AB Interview with Prof. Martin Blume, Editor-in-Chief, American
Physical Society. In 1996, Professor Martin Blume, a condensed matter
physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in the United States
took over as the Editor-in-Chief of the American Physical Society
(APS). It was growth time for electronic publishing and the Internet,
which were establishing themselves as the preferred modes of scholarly
communication. The APS, which publishes the prestigious physics
journals Physical Review and Physical Review Letters, had to adapt and
evolve to the digital age.

OP 9, 34
AB Library use is exremely important for chemistry students. The
Spectrum: Your students say that one of the most valuable lessons
they’ve learned in the Turro Lab involves the importance of “mastering”
the chemical literature. What’s your definition of mastery? Turro: You
can never totally master the literature. But there are certain levels
of mastery that are essential and are straightforwardly achievable by
all students. In fact, there is a certain attitude that students should
take with respect to the literature. Most students don’t fully
appreciate the importance of this attitude until they discover that
somebody knows something that they themselves should have known and
could have known if they had studied the literature properly. The basic
attitude required is that you should be familiar with enough of the
literature so that you never unnecessarily repeat work published in the
past and that you should be aware in broad strokes of what has been
published in the past. Due to their dependence on the web, students
don’t seem to know how to use a library effectively any more. Rather
than go to the library, they go to the web, and punch in a few key
words. Something comes up or something doesn’t come up. And to them,
that’s it. If it doesn’t come up, it doesn’t exist. In a talk a few
years ago, you quoted a student who summarized the Turro Corollary on
mastering the chemical literature in one sentence: “Three months in the
laboratory can save a couple of hours in the library.”

OP 65
AB IN A letter penned in 1676, Isaac Newton famously wrote, “If I have
seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” Although it
is debatable whether Newton was being modest or making a barbed comment
towards his correspondent (a competitor of short stature) the phrase
epitomises views of how science progresses—with the speedy and open
publishing of discoveries so that others may make use of them to push
back the frontiers of human understanding. For centuries, printed
journals destined for university libraries have been the focus of this
publishing activity. The winds of change, though, are sweeping through
these quiet and dusty corridors. Because of the internet, cost and
distance are no longer barriers to providing the results of research to
more than just a restricted and privileged few. This is leading people
to ask why those results are not, in fact, freely available to all.

AB Editorial -- Every September, a ripple of excitement passes through
the scientific community as the Institute of Scientific Information
(ISI) publishes its latest set of impact factors, in which some six
thousand journals are ranked according to the number of citations they
received in the previous year. The release of these results triggers
elation or gloom in editorial offices around the world, but for many
scientists it is no more than light entertainment, the scientific
equivalent of tabloid gossip. For others, however, it represents
something more serious, because their career prospects are increasingly
affected by the impact factors of the journals in which they publish.
Although bibliometric data undoubtedly have the potential to reveal
significant insights into the quality of scientific work, they are also
susceptible to abuse. It is therefore worth examining in some detail
how they are derived and how they are now being applied.

JF Journal of the American Society for Information Science
YR 1996
VO 47
IS 2
SP 146
OP 158
AB Adoption of an NSFnet connection at an institutional level is a
costly undertaking. The decision to connect requires a hierarchy of
subordinate decisions relating to the network connection. If any group
of faculty resist adopting and using the network, the potential
benefits of the network and its services will not be realized for the
institution as a whole. A study was undertaken to explore factors that
influence the adoption and use of electronic networks and network
services by science and engineering faculty in small universities and
colleges. Adoption was measured by the dichotomous variable of use and
non-use for the network and for five individual services. Intensity of
use was selected as a measure of use. In general, factors found to
influence the adoption of the network are different from those that
influence the intensity of use and the number of services used. For
this reason, different actions are necessary to enhance adoption and
increase use. Physical access to a networked workstation seems to be
the biggest determinant to adoption of the network. Expanding training
programs to include a broader audience and a broader scope will
increase use.

it is said, three types of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics. Many
scientists, who find their work assessed through attempts to gauge how
often it is cited in the scientific literature, would surely subscribe
to that view. Citation analysis, in the hands of non-experts, can be an
extremely blunt instrument. What's more, the specialists in the field
have found that raw citation data often contain errors.

Moreover, globalization of computer technology makes possible new forms
of technical and social organizations that influence the efficiency of
business enterprises as well as the quality of life of ordinary
citizens. Globalization occurs at both the national and the
international levels. The technology of globalization is driven by
commercial incentives. Electronic commerce is a major component of the
emerging global open marketplace. Education is the world's potentially
largest information industry. Globalization allows new methods of
packaging and delivering educational products. Underlying globalization
is a set of networking technologies for human-computer interaction. The
Internet can be a tool for creating common values and respect in

reasons, such as for standards and security.

for the development and testing of this model included website
evaluation sessions and group interviews with 11 young female students.
Data analysis took the form of iterative pattern coding using QSR
NUD*IST Vivo qualitative data analysis software. Data analysis
uncovered strong support for the theoretical and empirical models.
Related implications for website designers are discussed, with an
emphasis on the importance of enabling users to modify website design
to satisfy their personal preferences. Related implications for

libraries are able to offer the entire range of journals, with the
others being forced to make a selection. The objective of the present
work is to describe criteria to regulate the selection of these
journals to provide the researcher with the information that is most
being used in research. One form of quantifying this information is by
way of the citations that papers receive over a period of time
following their publication. Obsolescence, expressed in terms of an
annual aging factor, does not reflect the real behaviour of most
papers. An alternative is the use of topicality, considered as a latent
variable, with the Rasch model as the measuring instrument. We
considered 45 physics journals, and found the results of applying the
Rasch model to be more satisfactory than those obtained with the annual
aging factor.

goal. We can achieve it only by changing our attitudes toward
scientific publishing. Computer scientists are in a position to create
new, free high-quality journals and contribute in this way to a free
dissemination of scientific knowledge. We should draw our inspiration
from the success of the GNU project (www.gnu.org), started by Richard
Stallman and joined by leading programmers, the aim of which is to
develop free software as a viable alternative to commercially produced
software. We should also listen to mathematicians and economists [1, 2]
who convincingly argue for the creation of new inexpensive mathematics
and economics journals that would supersede the overpriced ones.

important, within the scope of the complex relationship between
authors, publishers, and distributors (distributors in this case being
academic libraries). This examination involves looking at changes
within this triumvirate, the relationship each of the three has with
the other, and ramifications of the changes as we peer into the near
future. The three members of the triumvirate are intricately and
inextricably bound together, and problems that occur within any one
component will inevitably affect the others, imperiling the
relationship between writer and reader. Such potential problems are
brought to light in this article.

achievement, especially counting such publications to determine whether
they exceed a prescribed threshold, ignores significant evidence of
accomplishment in computer science and engineering. For example,
conference publication is preferred in the field, and computational
artifacts —software, chips, etc. —are a tangible means of conveying
ideas and insight. Obligating faculty to be evaluated by this
traditional standard handicaps their careers, and indirectly harms the
field. This document describes appropriate evidence of academic
achievement in computer science and engineering.

