 SRW? coming for OAIster

Steven - don’t mix general search with open access
problem with OA is not SEARCH it is lack of content

Q Law Librarian AALL
Are the barriers to increasing open access the same for every discipline, or different between law and science.

Q big universities have resources to create repositories

Steven (with VOICE OF GOD) says it is cheap: $1000 server, two days of sys admin.

guy from New England College of Optometry []
guy has been looking at tech aspects - there are challenges -
primary issues are workflow etc. - someone has to put it in the repository

Steven says everything is trivial.

SUNY Courtland? woman
her authors say why put it in OA if the collegues etc. all use pay services
it has to be made very easy to find

the research info guy
ResearchIndex / CiteSeer
new one smealsearch.psu.edu - for business material

everyone is going all DSpace

CalPoly guy
Q how does this impact the social aspect of science

Scientists want to be associated with major journal(s).
Also, what about major societies e.g. IEEE.

Q funding models
PLOS - author pay - part of research cost
Steven - Gold model is premature

however cost per article $500 - $1500 - $2000 - $3000 (Springer Open Choice)

cost for open access green is much cheaper, Steven says under $10

Q fulltext vs metadata

general search engines just use full text

Google only indexes as far as 100KB

Yahoo uses trusted metadata from CAP program.

discussion of subscription vs approved list

“you will pay for what you really want.  you won’t pay for what used to be a ‘nice to have’”

advertising supported publications: works only in certain cases

question for ACM guy: wouldn’t researchers get better results from open access publication, since then they would get bigger impact

He says: no money, no publication.  Someone has to pay for the publications (peer review process, layout etc.)

Q Will libraries still exist?

Physical presence, paper holdings give value.
Yahoo wants to create integration between physical, Internet world.

Challenges to get people into physical library.
Corporate: less libraries.
Academic: less libraries.

Minimal publication of RSS feeds by libraries in this audience.

“what is a library?”

Q: What if results indicate that item is in library far away?

A: there is value to researchers in knowing that an item exists SOMEWHERE

Q: What about private collections
people who have access to your collections are already using Google / Yahoo anyway

ACM - Google - wanted to be present in authoritative way in an index that their users already like - filter to get definitive results

challenge: search indexes provide links to free versions of published works

version issue: the version that you get as a search result may not be definitive

ACM is also going to do a deal with CiteSeer to help address the problem of authoritative version

ACM guy - issues with ranking algorithms - popular information rises to the top - good for consumers, not good for scholar - huge amount of research that never gets surfaced

anyone who needs to do scholarly research shouldn’t be using Google - it’s a consumer engine

KnowledgeStorm "The Enterprise Software, Hardware, Services, and White Papers Resource"
IndustryBrains ?
TechTarget

e.g. Elsevier has Scirus as scholarly search engine

Yahoo jiggers their results to rank partners higher
OCLC result for US marines will show up #3

use of recommendation, relevance ranking

but Elsevier is never going to get enough interest to Scirus

“go where the users already are”: Google, Yahoo
library tab

possible future:
self-publish
with ranking layer on top

list of OpenURL resolvers
Athena presents a survey she did of vendors
- they contacted 20 vendors, got 13 responses

biggest remote vendors (remotely hosted)

LinkSource -157 installations
Journal Linker - 150
LinkSolver - 130

local
sfx 670
webbridge 168

total base (combined remote + local)
SFX
LinkSource
LinkFinderPlus

many different pricing structures

OHIOLINK - OLinks is free to OHIOLINK and ?is open source?
Godot ? open source from Canadians ??

UPDATED from web search: GODOT

Sirsi has largest knowledge base, but most in same ballpark (80,000 - 70,000)

OLinks only has titles for participating libraries

GetCopy - says full text providers should allow their services to be queried directly for access rights - check vendor on the fly - no knowledge base

GetCopy maybe uses SOAP?

resolvers can also offer many other extended services e.g. link to online bookstores, patent databases etc.

extended services - interest is increasingly in specifically targetted services - use Shibboleth auth info to show targetted information based on user roles

some reports may offer features similar to electronic journals management

IL2004 - Monday - 13:15 Federated Searching and OpenURL (Part I)

Originally posted 2004-11-16.

“An Introduction to Federated Searching and OpenURL”
Frank Cervone
Assistant University Librarian for Information Technology
Northwestern University
Evanston, IL, USA

[Oh I see THEY have Internet (the presenters)]

federated search - search multiple resources (in background) - provide unifed results list

using OpenURL to link to full text in results list

“the vast majority of OpenURL is done using URL rather than DOI”

presents OpenURL as a way to link source database to target database, e.g. from FirstSearch get OpenURL, your resolver turns that into a linkt to EBSCO

this is as opposed to having direct, internal links (typically to internal resources) in the source database

OpenURL
- redirect through resolver
- resolver interprets data which may be
-- DOI
-- a URL encoded with metadata about the resource
- locates appropriate copies

they implemented SFX, it took them about 3 months
but Northwestern had “serial solutions” data
another place didn’t have that data and it took them 2 years to key it all in

they prioritized their results based on availability, comprehensiveness, whether you actually get it consistently when you click on it, quality of PDF etc.

you then have on-going maintenance of your OpenURL database, but most of this should be automated

“as nice as OpenURL is, it is just a stop on the destination to federated searching”

what is federated searching
- metasearch
-- uses metadata to make decisions
- megasearch
-- uses full text to make decisions
-- e.g. dogpile, alltheweb

federated search engine - ezproxy (remote auth and acces) - world of elec tronic resources

once you have located the info (using federated searching) then use OpenURL to locate appropriate copy

people overwhelmingly choose a single, common, unified interface

they are building federated search for undergrads
live search
shows # of hits
can look at individual result sets

users (e.g. faculty) can select which databases they want
they have set a limit of 8 databases that you can federate at a time

also have “my resource list” - user’’s last search, favourite resources (databases)
as well “my e-journals list” which shows the journals covered by the fave resources

OpenURL steps...
- linking to providers - get them to enable OpenURL, interfaces etc.

federated search major issues
- time to cnfigure databases and resources
- dedup results / relevance ranking
- defining searchable collections

They are using ExLibris for federated searching.

“The Long and Winding Road: Evolving E-Journal Management and Discovery Tools”

I suspect this next one is from a "librarians learn to blog" thing JustLibs

I located these using Google, Technorati and Feedster.

UPDATE 2004-11-15: It occurs to me the next thing is to build a public RSS feed combining all these blogs.  librarian.net suggests just a feedster search. I have built a public RSS feed of all the above sites (except justlibs), including mine (Kinja didn't like my three layers of redirects, so it links directly to the final site:)

http://kinja.com/user/netlib2004 unofficial Internet Librarian 2004 combined bloggers public RSS feed It took me two tries to get it to accept the full list of blogs.  I have never used Kinja before. If you want the collapsed list (just shows the latest posting from each blog) it's http://kinja.com/user/netlib2004/default/top/

I wasn't able to add Confessions of a Mad Librarian, it says it can't find a feed.

UPDATE 2004-11-15: I have added the (apparently famed) walking paper to the Kinja feed.

UPDATE 2004-11-16: I have fed the Mad Librarian feed URL http://edwards.orcas.net/~misseli/blog/index.rdf into Kinja, we'll see whether it works.

Added Dysart & Jones Associates.

UPDATE 2004-11-17: I don't know if these are at the conference
