In "Lessons Learned: How College Students Find Information in the Digital Age," we present findings from our student survey, administered last spring to students (n=2,318) enrolled at six U.S. college campuses (42 pages, PDF, 3 MB). We were struck by what we found. We hope that our findings will help inform educators, such as yourself, about today's college students and how they look for information and conduct research for course-related work and in their everyday lives. Finally, a few thanks are in order for this year's work. We thank ProQuest for their generous support of our research this past year and the MacArthur Foundation for contributing funds to make the current year's ongoing research possible. And we thank you for your interest, support, and collaboration. ! All our best, - Alison and Mike -- Alison J.

Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB)
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

________________________________ Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2012 19:56 Subject: [Iatul-l] Directory of Open Access Books *** Apologies for Receipt of Duplicate Postings*** Colleagues/ OAPEN is pleased to announce a new service for Open Access monographs: the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB). DOAB will provide a searchable index to peer-reviewed monographs and edited volumes published under an Open Access business model, with links to the full texts of the publications at the publisher’s website or repository. The beta version of the service will contain publications of a selected number of academic publishers. The beta version will be made public early spring 2012. The primary aim of DOAB is to increase discoverability of Open Access books. Academic publishers will be invited to provide the metadata of their Open Access books to the DOAB. Metadata will be harvestable in order to maximize dissemination, visibility and impact. Aggregators can integrate the records in their commercial services and libraries can integrate the directory into their online catalogues, thereby helping scholars, students and the general public to discover the books. The directory will be open to all academic publishers and should contain as many books as possible, provided that these books are peer reviewed and published in Open Access. DOAB will determine requirements for publishers to qualify as Open Access academic book publishers and will maintain a certification procedure.