AB Librarianship has become preoccupied, perhaps to a point of
obsession, with its own future. There seems to be a growing sense that
change is now moving at such a rate that steering may have ceased to be
an option. But that is all the more reason to stop now for a moment -
balanced, as we are, on the cusp between millennia - to reaffirm, or
redefine, the core values of information services, and to consider how
those values can be most effectively fulfilled in the intermediate
future. The aim of this article will be to suggest answers to two
questions. First, what should be the primary purpose of information
services in general and libraries in particular as we enter the new
millennium? Second, assuming such a purpose, what array of services
should the library be prepared to provide? While these questions will
be approached mainly from the academic library perspective, much of
what is said should be applicable to all types of libraries. The
division in any case between certain types of libraries - especially
public and academic - is becoming increasingly problematic and
questionable from both the service and the economic perspectives.
Although initial efforts to combine public and academic libraries have
predictably experienced major political and methodological challenges
(see Flagg, [1999]), we should, nevertheless, persist in those efforts
eventually to bring about such a merger.

through journals, produced by professional societies and independent

such results and is forcing researchers and publishers to reassess the
old procedures and consider new possibilities as we learn to use the

an opportunity to identify different variables, i.e. shelf level, book
jackets, added entries, and untraced series, that impacted a book's
circulation behavior and to consider the relationship between
circulation and the Internet/online database activity. Using the
political science collection, the investigator found that shelf level
has the strongest impact on circulation among the variables studied,
but the Internet and electronic reference databases have an even
greater influence on circulation. Surprisingly, one of the conclusions
was that 61 percent of the political science collection either
circulated only once or never circulated. It is argued that because of
the pressures the Internet and electronic reference databases are
placing on book collections and their use it is more important than
ever to identify new collection development strategies to pinpoint

(i.e., convenience). This article examines why students may also
believe that full-text databases have superior content. In addition,
psychology students were asked what percentage of relevant psychology
articles was available online and in print at their library and a

AB ABSTRACT. One part of a library use survey administered in 1993 to
the users of the libraries of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville
was analyzed to provide a profile of the reading behaviors of science
faculty. The survey questions were grouped into the four steps in
accomplishing a document reading: finding, getting, reading, and using
a document. The science faculty tended to find their document by
browsing. The document was generally obtained from a personalized
subscription. Science faculty predominately read journals and books and
read almost 50 articles a year from the journal they obtained their
last read document from. The science faculty were mostly likely to use
their reading for research. Science faculty appreciated the
capabilities of electronic document transmission, but had a marked
preference for paper transmission. Few differences were found between
science and non-science faculty, mostly in their specific concerns for
electronic or print transmission and in the uses of their readings.

T1 Libraries Designed for Learning
YR 2003

AB To what extent have recent library design projects been driven by an
understanding of how students learn and how faculty teach? To find out,
Yale Librarian Emeritus Scott Bennett conducted an extensive study of
the motivations and planning methods for library renovation and
construction projects undertaken between 1992 and 2001. His study
entailed a Web-based survey of more than 380 institutions, and phone
interviews with 31 library directors and chief academic officers. He
concludes that while most of the projects are serving users well, they
have rarely been informed by a systematic assessment of how students
learn and faculty teach. The author suggests that planning based on
such an assessment could equip the library to serve an even more vital
function as a space for teaching and learning. The report is intended
for academic librarians who are responsible for library construction
and renovation projects, and for campus academic officers who wish to
engage substantively with the question of how library space can advance
the core learning and teaching missions of their institutions.

AB Science and technology are seen in this paper as dominated by stable
elites, who tend to center around traditionally prestegious
institutions and publish their work in U.S. association journals.
Consequently, U.S. association serials have higher ST value, and they
play a dominant role in internal library use but also in interlibrary
loan. Due to their higher ST value, association journals can be sold in
higher numbers and at cheaper prices than journals of commercial
publishers, and this causes the ST serials market to bifurcate, with ST
value tending to concentrate on the U.S. association serials and costs
on the commercial ones.

Failure to understand this has led to the proliferation of millions of

The most immediate cause of information overload on the Web is caused
by the Web trying to fill the dual role of being both a private and
public information and communication medium. The first attempt to deal
with the information overload on the Web was the search engine. Well
over 100 search engines have now been identified, including meta-level
search engines. The reality is that these search engines, which help
make cyberspace manageable, now index more chaff than wheat. Search
engines are inherently ill-equipped to deal with the extreme
variegation and lack of quality control over resources on the Web. A
partial solution is to develop personal software agents, information
customization tools, and to introduce brand names to the Internet.

IS 2
AB The current mainstream scientific-publication process has so far
been only marginally affected by the possibilities offered by the
Internet, despite some pioneering attempts with free electronic-only
journals and electronic preprint archives. Additional electronic
versions of traditional paper journals for which one needs a
subscription are not a solution. A clear trend, for young researchers
in particular, is to go around subscription barriers (both for paper
and electronic material) and rely almost exclusively on what they can
find free on the Internet, which often includes working versions posted
on the home pages of the authors. A survey of how scientists retrieve
publications was conducted in February 2000, aimed at measuring to what
extent the opportunities offered by the Internet are already changing
the scientific information exchange and how researchers feel about
this. This paper presents the results based on 236 replies to an
extensive Web-based questionnaire, which was announced to around 3,000
researchers in the domains of construction information technology and
construction management.

T1 Earlier Web Usage Statistics as Predictors of Later Citation Impact
YR 2005
SP 1
OP 11
AB The use of citation counts to assess the impact of research articles
is well established. However, the citation impact of an article can
only be measured several years after it has been published. As research
articles are increasingly accessed through the Web, the number of times
an article is downloaded can be instantly recorded and counted. One
would expect the number of times an article is read to be related both
to the number of times it is cited and to how old the article is. This
paper analyses how short-term Web usage impact predicts medium-term
citation impact. The physics e-print archive (arXiv.org) is used to
test this. This article has been submitted to JASIST.

YR 2003

OP 371
AB This study characterizes the usage and acceptance of electronic
preprints (e-prints) in the literature of chemistry. Survey of authors
of e-prints appearing in the Chemistry Preprint Server (CPS) at
http://preprints. chemweb.com indicates use of the CPS as a convenient
vehicle for dissemination of research findings and for receipt of
feedback before submitting to a peer-reviewed journal. Reception of CPS
e-prints by editors of top chemistry journals is very poor. Only 6% of
editors responding allow publication of articles that have previously
appeared as e-prints. Concerns focus on the lack of peer review and the
uncertain permanence of e-print storage. Consequently, it was not
surprising to discover that citation analysis yielded no citations to
CPS e-prints in the traditional literature of chemistry. Yet data
collected and posted by the CPS indicates that the e-prints are valued,
read, and discussed to a notable extent within the chemistry community.
Thirty-two percent of the most highly rated, viewed, and discussed e-
prints eventually appear in the journal literature, indicating the
validity of the work submitted to the CPS. This investigation
illustrates the ambivalence with which editors and authors view the
CPS, but also gives an early sense of the potential free and rapid
information dissemination, coupled with open, uninhibited discussion
and evaluation, has to expand, enrich, and vitalize the scholarly
discourse of chemical scientists.

