by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

From:Acquisitions & Collection Development Section Standing Committee [mailto:ACQUIS-NEW@LISTSERV.LOC.GOV] On Behalf Of Julia M. Gelfand Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2012 4:10 PM To: ACQUIS-NEW(a)LISTSERV.LOC.GOV Subject: Call for Papers for ACD Section at IFLA 2013 in Singapore CALL FOR PAPERS World Library and Information Congress 2013 Acquisitions and Collection Development Section 79th IFLA General Congress and Assembly Singapore 17-23 August 2013 Conference Theme: Future Libraries: Infinite Possibilities http://www.ifla.org/acquisition-collection-development The Section’s 2 hour Open Session is: Collaboration in Collections: Libraries, Users and Information Providers Building and maintaining relevant collections requires innovation in these challenging times as libraries establish a greater digital footprint and explore different channels of scholarly communication and information delivery. Working together with publishers and vendors to find ways to meet the diverse expectations and needs of library users demands new models of communication, programming, organizational infrastructure, reliance on multiple and changing technologies, and accompanying services. This Open Session will emphasize how innovation and collaboration within libraries, among users and with the publishing and provider community will advance the role of collections. Suggested subthemes, with a focus on innovation and best practices for potential speakers to consider: · Responding to users’ expectations – how & when · Role of Open Access · Impact of eResources – challenges with acquisitions, licensing, pricing, perpetuity, use · Cooperative collection development · Resource relevance · Relationships with information providers · Collection assessment · Selection and de-selection · Discovery of collections · Promoting collections The section invites speakers from all library environments (academic, public, government, school, special) who can address any of these themes in a 15 minute presentation at the WLIC meeting. The goal is to create a diverse program of 4-5 speakers representing libraries from different parts of the world who have different experiences to share. Proposed papers must be original and not have been published elsewhere. It is hoped that all presenters will be able to prepare a formal paper, as well as a PowerPoint presentation, however IFLA realizes that it may be impractical to require that every speaker prepare a formal paper and PowerPoint slides. If that is the case, those speakers must prepare a substantial abstract, including references with URLs and bibliographies to accompany their presentation. All selected papers will have abstracts and links to full papers on the conference website. Presentations can be made in any of the official IFLA languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, but an accompanying translation of all papers into English must be provided. Discussion at the conclusion of the presentations will be highly encouraged. Important Dates with which to comply: 31 January 2013 – Deadline for submitting 300 word proposals for papers and presentations, or substantial abstracts of 500 words if no paper will be prepared, plus a very brief biographical statement of speaker(s). Information should include: title of presentation; subthemes that it addresses, abstract, all authors, noting likely presenter; institutional affiliations; contact information, including all eMail addresses 28 February 2013 – Announcement of final program and communication with all who submit proposals. IFLA HQ notified of outcome from call. 1 May 2013 – Deadline for submission of final paper. Papers should be no more than 3,000 words and papers can be submitted in any of the official IFLA languages: Arabic, Chinese, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Russian, but an accompanying translation of all papers into English must be provided. Attempts will be made to provide translations into other official languages. 30 June 2013 – Deadline for all PowerPoint presentations from Speakers June/July 2013 – All speakers will be notified of the time of the program. All proposals will be reviewed by a jury composed of members of the Acquisitions and Collection Development Section. Please note that unfortunately, there are no funds to assist with your attendance at WLIC 2013. Please also note that in accordance with IFLA’s Open Access Statement, all papers that are presented at the WLIC 2013 should be available under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license. All submissions and any questions should be sent via eMail in a MS Word attachment to Julia Gelfand (jgelfand(a)uci.edu) by 31 January 2013. The receipt of all submissions will be acknowledged. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fw: How readers discover content in scholarly journals, Simon Inger and Tracy Gardner
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

PRESS RELEASE: 7th November 2012 Simon Inger and Tracy Gardner publish results of largest ever study into How Readers Discover Content in Scholarly Journals The report, which is the culmination of a 6-month research project and has the backing of leading publishers within STM, Humanities and Social Science, compares the changing reader behaviour between 2005 and 2012 and as a result looks at the impact on publisher and library web site design and function. Simon Inger and Tracy Gardner announced today the publication of a detailed report into discoverability of online content. Simon Inger, commenting on the reasoning behind the research said "There have been many studies using web logs that calculate where users of scholarly resources were referred from, but this approach doesn't indicate where those users started their research, merely the details of the last "hop" before hitting a content website. Discovery of academic content is complex with a plethora of discovery resources to choose from and many different routes to take. In order to expose content to the maximum number of potential readers, publishers and libraries need to understand these different routes and that is where this report can help them". This report is the output of a large-scale survey focussing on journal content discovery conducted during May, June and July of 2012. Over 19,000 responses were received from all over the world from readers in many different sectors, job roles and subject areas. The research repeats two earlier studies performed in 2005 by Scholarly Information Strategies (for whom the authors were consultants) and in 2008 by the authors. The shifts in reader preferences over time provide a valuable insight into reader navigation, the features that readers find useful in publisher web sites, and the role and effectiveness of library technologies. The 2012 survey was also updated to include questions about search engine preference and app use. Given such a large number of responses were received, this report goes much further than the previous two and is able to provide an insight into how readers in different sectors, regions, subject areas, and job roles behave. So, for example, answers to all the following questions can be found in the report: * In which subject areas, regions, job roles and sectors do readers make the most use of aggregated databases when searching for online articles? * Is Baidu, Google or Google Scholar the most popular search engine amongst students in China? * Which features do students, lecturers and academic researchers find most useful on Publisher web sites? * Which sectors make the most use of journal homepages and ToC Alerts? Tracy Gardner said "This report informs publishers, libraries, intermediaries and academics which resources the world's consumers prefer to use to discover scholarly content. It's an invaluable piece of research and we would like to wholeheartedly thank those organisations who supported us". The survey was supported by BMJ Group, CABI, Cambridge University Press, IOP Publishing, Nature Publishing Group, Palgrave Macmillan, Publishing Technology, RSC Publishing and SAGE. A summary report is available for free and the full report is available for £250 for organisations, £100 for academic libraries, and approximately £7 (or equivalent in other currencies) for individual use on Kindle (or Kindle viewers for PC, Mac, iPad). The full data set and the analytical tool are also available for purchase. See http://www.renewtraining.com/publications.htm for more details.
