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.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is the game changer in this and it has propelled the growth of large numbers of Electronic Resources across the world. In the electronic publishing ecosystem, scholarly E-Resources form a major stakeholder targeting the electronic information systems, researchers and the academic community. E-Resources extend numerous advantages to information systems and to the user community. They offer concurrent and multiple access to the content, remote access, multimedia facilities, online searching, and considerable storage savings. Information systems could also explore numerous resource base enhancement innovations such as the UGC Infonet, INDEST Consortium etc. and several Open Source Digital Library technologies towards making the library vibrant, resourceful, outreaching, accessible and visible. However, there are numerous challenges faced by Digital Libraries in managing these resources as each one has it own characteristics and particularities in its format and meaning. *Objective * Keeping in view the way information and knowledge is generated and the paradigm shift undergone by major libraries to e-resources, the main objective of this workshop is to empower users in Information and Communication Technologies working in university libraries and public service institutions. This workshop will also enhance skills in building your own digital libraries, document repositories, content management and information retrieval strategies and utilize various e-resources available to the world at large, effectively promoting knowledge based-services. *Content: * - Information Management - Web 2.0 applications in information sharing, collaborations and value added services - E-Resources Management Strategies - Digital Libraries using Open Source software “Greenstone” - Scholarly Electronic Resources  Institutional Repositories (Open Access Archives) using “DSpace”, “OAI Harvester” etc. - Web based Content Management Applications (CMS) using “Drupal”, “Joomla” etc. - Federated Searches and Discovery Services  Single Sign-On and Remote Login Services - Consortia approach to Library's digital / electronic collection building activities Methodology - Interactive sessions - Practical presentations - Feedback and support *Delegate Profile* Librarians, & Information Managers, College/University Teachers and Professionals interested in the field. *Registration* Outstation participants: Rs 3500/-per participant (Includes lunch, tea on all days of the workshop and accommodation will also be provided at the Center for Academic Excellence, Christ University, Bangalore) Local participants: Rs 2500/-per participant (Includes lunch & tea on all days of the workshop) * Payment details* DD drawn in favour of “Christ University, Bangalore”, payable at Bangalore *Last day for registration: 9th February 2013 * *Venue:* Seminar Room, Christ Junior College Block, IV Floor, Christ University campus Sd/- Dr (Fr) ABRAHAM V M Pro-Vice Chancellor Christ University, Bangalore *For more information/clarification, you may contact:* Dr. Kennedy Andrew Thomas The Director, Total Quality Management System (TQMS), Christ University, Bangalore 560029 Phone 91-800-40129451/40129454 Fax: 91-80-40129000Mobile -9343521435 Email: cedbec(a)christuniversity.in / kennedy.andrew(a)christuniversity.in REGISTRATION FORM : Attached with this mail.