AB Increasingly, the World Wide Web seems to be luring students away
from their local campus library for their research assignments. This
articles' intent is not to examine why this phenomenon is taking place.
Rather, its purpose is to outline some strategies for promoting an
academic library and therefore improving awareness of library services-
-so as to not lose one of the academic library's primary user groups,
the undergraduate student, to resources such as the Web. A foundation
will be laid by first examining the definition of marketing, the
overriding concept of promotion. Building on this foundation, possible
strategies for increasing student awareness and use of the academic
library--its services and resources--will be outlined. Along the way,
examples ranging from "the mild" to "the wild" will be detailed to
demonstrate that promotional campaigns truly can take all sorts of
shapes. Any promotional style results in a win-win situation for
everyone involved: the students learn from and with the library staff,
and the library becomes a strong partner in the educational lives of
the students.

interdependent. These sections ask questions such as: Who will take the

important aid to theoretical grounding with regard to information
seeking. In particular, his ideas of dialogic communication suggest a
way to engage in the act of information seeking and the accompanying
mediation. His work is especially important because of its
phenomenological basis, which emphasizes the intentionality of
communication, the connection of practice to being, and the
relationship between self and other. Bakhtin's thought offers a
framework for the rethinking of public services in libraries.

precisely, we investigate the conditional distribution--and its mean--
of the number of citations to a paper after time t, given the number of
citations it has received up to time t. In an important parametric case
it is shown that the expected number of future citations is a linear
function of the current number, this being interpretable as an example

AB A recently proposed stochastic model to describe the citation
process in the presence of obsolescence is used to answer the question:
If a paper has not been cited by time t after its publication, what is
the probability that it will ever be cited? For a homogenous set of
papers given the average rate at which a paper attracts citations,
Burrell calculates the probability that a paper will ever be cited
assuming it has not been cited in a given time. The longer the elapsed
time without citation the greater the likelihood it will never be
cited.

JF Nature (Web Focus)
YR 2004
AB The topic of this Nature web focus, the future of access to the
scientific literature, is the subject of lively debate among
librarians, publishers, learned societies, and scientists. Much of the
debate is about whether the literature should be 'open access,' and if
so, how the costs of publishing should be met, and by whom. Should
scientific publishing, as some argue, be primarily financed upfront by
funding agencies, akin to the way in which public funds are often used
to pay for the publishing of genome, astronomical and crystallographic
data in large databases? Or are the needs of scientists, quality, and
innovation, best served by a competitive market in publishing? Or is
the optimal solution a mix of both, depending of what it is that is
being published?

In June and July, television viewers in three US cities were treated to

to the voiceover: "In the year 2003, the Public Library of Science made
it possible for people all over the world to have access to the latest
scientific discoveries. Shortly thereafter, things began to change." In
a scene reminiscent of The Matrix: Reloaded, the man then zoomed off

improve access for midmajor teams ordinarily denied invitations to
these lucrative postseason games. Although still subject to final
approval, this agreement is expected to be instituted with the new BCS
contract just prior to the 2006 season. There aren’t too many ways that
things could have gone worse this past college football season with the
BCS Standings governing which teams play in the coveted BCS bowls. The
controversy over USC’s absence from the BCS National Championship game,
despite being #1 in both polls, garnered most of the media attention
[12], but it is the yearly treatment received by the “non-BCS” midmajor
schools that appears to have finally generated changes in the BCS

Some of the institutions are even cutting back on their subscriptions
to avoid having to pay for a "bundle" of the publications, which
university libraries on tight budgets say they can no long afford. The
company, Reed Elsevier, is based in the Netherlands and sells
subscriptions to a collection of 1,200 online journals that is called
ScienceDirect. A bundled subscription costs far less than individual
subscriptions to all 1,200 journals, but the bundled package also
includes many specialized publications that comparatively few
researchers use, and Elsevier does not permit institutions to create
their own bundles.

operations of these publishers against industry-standard benchmarks to
assess their business practices and to examine the effect of recent

publications, they can have an enormous influence on the future of
scientific publications--if they assert themselves. One trend is the
very high and rapidly increasing prices of commercial science journals
that are threatening the ability of university and industry libraries
to maintain their access to the scientific literature. Libraries
nationwide are canceling subscriptions to less used journals, only to
see their costs continue to rise much faster than inflation. Although
ACS journals provide very high quality at a reasonable cost, commercial
publishers such as Elsevier charge much higher prices for what, in some
cases, are lower quality journals.

AB Current research on the influence of electronic communication
technologies such as electronic mail, World Wide Web, electronic
journals, bibliographic databases, and on-line card catalogs suggest
that they broaden academic research communities and change the ways
researchers work. However, it is less well-understood how these changes
take place. One explanation is that the mechanism for change is
generational: doctoral students transform research disciplines as they
apply new electronic communication skills they grew up with. This
article examines this explanation and related claims through evidence
from a study of 28 graduate students and their advisors in four
disciplines (molecular biology, literary theory, sociology, and
computer science) at eight U.S. research universities. Although all the
doctoral students used electronic communication technologies in various
ways, their work practices reinforced existing patterns of work and
resource use in their disciplines. Students used electronic
communication to (1) mimic the electronic communication patterns of
their advisor, (2) differentiate or specialize their research with
respect to their advisor or research specialty, (3) enhance the social
connections and material resources their advisor or institution
provided to them, and/or (4) ease or improve hands-on research
techniques (textual analysis, wet lab work, programming, statistical
analysis) that their advisor or research group delegated to them.

AB Academic and special libraries are in the midst of a shift toward
hybrid collections. This shift from collection ownership to an
information access model supports the distributed nature of learning
and work. However, unanticipated consequences of these changes are
emerging. One confounding result is a visible pattern of
discontinuities in collections, with unique features for electronic
products. Patterns of discontinuities encountered included the
occurrence of intermittent holes and unintentionally masked
information. This has both immediate and long-term implications for
library users and services, and there are not yet coherent measures to
assess these sorts of outcomes. A framework is required for the
systematic evaluation of the effects of new systems such as bundled
electronic resources. This research suggests that evaluating both use
and non-use of electronic collections will supplement other
acquisitions and service measures to support long-range planning and
decision-making.

accurate evidence-based information needed at the point of patients’
care to make health-care delivery more reliable? Will open access truly
generate, capture, and redirect cost savings to fund additional
research? Will open sharing of research accelerate the uptake of
translational research by busy practising physicians and modernise
their medical practice? While these are among the many and varied

AB Classical assumptions about the nature and ethical entailments of
authorship (the standard model) are being challenged by developments in
scientific collaboration and multiple authorship. In the biomedical
research community, multiple authorship has increased to such an extent
that the trustworthiness of the scientific communication system has
been called into question. Documented abuses, such as honorific
authorship, have serious implications in terms of the acknowledgment of
authority, allocation of credit, and assigning of accountability.
Within the biomedical world it has been proposed that authors be
replaced by lists of contributors (the radical model), whose specific
inputs to a given study would be recorded unambiguously. The wider
implications of the hyperauthorship phenomenon for scholarly
publication are considered.

the impact of availability of locally mounted databases, determined
needs for modification of instructional programs, identified the need
for promotional material, and established a baseline for subsequent
studies. Results reflected a wide variation in the number and format of
secondary services used by faculty. Over 70% of all faculty from the
colleges of medicine, pharmacy, and nursing used Index Medicus or
MEDLINE. There were statistically significant differences between
colleges in their use of mediated and end-user searching of MEDLINE.
Colleges exhibited significant differences in use of Current Contents,
PsycLIT, ERIC, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature
(CINAHL), Chemical Abstracts, and Science Citation Index. Statistically
significant differences also were found among several clinical
departments. The study concluded that, as new formats to bibliographic
tools become available, traditional formats continue to be used;
training sessions must be tailored to the audience; and the
availability of local resources and their use by faculty needs to be
understood.

