U.S. UNIVERSITIES LEAD IN INNOVATION, ASIA A RISING POWER

U.S. UNIVERSITIES LEAD IN INNOVATION, ASIA A RISING POWER U.S. universities lead the world in scientific innovation but face strong competition from Asian rivals with close ties to industry, according to a detailed analysis of academic papers and patent filings. The inaugural Reuters Top 100 survey, published on Wednesday, places Stanford University in top spot, reflecting its position as a crucible for new ideas at the heart of Silicon Valley. Stanford alumni have gone on to create some of the world's biggest technology companies, including Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo and Google. The top nine places are all taken by U.S. schools, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University ranked second and third. The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) was 10th, while Imperial College London was the highest-ranked European in 11th place. Asian universities are a growing force in scientific innovation and have proved particularly adept at turning this into products, with South Korea -- home to rising tech giants such as Samsung -- scoring highly in patent approvals. South Korea has eight schools in the top 100 universities, while Japan has nine -- more than all countries bar the United States. China, however, had only one entry on the list in Tsinghua University, ranked 72nd. Policymakers and corporations alike rely on universities to convert publicly funded science into knowledge and ultimately new products that drive economic growth. But while academic innovation is lauded around the world, it is not easy to measure. The new Reuters league table aims to produce the most comprehensive and systematic ranking to date by analyzing 10 different measures, based on the volume and impact of scientific research, the volume and success of patent filings and the use of cited discoveries in the academic and corporate worlds. For full details of the survey, see www.reuters.com/most-innovative-universities. Large, populous countries inevitably score highly, so it is also instructive to look at relative performance. Tiny Switzerland, with a population of eight million people and two of the world's top drug companies, stands out with three schools on the list, giving it more top 100 innovative universities per capita than any other country.

ISAACSON PASSES ON LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS POST
by Ragaavendra R 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

ISAACSON PASSES ON LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS POST People close to the White House approached Walter Isaacson, author of the celebrated biography of late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, about serving as the next Librarian of Congress, but Isaacson took himself out of the running, according to a source familiar with the situation. Isaacson, CEO of the Aspen Institute in Washington, was perhaps the highest-profile name circulating as a possible replacement for James Billington, who plans to retire from the Library of Congress after 28 years at the helm. The institution, which manages a vast national collection of some 160 million works, has developed a reputation for digital backwardness, and librarians and tech advocates have urged the White House to pick someone capable of being a modernizing force. Isaacson declined to comment. ..Other names still under consideration include University of Pennsylvania President Amy Gutmann; John Palfrey, the head of school at Phillips Academy and the former head of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society; former American Library Association President Carla Hayden; Susan Hildreth, former director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, a federal agency; and Deborah Jacobs, director of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Global Libraries Initiative, according to multiple sources. Also in the mix are Archivist of the United States David Ferriero and Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive. Palfrey said he was surprised to hear his name was being floated and called the Librarian of Congress post "one of the greatest jobs in the universe," but declined to comment further on the search. Hildreth said that she had not been contacted by the White House, and Ferriero declined to comment. Other names on the list did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Billington, a Reagan appointee, announced in June that he would be leaving the job at the start of 2016, giving President Barack Obama an opportunity to hire someone to usher the Library of Congress into the Internet era. The Library has, under Billington, struggled to meet its technology needs, such as digitizing the nation's cultural archives and supporting the U.S. Copyright Office, which is housed at the Library and is at the center of debates between the tech and entertainment industries about digital content. The White House didn't immediately comment. Asked about the search last week, a spokesperson last week declined to comment on personnel matters. Isaacson, who formerly served as chairman and CEO of CNN and editor of Time magazine in addition to writing numerous books, is seen as popular in Washington and someone who could survive a political process; the Librarian of Congress post requires Senate confirmation. According to a source familiar with the process, the White House is hunting for someone to fill the position that meets a varied set of criteria: The person should be something of a public intellectual with a scholarly bent, know how to manage a sprawling institution, and have an understanding of the complexities of both copyright policy and public access to information in the digital age.

