Digital repository software for a corporate library
by Richa Srivastava 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Dear Moderator Kindly post this message to the LIS Forum. Dear Friends, Again a few questions. An architectural consultancy working at national/international level wants to develop an information system for itself and is stuck up with certain small issues, if anyone can help with: 1. Does anybody know any of the CORPORATE LIBRARIES which are using OSS for library management? 2. Can DSpace help us (librarians) manage issue & return of books too. 3. Is there any significant difference of space occupied by koha and Libsys and the records of documents therein on server. 4. Finally, if there is any librarian/data manager dealing with an architectural/museum/visual kind of works in India where lot great images/drawings/artifacts are being generated and catalogued every day, please let me know. Thanks and warm regards ऋचा Richa Srivastava -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Web presence of science institutions
by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

Friends: Will someone, say an M Lib Sci student, do a quick study of comparing the coverage of papers from Indian and other developing country institutions in Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar? The webometrics team in Spain have carried out such studies. Arun http://www.webometrics.info/openac.html British Universities commitment to Open Access We provide this table as an example of the current situation regarding open distribution of scientific results by world universities. In the case of United Kingdom, the production of quality papers is far higher than the number of them available in repositories and thus being indexed by Google Scholar. UK universities are not achieving higher ranks in Webometrics as compared to other research-based rankings and this is the most likely explanation for this behaviour. We also want to note that this problem does not only affect to the UK but to countries all over the world because many universities are not yet taking the Web seriously. Universities Scopus Scholar % Sco vs Sch University College London 134,950 8,660 6.42% University of Cambridge 114,339 8,320 7.28% University of Oxford 99,723 7,800 7.82% Imperial College 91,537 4,720 5.16% University of Manchester 83,024 3,840 4.63% King's College London 60,407 1,100 1.82% University of Edinburgh 57,473 9,920 17.26% University of Birmingham 56,365 3,900 6.92% University of Bristol 55,232 2,759 5.00% University of Glasgow 51,081 4,750 9.30% University of Sheffield 50,337 2,454 4.88% University of Leeds 49,674 3,230 6.50% University of Liverpool 45,992 1,390 3.02% University of Southampton 44,013 14,000 31.81% University of Nottingham 41,472 3,206 7.73% Cardiff University 39,196 1,274 3.25% Newcastle University 37,591 2,530 6.73% Queen Mary University of London 30,715 1,150 3.74% Queen's University Belfast 29,537 1,050 3.55% University of Leicester 26,883 1,850 6.88% University of Aberdeen 26,398 1,250 4.74% Durham University 24,159 2,650 10.97% University of Sussex 23,322 1,756 7.53% University of Strathclyde 23,269 1,400 6.02% University of Warwick 23,018 6,010 26.11% University of Reading 22,786 1,299 5.70% University of Surrey 21,563 2,020 9.37% University of York 21,554 2,920 13.55% Loughborough University 18,902 4,030 21.32% University of Saint Andrews 17,212 1,490 8.66% Scopus: Publications (1996-May 2010).