AB This paper reports on an ongoing investigation into health sciences
faculty's information-seeking behavior, including their use of new
information technologies. A survey was administered to all faculty in
medicine, nursing, and pharmacy at the University of Illinois at
Chicago. It was similar to one administered to the same population in
1991. The survey asked about faculty's use of electronic resources,
documented any shift from the use of print to electronic formats, and
measured the utilization of library training. The response rate was
48.5% for medicine faculty, 45.0% for nursing, and 62.5% for pharmacy.
The study found that use of the print Index Medicus among faculty was
in transition: While 30.5% continued to use the print resources, 68.0%
of faculty accessed MEDLINE through electronic means. Faculty preferred
accessing electronic databases from their offices to doing so from the
library. Health sciences faculty used a wide variety of databases, in
addition to MEDLINE, to fill their information needs. Most faculty did
not take advantage of either in-house or electronic training sessions
offered by librarians. The study concluded that the training
preferences of faculty need to be further explored.

goal of this work is to better understand the tools used and pathways
taken when scientists connect to electronic journals. While various
methods of referral were identified in this study, most individuals
were referred infrequently and followed few and consistent pathways
each time they connected. The relationship between the number and types
of referrals followed an inverse-square law. Whereas the majority of
referrals came from established finding tools (library catalog, library
e-journal list, and bibliographic databases), a substantial number of
referrals originated from generic Web searches. Scientists are also
relying on local alternatives or substitutes such as departmental or
personal Web pages with lists of linked publications. The use of
electronic mail as a method to refer scientists directly to online
articles may be greatly underestimated. Implications for the
development of redundant library services such as e-journal lists and
the practice of publishers to allow linking from other resources are
discussed.

citations were verified online to see if they still existed and were
classed as: found directly, not found directly but found elsewhere,
found after correcting a typographical error, and not found (after a
site and Google search). The average number of citations increased form
11.6 in 1996 to 11.9 in 1999. The mean number of journals and magazines
did not change significantly. Overall median citations increased form
10 to 12. Book citations dropped from 30% to 19%, Web citation went
from 9% to 21%, and newspapers increased form 7% to 16%. There was a
significant decline in the use of books and journals in favor of the
use of newspapers and magazines interpreted as a decline in the use of
scholarly materials. For 1999 URLs, 55% went directly to a cited
document, 19% were found elsewhere, and 10% contained errors. 16% were
not found. Of the 1996 citations only 18% of the URLs still led
directly to the cited document, 26%were found elsewhere, 3% had errors
and 53% could not be found. The authors believe stricter guidelines for
acceptable citations are called for, as is the creation of scholarly
portals, and increased instruction on resource evaluation.

AB Purpose: This research sought to determine use of online biomedical
journals and databases and to assess current user characteristics
associated with the use of online resources in an academic health
sciences center. Setting: The Library of the Health Sciences–Peoria is
a regional site of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Library
with 350 print journals, more than 4,000 online journals, and multiple
online databases. Methodology: A survey was designed to assess online
journal use, print journal use, database use, computer literacy levels,
and other library user characteristics. A survey was sent through
campus mail to all (471) UIC Peoria faculty, residents, and students.
Results: Forty-one percent (188) of the surveys were returned. Ninety-
eight percent of the students, faculty, and residents reported having
convenient access to a computer connected to the Internet. While 53% of
the users indicated they searched MEDLINE at least once a week, other
databases showed much lower usage. Overall, 71% of respondents
indicated a preference for online over print journals when possible.
Conclusions: Users prefer online resources to print, and many choose to
access these online resources remotely. Convenience and full-text
availability appear to play roles in selecting online resources. The
findings of this study suggest that databases without links to full
text and online journal collections without links from bibliographic
databases will have lower use. These findings have implications for
collection development, promotion of library resources, and end-user
training.

findings of an international study on information-seeking habits and

staff, the OCLC Market Research team developed a project and
commissioned Harris Interactive Inc. to survey a representative sample
of information consumers. In June of 2005, we collected over 3,300
responses from information consumers in Australia, Canada, India,
Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Perceptions
report provides the findings and responses from the online survey in an
effort to learn more about: Library use, Awareness and use of library
electronic resources, The Internet search engine, the library and the
librarian, Free vs. for-fee information, The "Library" brand The
findings indicate that information consumers view libraries as places
to borrow print books, but they are unaware of the rich electronic
content they can access through libraries. Even though information
consumers make limited use of these resources, they continue to trust
libraries as reliable sources of information.

AB A small written survey with innovation engineers in a large company
is discussed, giving some figures on both behaviour and attitudes with
respect to 1) information gathering, 2) information
production/dissemination and 3) information storage and management.
Most results confirm the trends in other research with R & D engineers:
the use and management of information is rather improvised with low
levels of sophistication. High tech information techniques (databases,
online...) are only marginally important in this high-tech environment.
Only younger engineers do some structured efforts. The general attitude
is to rely mostly on oral, personal and occasional information sources.
By combining positive attitudes and behaviour aspects towards
information in the job, a measure of 'information-orientation' was
constructed, which can be seen as an extension of the classical concept
of 'gate-keepers' in a company. A few questions to reconstruct a
'critical incident' with respect to information problems reveal that
information situations can be very time- and money-consuming but again
solutions depend on occasional and unstructured information work.
However the restricted written approach did not prove to be a good one
for this kind of analysis. More in-depth interview-techniques will be
necessary for analysis within the 'critical incident theory'-frame.

AB Since Web of Science is the more familiar product, it will be
discussed first for each point. A discussion of Scopus will follow, and
then a comparison of the two products. Some common and satisfactory
elements will be treated in summary fashion. Most details of exactly
how to use specific features in each product are thoroughly treated in
the online Help, and need not be discussed in detail in this review,
but we will emphasize necessary details that the Help omits. Scopus was
released on November 10, 2004, after widely publicized beta trials at a
few universities. In our opinion, the underlying data is not as
complete as other products usually released by major vendors.
Nonetheless, because of the great interest in this database, it is
being reviewed on the basis of the content and other features available
on the date of the release. When the publisher demonstrates that the
basic data has been loaded, we will reevaluate the product.

AB Five years ago BMJ readers responded to the challenge of predicting
what online articles would look like in the future in five general
medical journals. Has the development of electronic publishing lived up
to their predictions? Our 1997 Christmas issue carried several
descriptions of what an online scientific article would look like by
now.1 We asked readers for their predictions and promised a prize,
based on comparisons with contemporary articles "appearing in online
versions of the Annals of Internal Medicine, BMJ, JAMA, Lancet, and New
England Journal of Medicine (should they still exist)." These five
general medical journals still exist. While all now have full text
online versions, you'd be hard pressed to see much change in their
articles over the past five years. Nevertheless, on closer inspection,
vague hints of change are detectable, although for their full blooded
realisation you'll need to look elsewhere.