Web Scale Discovery Service - Library System report 2015
by nikesh 13 Sep '15

13 Sep '15

Dear friends, Please see the Excerpts about Web scale Discovery service appeared in Library System Report 2015. Read full report : http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2015/05/01/library-systems-report/ "Interest in discovery services continues to build among academic libraries as they strive to optimize the impact of their investments in scholarly electronic resources, in balance with their print collections. *EBSCO reported 2,634 new subscriptions to EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and 8,246 total *installations. EDS finds use in academic libraries as well as public, school, and special libraries. Unlike other providers of index-based discovery services, EBSCO has not developed its own resource management product but instead focuses on integrating EDS with any ILS the library currently has in place. Integration partnerships are in place with more than 30 ILS providers globally. Examples include Encore Duet, an integration of EDS into Innovative’s discovery product compatible with Sierra or Millennium, and integration of EDS with SirsiDynix Enterprise. Work has recently been completed to enable libraries using OCLC’s WorldShare Management Services to apply EDS as the patron interface. Ex Libris and EBSCO remain at loggerheads with regard to populating Primo Central with EBSCO content and integrating EDS and Alma. *Ex Libris made 88 new contracts for Primo in 2014, increasing its total installations to 1,529. *This count includes those packaged with Alma as well as those sold to libraries using it with other ILS products. Ex Libris recently entered a partnership with ProQuest to index its content products in Primo Central. *ProQuest reported 195 new subscriptions to Summon, increasing its total to 697 installations.* In 2014, ProQuest announced the company had increased the Summon index by 350 million records, or 16%, and added new features to Summon 2.0, launched in 2013. ProQuest has also moved Summon from its own data centers to the cloud using Amazon Web Services (AWS)."

Elsevier provides free access to most of their journals to Wikipedia editors

Elsevier access donations help Wikipedia editors improve science articlesWith free access to ScienceDirect, top editors can ensure that science read by the public is accurateBy Sacha Boucherie Posted on 10 September 2015 A recent article in *MIT Technology Review* <http://www.technologyreview.com/view/539001/why-wikipedia-open-access-revol…> speaks of a “quiet revolution occurring in the way science diffuses into the public consciousness.” According to the authors, increasingly the public is reading about science on Wikipedia, the crowd-sourced online encyclopedia. Since its launch in 2001, Wikipedia has grown to become the sixth most trafficked website in the world <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_popular_websites>, with 8,000 views per second and 500 million unique visitors each month. For many, it is the first stop in almost any information quest. These numbers are significant, and as a publisher of scientific information, Elsevier plays a role in ensuring that science reaching large parts of the public is reported accurately. Elsevier has agreed to contribute to The Wikipedia Library’s Access Donation Program <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Databases> by offering top Wikipedia editors free access toScienceDirect <http://www.sciencedirect.com/>, Elsevier’s flagship full-text database covering almost a quarter of the world's peer-reviewed scientific content. Wikipedia is supported by the Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home>, a nonprofit charitable organization “dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free, multilingual, educational content.” The Wikipedia Library <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library> program, also part of the Wikimedia Foundation, seeks to help Wikipedia volunteer editors gain access to high-quality and trusted resources. To accomplish this, The Wikipedia Library team encourages access partnerships between publishers, libraries and other trusted content and data providers. These access programs empower editors to research the topics of Wikipedia articles in order to make corrections and cite authoritative sources, improving the encyclopedia and bringing the best quality information to the public. The Wikipedia Library’s current access programs <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Databases> include partnerships with, JSTOR (Journal Storage), Oxford University Press, Royal Society, HighBeam Research, Questia Online Library, British Newspaper Archive, Cochrane Collaboration, BMJ and Newspapers.com, among others. [image: A selection of The Wikipedia Library’s content partners.]A selection of The Wikipedia Library’s content partners. Since being approached by the Wikipedia Library Team at the beginning of 2015, Elsevier has donated 45 free accounts to ScienceDirect for top Wikipedia editors. [image: Karl Bunday]Karl Bunday Initial reports from the users have been positive, with editors saying that access to ScienceDirect has improved efficiency in their work. Wiki editors also acknowledge the increased benefit to the end users of Wikipedia – students and researchers. Karl Bunday <https://www.linkedin.com/in/kmbunday>, Wiki editor in Social & Behavioral Sciences, wrote, "Thanks for making such a useful resource available in a way that will encourage many students and independent researchers around the world to dig deeper into the sources about topics mentioned on Wikipedia." Commenting on how ScienceDirect access helps him in his work as a Wiki editor, he said: The articles I edit on Wikipedia tend to be very controversial, and are mostly sourced to top tier primary journal literature. I'd like to make sure that the journal articles are verified and correctly and completely cited as they are used in Wikipedia text. Having access to many of these journals makes my life as an editor much easier. [image: Jake Orlowitz (Photo by Christopher Schwarzkopf, WMDE, <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons)]Jake Orlowitz (Photo by Christopher Schwarzkopf, WMDE, CC BY-SA 3.0 <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0>, via Wikimedia Commons) Since the first donation round, more Wiki editors have expressed interest and submitted applications. Elsevier and The Wikipedia Library team are reviewing these and have agreed to expand the program in the coming months so more editors can benefit from the service. Jake Orlowitz <https://www.linkedin.com/pub/jake-orlowitz/56/216/583>, Head of The Wikipedia Library, commented on the importance of quality sources for open knowledge: Wikipedia is the world's hub for open knowledge, and its reliability depends on the quality of the sources we can read and cite. Elsevier's publications are rich in quality and by donating access to Wikipedia's top editors we aim to dramatically improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the Encyclopedia. It's a promising partnership that moves towards openness from publishers and scholars through collaboration with the open knowledge community and movement.