K1 Descriptor: Citation analysis.
K1 Biological literature -- Evaluation
AB A preliminary citation analysis of the literature of systematic
botany (plant taxonomy) was based on 1986 issues of Brittonia,
Systematic Botany, and Taxon. These three journals together covered the
three facets of systematic activity: alpha-taxonomy, beta-taxonomy, and
phylogeny. The three journals included 164 papers, of which 105 dealt
specifically with taxonomy or nomenclature, and cited a total of 53
theses, 804 book titles, and 567 journal titles. Nonbook citations
totaled 1055 (698 from the exclusively taxonomic papers); journal
citations numbered 2088 (1168 from taxonomic works). The decade with
the greatest number of citations was 1977-1986, but the proportion of
older citations was much higher than what would be expected for
scientific literature. The list of titles is highly diversified,
reflecting the nature of systematic botany. Internal citations
(citations accompanying lists of nomenclatural synonymies but not
repeated in the Literature Cited section) account for 11% (4-23%) of
the total number of journal titles, 11% (5-20%) of the journal
citations, and 23% (3-33%) of the book titles cited. In order to
recover 80% of the relevant citations in botany (determined from the
total citation count), one would need to obtain 34% of the titles; for
systematic botany specifically, 60% of the journal titles would be
required. Comparatively few of the titles cited in these three journals
(ca. 6%) are included in the subject list for botany in the Science
Citation Index, whereas approximately 59% are covered by Biological
Abstracts. This helps account for the preference of systematic
botanists for the Abstracts in doing literature searches. Invisible
colleges, subject specialization based on plant families/genera, and
the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature all have important
roles in determining the literature requirements and idiosyncrasies of
publication in the field.

AB The founder of the University of Berlin, Wilhelm Von Humboldt, did
the most to promote universities as places of research. During World
War II, the US government offered contracts to some universities for
research helpful to the war effort. This practice was institutionalized
with the creation of the National Science Foundation in 1950 and the
Advanced Research Projects Agency in the early 1960s. Yet something has
happened to tarnish the image of research in universities. Despite its
many successes, 2 major problems with academic research carry
considerable weight among federal lawmakers who question whether the
massive spending on university research produces the value claimed. One
problem is the publish or perish syndrome, which tends to stress
quantity over quality. The second problem is that research does not
conform to the linear model envisaged by early proponent Vannevar Bush.
Information technology also threatens academic research. Focusing on
innovations, the ultimate value of research, may be the answer.

AB As electronic journals, or e-journals, have become more prevalent,
publishers, libraries, and users have all had to adapt to a new
paradigm, to new methods for publishing, acquiring, providing access
to, preserving, and searching for research articles. Publishers offer
new and constantly changing subscription and pricing models, and the
prices of many commercial journals have been increasing at rates far
exceeding the rate of inflation. The resulting budget crunch has driven
significant changes in the way libraries develop their collections as
they strive to reformulate their traditional role as provider and
preserver of information. Some libraries are working more in consortium
with other libraries to purchase large bundled journal packages now
offered as one of the new subscription models developed by publishers.
While this appears to be a win-win situation for libraries and users in
the consortium, potential drawbacks to e-journals and the big bundled
packages may impact libraries and researchers alike. This study
investigates some of the potential effects of a move toward e-journal
only collections, large bundled journal packages, and consortial
purchasing including archival, economic, content, and research impact
issues.

AB The study explores the role of information and information seeking
in the Research and Development Department of an international oil and

scientists at Statoil's Research Centre, in Trondheim, Norway were
studied in relation to their research activities in different phases
and types of project. The project phases were evaluation of alternative
solutions; development and testing; and summary of experiences. The
project types were incremental; radical; and fundamental. Eight major
characteristics were identified in the patterns: surveying; chaining;
monitoring; browsing; distinguishing; filtering; extracting and ending.
The study analyses the requirements for different types of information
in an environment where the need for internal and external resources
are intertwined; it also compares features of the information seeking
patterns of engineers and research scientists from this and previous
studies, It was found that, although there were differences in the
features of the information seeking patterns of the research scientists
and engineers, the behavioural characteristics were similar; and the
study identified identical or very similar categories of information
seeking behaviour to those of previous studies of academic researchers.

T1 The devil you don’t know: The unexpected future of Open Access
publishing
JF First Monday
YR 2004
VO 9
IS 8
AB With the advent of the Internet and online publishing, the notion
has arisen that access to the world’s research publications could be
made available to one and all for free, presumably by shifting the
costs to other places in the value chain and disintermediating
publishers, a circumstance called Open Access (OA) publishing. While
there are many hopes embedded in this view (lower costs, wider access,
etc.), it appears more likely that Open Access will come about not
through a revolution in the world of legacy publishing, but through
upstart media built with the innate characteristics of the Internet in
mind. An unanticipated outcome of this situation will be that the
overall cost of research publications will rise, though the costs will
be borne by different players, primarily authors and their proxies.

AB When Orville Wright flew his airplane over a small stretch of
rolling grassland in 1903, the managing editor of Scientific American
predicted that thousands of planes would soon fly over every city,
delivering patrons to theaters. On the eve of the First World War, two
famous British aviators argued that planes would prevent wars in the
future (because they brought people together). Scientists, engineers,
and futurists have always conjectured the consequences of technology.
In the case of planes, the experts were right in recognizing that they
would profoundly affect our lives in the coming century ... but they
were certainly wrong in foretelling what that effect would be.

scales differ. In some areas of science, literature more than a few
years old has value mainly for historical reference. For
mathematicians, work from ten, twenty, or even one hundred years ago is
relevant and useful in research. Like all scientists, working
mathematicians will use and reference more recent work the most, but
having the ability to access the older literature is of essential value

AB Journals publishing is in crisis. For years, subscription prices
have gone up rapidly, with the average annual increase now close to 10
percent; some journals cost three times as much today as they did a
decade ago. The budgets of university libraries have fallen far behind,
forcing librarians to cancel subscriptions. Publishers have used
declining subscriptions as a rationale to increase prices even more.
And the literature has expanded, creating fatter journals (and yet
another reason for publishers to increase prices). Scholars and
librarians have become increasingly unhappy about the state of affairs,
and they demand action.

OP 581
AB Numerous studies of engineers' information seeking behavior have
found that accessibility was the factor that influenced most their
selection of information sources. The concept of accessibility,
however, is ambiguous and was given various interpretations by both
researchers and engineers. Detailed interviews with 32 engineers, in
which they described incidents of personal information seeking in
depth, uncovered some of the specific factors that are part of the
concept. Engineers selected sources because they had the right format,
the right level of detail, a lot of information in one place, as well
as for other reasons. When looking for human information resources, the
engineers most frequently selected sources with which they were
familiar, while saving time was the most frequently mentioned reason
for selecting documentary sources. Future research should continue to
examine the concept of accessibility through detailed empirical
investigations.

repeated at the bottom of the screen, a feature if users choose the
option of showing 200 results per page. Though the Scopus motto is
finding not searching, there is a lot of searching that can be done.
Since every search is performed in all three sources, the Scopus
database, patents, and the Web, search results stress recall rather
than precision. Basic, advanced and quick searches are available. The
Basic Search offers many field and limiting options. Field choices
include the default field of article title, abstract and keywords.