Elsevier publishes some of the best science scholarship in the world, and our globally located volunteers often seek out that access but don't have access to research libraries. Elsevier is helping us bridge that gap! We are excited to have Elsevier among our publisher donation partners at the Wikipedia Library, helping our volunteers create the world’s largest free Encyclopedia. [image: Alexandra de Lange]Alexandra de Lange "It's great to see how this access enables highly contributing Wikipedia editors to dive deeper into the articles they are editing,” said Alexandra de Lange <https://nl.linkedin.com/pub/alexandra-de-lange-van-oosten/4/b43/aa8>, Head of Third Party Platform Relations at Elsevier. “Wikipedia editors play a valuable role, acting as a bridge between the scientific content we make available through ScienceDirect, which mainly target academic audiences, and Wikipedia articles aimed at the broader public.” ------------------------------ What’s included in the ScienceDirect – Wiki editor deal? So far, Elsevier has made 45 free accounts available to its published content online on ScienceDirect to help Wikipedia editors write and edit articles for the encyclopedia. These ScienceDirect Wiki editor accounts are divided into three main science disciplines: - 25 accounts for Health & Life Sciences (see the included journals <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/journals/colhealthlife.xls>, books <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/books/coledhls.xls>, Reference Modules in Chemistry <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/referenceworks/9780124095472> and Reference Modules in Biomedical Sciences <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/referenceworks/9780128012383>.) - 10 accounts for Social & Behavioral Sciences (see the included journals <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/journals/colsocbeh.xls> and books <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/books/coledphys.xls>) - 10 accounts for Physical Sciences (see the included journals <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/journals/colphyseng.xls>, books <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/books/coledsbs.xls>, Reference Module in Chemistry <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/referenceworks/9780124095472>and Reference Module in Earth Systems <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/referenceworks/9780124095489>) According to their area of specialty, Wikipedia editors can apply for one of these ScienceDirect access collections. How it works The ScienceDirect Wiki Editor accounts are available for top contributing Wiki Editors. The Wikipedia Library team has outlined the requirements that define “top editors” (see below), and editors who feel they meet the criteria can apply for access. The Wikipedia Library team reviews the applications and determines which editors are eligible and informs Elsevier. These selected editors are then set up with a ScienceDirect access code tailored to include the subject content they applied for. Their access is initially valid for one year, after which editors who have actively used their account can reapply through the Wikipedia Library team. Main requirements 1. Editors have a Wikipedia account that is a minimum of 1 year old 2. Editors have made a minimum of 500 edits to Wikipedia 3. Editors are active in content generation, research, and/or verification work If Wiki editors have access to ScienceDirect through their university or alumni program, they are urged to use that account instead, to make sure the limited number of ScienceDirect Wiki Editor accounts are fairly allocated. -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