AB Information goods have negligible marginal costs, and this will
create possibilities for novel distribution and pricing methods. The
main concern of this paper is with pricing of goods that are likely to
be consumed in large quantities by individuals. For example, will
software continue to be sold at a fixed price for each unit, or will it
be paid for on the basis of usage? There is substantial evidence both
from observing marketplace evolution and from surveys that customers
overwhelmingly prefer subscription pricing. It turns out that even if
we ignore this factor, per-use pricing is not a clear winner, and
therefore when the preference effect is taken into account,
subscription pricing is likely to dominate.

AB As the number of retrospective digitization projects of journal
content increases, there is a need to assess the impact of these
projects on the productivity of researchers. Librarians making
collection development decisions about acquiring these back files need
to know how useful they are to researchers. This study provides data on
usage of a range of years of the Physical Review, and citation
information from Physical Review Letters to other Physical Review
articles. The usage of the online archive of Physical Review articles
indicates that articles are accessed all the way back to the first
issue, with an average number of downloads on the order of ten per
article per year. Both usage and citation rates show exponential decay
rates, however, with different intrinsic time scales. The citation
half-life is consistent with previous studies of the physics
literature, while the usage half-life computed here is in conflict with
older analyses of print usage of the physics literature, although in
line with some recent online usage studies in medicine. An analysis of
the citation data indicates a potential order of 10% enhancement in
citations to articles available in the online archive, but the
statistical error is of the same magnitude, so no firm conclusions can
be drawn from that data. A few more years of citation data may be able
to resolve the question of impact of the online archive on citation
rates.

the technology and understand the theory behind the phenomenon.
Furthermore, at a time when national science policy was undergoing
close scrutiny, the high-temperature superconductor boom served as a
high-profile case study of the role of government in spurring the
acceptance of new technologies. This bibliography provides resources
that chronicle the technological and scientific developments in the
field since its discovery and the policy decisions and issues that
governments and society made when faced with a possible scientific

VO 55
IS 3
SP 228
OP 237
AB This paper offers a new, nonlinear model of information-seeking
behavior, which contrasts with earlier stage models of information
behavior and represents a potential cornerstone for a shift toward a
new perspective for understanding user information behavior. The model
is based on the findings of a study on interdisciplinary information-
seeking behavior. The study followed a naturalistic inquiry approach
using interviews of 45 academics. The interview results were
inductively analyzed and an alternative framework for understanding
information-seeking behavior was developed. This model illustrates
three core processes and three levels of contextual interaction, each
composed of several individual activities and attributes. These
interact dynamically through time in a nonlinear manner. The behavioral
patterns are analogous to an artist's palette, in which activities
remain available throughout the course of information-seeking. In
viewing the processes in this way, neither start nor finish points are
fixed, and each process may be repeated or lead to any other until
either the query or context determine that information-seeking can end.
The interactivity and shifts described by the model show information-
seeking to be nonlinear, dynamic, holistic, and flowing. The paper
offers four main implications of the model as it applies to existing
theory and models, requirements for future research, and the
development of information literacy curricula. Central to these
implications is the creation of a new nonlinear perspective from which
user information-seeking can be interpreted.

However, such checklists can be effective only if the proposed
indicators of accuracy really do indicate accuracy. This study
implements a technique for testing such indicators of accuracy and uses
it to test indicators of accuracy for answers to ready reference
questions. Many of the commonly proposed indicators of accuracy (e.g.,
that the Web site does not contain advertising) were not found to be
correlated with accuracy. However, the link structure of the Internet
can be used to identify Web sites that are more likely to contain

Web. Anecdotal evidence, though, is hardly enough for developing
persuasive plans for new library services. The Digital Library
Federation (DLF) and Council on Library and Information Resources
(CLIR) commissioned Outsell, Inc., to conduct a large-scale study of
undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty members from academic
institutions ranging from the small liberal arts college to the largest
research university. Our hope was that a picture of user behavior would
emerge. This report presents a summary of the findings and 158 selected
data tables; it should be viewed as an entry to a much larger data set.
The full set of 659 data tables provided by Outsell will be mounted on
CLIR's or DLF's Web site. We encourage readers to make use of these
tables and ask that you share with us your analyses of the data. In
addition, CLIR will deposit the raw data tapes with the Inter-
University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR).

T1 The cultural shaping of scholarly communication: Explaining e-
journal use within and across academic fields
YR 2004
AB Current research on e-journal usage patterns focuses more on
measuring levels of use and measuring changes in reading patterns than
developing theoretical models that enable the explanation and
prediction of patterns in the adoption and uptake of e-journals across
scientific fields. Typically, studies either focus on single
disciplines or attempt to reach an overview of disciplinary differences
by using broad disciplinary groupings, such as physical sciences,
health sciences, applied technologies, social sciences, or humanities.
We argue that there is a need for extending the domain analytic
approach to incorporate a fuller understanding of the cultural
characteristics of scientific specialisms, which include both
epistemological and social considerations. To this end we suggest that
Whitley's theory of the social organization of scholarly fields can be
effectively used as an explanatory model of e-journal use across
scientific fields. By using Whitley's theory we also illustrate the
limitation of current approaches to the explanation of information
practices and e-journal use that use the administrative unit of the
discipline, or base comparison on coarse-grained aggregations as the
unit of analysis, rather than the specialism.

based journal publishing – in which high prices are impeding access –
is harming the interests of the very scientists who provide its life-

SP 1
AB The past decades have seen an enormous growth in the number of
scientific journals. Many of these have been founded by scientific
societies that believe that the interests of their community are best
served by having a journal focused on their area of research. Society
members, volunteering to act as editors and reviewers, set the
standards for quality and thus ensure that the journal reflects the
ambitions of the society. However, these volunteered services do not
convert accepted manuscripts into printed journals, and so many
societies rely on a commercial publishing house to take care of the
printing and distribution. There seemed to be no further consequences—
after all, they were not 'for profit'. These societies relied on the
professionalism of the publishers to get the sums right and market the
journal gently. Sometimes, perhaps to their surprise, the journal not
only satisfied the need to publish scientific works but also generated
money for the societies' activities.

AB The availability of scientific information in electronic form is the

This revolution in scientific communication has its roots in
developments that started in the mid-19th century and culminated with
the extraordinary progress in telecommunications and computer
technology in the latter years of the 20th century. Eighty-three
percent of scientific journals are now available online. The benefits
of electronic journals include rapid publication, instantaneous linking
to external information sources, and the capability to deliver new
types of information. To date neither electronic-only nor preprint
servers have been well received by the chemical sciences community.

even greater advances in communication of scientific information.

YR 2000
FD March 23, 2000
AB Dramatic increases in the capabilities and decreases in the costs of
computers and communi-cation networks have fomented revolutionary
thoughts in the scholarly publishing community. In one dimension,
traditional pricing schemes and product packages are being modified or
re-placed. We designed and undertook a large-scale field experiment in
pricing and bundling for electronic access to scholarly journals: PEAK.
We provided Internet-based delivery of content from 1200 Elsevier
Science journals to users at multiple campuses and commercial
facilities. Our primary research objective was to generate rich
empirical evidence on user behavior when faced with various bundling
schemes and price structures. In this article we explain the different
types and levels of cost that users faced when accessing individual
articles, and report on the ef-fect of these costs on usage. We found
that both monetary and non-monetary user costs have a significant
impact on the demand for electronic access. We also estimate how taking
user costs into account would change the "optimal" (least cost) bundle
of access options that an institution should purchase.

FD March 3
AB After I wrote several columns offering practical advice to Ph.D.'s
who might want to consider a career in academic librarianship, I began
to hear from some of my fellow librarians who were less than thrilled
with my encouragement. Careers in academic libraries, these critics
said, should not be considered a haven for Ph.D. refugees who "failed"
on the faculty job market. Some librarians -- in comments made directly
to me and to one another on various blogs -- said the profession should
reward those for whom librarianship was a first-choice career, not
something resorted to in desperation. Let me state up front: I am an
English Ph.D. and an academic librarian. So I suppose it's no surprise
that the criticisms I've heard about Ph.D. applicants strike me as
fallacious, based as they are on an either-or reasoning: Either
librarianship was your first choice or you didn't really choose it at
all, you just fell into it against your will, and hence don't deserve
its rewards. If you are a Ph.D. applying for a position in an academic
library, you need to be prepared for the resistance you might encounter
from some of your would-be colleagues. I'd like to offer a few
suggestions on how to nip such negative perceptions in the bud.

one volume every five minutes, have a subscription price of several
millions of dollars, and a staff exceeding 500. While the growth of the

behavioural asymmetry and is thought to influence the subsequent
development of perceptual and motor preferences by increasing visual
orientation to the right side. Here I show that twice as many adults
turn their heads to the right as to the left when kissing, indicating
that this head-motor bias persists into adulthood. My finding may be
linked to other forms of sidedness (for example, favouring the right
foot, ear or eye) that do not become established until long after the
newborn head-turning preference has disappeared.

access to JSTOR, with approximately 200 having had access since early
1997. With its emphasis on journal backfiles, and several years of
usage data now available, JSTOR presents an interesting opportunity to
study the impact of electronic technologies on the usage of this
literature. It is generally accepted that usage of this older
literature in its original paper form was, at best, quite modest. In
this paper, to the extent that the author can find reliable data about
usage in the paper format, he will compare these data with the usage of
the material in electronic form. In addition, the author plans to track
same-institution usage at a sample set of JSTOR institutions that have
had access to the database since the beginning. In addition to tracing
the growth in that usage over time, the author will analyze usage
patterns (variations in usage by year, by discipline, by institutional
type, etc.) in order to draw out lessons of general relevance to the
scholarly community. This paper will provide one perspective on how
electronic access to material impacts its "value".

T1 Electronic ecology : a case study of electronic journals in context
YR 2001
SP 79
AB In the late twentieth century, the development and widespread
adoption of the World Wide Web accelerated the appearance of both new
all-electronic journals and electronic counterparts of existing print
journals. At the time this study was initiated in late 1997, electronic
journals were still largely experimental. Little was known about their
success or how they might be developed to attract both content and
readership. In early 1998, the ecology community offered an opportunity
that seemed in many ways an ideal natural experiment, allowing me to
compare a fully electronic journal with one that was published in both
print and electronic forms, both serving the same community. The
ecology community was at the very earliest stages of developing a new
communications system. Two new peer-reviewed journals were starting up
in quite similar subject areasæone electronic only, and the other
publishing print and electronic versions simultaneously, which acted in
many ways as a sort of control. I chose to focus on content
development—how the authors of the manuscripts and the editors who
select and solicit material were viewing electronic publishing—an
aspect of electronic publishing that had attracted little attention.

When collections information is present, it usually appears on either
dedicated collections pages or faculty services pages. Typically,
collections pages focus on largely static information describing

T1 Applying diffusion theory to electronic publishing: A conceptual
framework for examining issues and outcomes
YR 1997
AB Diffusion of innovations theory offers a powerful paradigm for
conceptualizing the development and acceptance of electronic publishing
ventures. Investigations of the diffusion of other innovations suggest
that acceptance or adoption is significantly influenced by innovation
characteristics and adopter perceptions. Electronic publishing can best
be understood as a cluster of related innovations which can be
incorporated in different combinations. Cluster members individually
and in combination influence adopter perceptions of the relative
advantage, complexity, compatibility, visibility, and trialability of a
particular implementation. Acceptance of electronic publishing is
further shaped by the requirement of a contingent adoption decision by
a community. For instance, readers cannot adopt an electronic
publication without author acceptance. This paper will define the
innovation cluster and provide a framework to characterize several
recent publishing ventures demonstrating how the framework facilitates
comparison and evaluation of individual implementations of electronic
publishing ventures.

JF Issues in Science & Technology Librarianship
YR 2004
IS 40
AB This study describes the methods of access and retrieval of recent
journal articles cited by geoscientists and chemists who work in
academia, government, and industry. Citations, originally published
during 2002, were selected from the references in current articles in
20 journal titles in the geosciences and 14 in chemistry. Each author
received a personalized letter and brief questionnaire that addressed
the methods of access and retrieval of one of those citations. Not
surprisingly, a majority of respondents in both disciplines reported
using the Internet for both access and retrieval, and many added
insightful, substantive remarks that added depth and detail to the data
analysis. The return rates of 75% in geoscience and 57% in chemistry
suggest a high level of concern among these scientists for their
journal literature. A comparison of the present results with similar
unpublished data from a 1998 study illustrates the rapid evolution and
acceptance of electronic journals; five years ago a majority of
scientists in both disciplines used traditional (non-electronic)
methods for access and retrieval of recent citations. Analysis of the
information-seeking behavior of chemists and geologists as represented
by citation patterns offers a unique view of the scientific endeavor.

of scholarly e-journal articles on the WWW, and identifies problems and
issues related to conducting and interpreting such searches. Backlink
searches are defined here as searches for Web pages that link to a
given URL. Backlink searches were conducted on a sample of 39 scholarly
electronic journals. Search results were processed to determine the
number of backlinking pages, total backlinks, and external backlinks
made to the e-journals and to their articles. The results were compared
to findings from a citation study performed on the same e-journals in
1996. A content analysis of a sample of the files backlinked to e-
journal articles was also undertaken. The authors identify a number of
reliability issues associated with the use of raw search engine data to
evaluate the impact of electronic journals and articles. No correlation
was found between backlink measures and ISI citation measures of e-
journal impact, suggesting that the two measures may be assessing
something quite different. Major differences were found between the
types of entities that cite, and those that backlink, e-journal
articles, with scholarly works comprising a very small percentage of
backlinking files. These findings call into question the legitimacy of
using backlink searches to evaluate the scholarly impact of e-journals
and e-journal articles (and by extension, e-journal authors).

AB Many commentators have conjectured about the nature and promise of
future scholarly electronic journals, and some have even predicted the
eventual demise of the journal in its present paper form. [1] However,
as Ann Okerson wrote, "One can fantasize endlessly about electronic
'journals,' but without active authorship and readership there is
nothing." [2] Even beyond this, e-journals must be used. "Use" implies
not only reading e-journals and contributing to them, but building on
the findings reported--it implies that the research reported in e-
journal articles have an impact on scholars and researchers in the
discipline which the e-journal represents. If e-journals have little or
no impact on research and researchers, they cannot play an important
role in scholarly communication. This article reports hard empirical
data on the impact of the first wave of e-journals on the scholarly
communities they serve. It assesses the extent to which scholars and
researchers are aware of, are influenced by, and build their own work
upon research published in e-journals. It does this by examining the
artifacts of scholarly communication--the journal article and the
references it makes.

AB Identification of the resources physicians use to acquire
information for clinical practice and medical research is an important
area of research for health sciences librarianship and medical
practice. During the past twenty years several studies have addressed
questions about physicians' preferences for information sources, but
generalization from the results of these studies has been hampered by
limited sampling, diverse methods, and varied reportorial formats.
Meta-analysis provides a method for reducing these limits. Using a
meta-analytic procedure, this study reviews twelve studies published
between 1978 and 1992, categorizes and ranks the physicians' preferred
information sources reported in each study, then aggregates and counts
the frequencies of the top six preferences, as well as the associated
first and second preferences, for all the study populations or their
strata. The results indicate that physicians prefer to obtain
information from journals and books, but also that they often consult
colleagues to get answers to clinical and research questions. The
implications of these findings for health sciences librarianship are
briefly discussed.

AB The bibliometric characteristics of electronic journals (e-journals)
covering the field of information science have been studied. Twenty-
eight e-journals were identified and ranked by number of articles on
the subject they published. A Bradford plot revealed that the core is
not well developed yet, but it will likely contain six journals. The
publication of information science articles in e-journals began about
1990. In 1995 (the starting date for this study), a modest 26 articles
appeared, but publication has now risen to approximately 250 articles
per year. The most prolific authors are identified. The vast majority
of them are located in the United States or United Kingdom. Only 26
articles have authors from more than one country, showing that
electronic technology has not yet strongly influenced international
collaboration. About 2/3 of the articles originate in academic
institutions. Common topics of e-journal articles in information
science include electronic information, electronic publishing, virtual
(digital) libraries, information search and retrieval, and use of the
Internet. Seven online databases cover these e-journals; Information
Science Abstracts is the only one to cover all 28 journals, and it has
the highest number of abstracts from them - over 1,100.

AB Complementary, socially grounded, user-centered methodologies are
being used to design new information systems to support biodiversity
informatics. Each of the methods--interviews, focus groups, field
observations, immersion, and lab testing--has its own strengths and
weaknesses. Methods vary in their ability to reveal the automatic
processes of experts (that need to be learned by novices), data
richness, and their ability to help interpret complex information needs
and processes. When applied in concert, the methods provide a much
clearer picture of the use of information while performing a real life
information-mediated task. This picture will be used to help inform the
design of a new information system, Biological Information Browsing
Environment (BIBE). The groups being studied are high school students,
teachers, and volunteer adult groups performing biodiversity surveys.
In this task the people must identify and record information about many
species of flora and fauna. Most of the information tools they use for
training and during the survey are designed to facilitate the difficult
species identification task.

OP 2
AB Poster paper presented at the ALA Annual COnference, STS Research
Forum. Searching for cited references has had important implication for
bibliographic research. It has offered a way to retrieve related
research without reliance on keyword selection, but it has also been an
important indicator of research value. Highly cited research enhances
the research and its parent organization as well as the journal or
publisher where it first appeared. . This poster explores the
retrievals and mechanisms involved in searching not only the ISI
Science Citation Index, but indexes such as CINAHL, full text
subscription databases such as Science Direct, as well as search
engines such as the recently released Google Scholar. The purpose of
the poster is to identify and promote new ways to find cited
references. It addresses:High costs of the traditional ISI Citation
Indexes. Explores if other methods can pick up additional cited
references. Are open source scholarly journals indexed? Are the cited
references in open sources publications identified in the available
cited reference databases ? In Search engines? Are the references being
monitored? Opportunities for Librarians to assist faculty in tracking
their cited references in a dynamic publication environment Since many
of the new ways of cited reference searching many not match the
traditional ISI methods, a sample web page designed to lead and
instruct patrons on how to extend their search for cited references in
non traditional ways is given. A list of credits with URLs for other
Libraries who are providing tutorials and suggestions on cited
reference searching will be included.

JF Information Processing and Management
YR 2000
VO 36
IS 5
SP 761
OP 778
AB Engineers get most of their information from colleagues and internal
reports. This study investigates how engineers’ information-seeking
practices intertwine looking for informing documents with looking for
informed people. Based on case studies in two product-development
organisations we find that engineers search for documents to find
people, search for people to get documents, and interact socially to
get information without engaging in explicit searches. This intricate
interplay between document and people sources can be explained by the
nature of the design task. Many possible solutions are normally
available to the designer and in choosing one over the others the
designer must take into account a complex set of issues involving both
the product as such and its context. However, design documentation
seems to be biased toward technical aspects of the chosen solution,
while information about the context of the design process is typically
not available. Hence, people become a critical source of information
because they can explain and argue about why specific decisions were
made and what purpose is served by individual parts of the design.
While document retrieval is a well-established field, this study
concludes by briefly outlining how computer systems could support
searches for people. Given the immense practical importance of searches
for people there seems to be a large need for such systems and,
consequently, for addressing the open research questions involved in
designing them.

T1 How Different Are They? A Comparison By Academic Area Of Library
Use, Priorities, and Information Needs at the University of Washington
JF Issues in Science & Technology Librarianship
YR 2002
IS 33
AB The University of Washington Libraries has conducted large-scale
library surveys on a triennial cycle since 1992. These surveys are sent
to all faculty members and a random sample of graduate and
undergraduate students. Surveys measure user satisfaction with library
services and resources and have also included questions on the reasons
faculty and students use (or don't use) libraries, use and application
of electronic information, importance of information resources, and
their priorities for library services and resources. Survey results
comprise a rich lode of information about library use and needs during
a period of rapid change in the information environment. The University
of Washington Libraries is unique not only in the regularity of its
systematic surveying of the user community but also in the large number
of surveys that are returned, especially by faculty (1,100 to 1,500 for
each survey). The size and representative nature of the respondent pool
has enabled us to generalize for the population as a whole and do
statistical analysis by academic subject area. One of the more striking
findings of this analysis has been the substantial differences shown in
library/information needs and use by those in different subject fields.
This paper will focus on the differences (and also some similarities)
between scientists/engineers and other academic areas in their library
use and information needs at a large American research university.

OP 366
AB Brings together recent research on undergraduate information
behavior, including preliminary findings of a qualitative study testing
Kuhlthau's Information Search Process (ISP) model. The main methods
include a literature review of undergraduate attitudes and information
behavior and a qualitative study of 35 undergraduates. The data were
coded into the original ISP model to test how it holds up with a new
generation of students. Finds that the Millennial Generation
increasingly turns to the web rather than the library as its primary
information resource and also that the ISP model holds up for many of
the students in the study. The easy access to information, however,
suggests some changes to the model. It enables some students to skip
steps in the process, especially focus formulation, because many
students stop after their preliminary searches, thinking that they have
completed the research process. The study is a qualitative study with a
small sample, so findings cannot be generalized. The findings are also
preliminary. The paper brings together a wide range of literature and
can provide instruction librarians with a more coherent and updated
view of the Millennial Generation in order to improve instruction for
this group of students.

Internet distribution and do it in a way that increases both access and
functionality. And we have done that. In the case of Elsevier's
ScienceDirect, there are now over 5.6 million articles, at least 10
million researchers regularly use the service and full text downloads
are doubling annually, with an expectation of over 275 million
downloads in 2004 (and another 100 million at sites that hold the files
locally). It has cost more than ?200 million to create and maintain the
service, including ?24 million to digitize the backfiles of all titles
back to volume 1, number 1 (which for The Lancet was in 1823). But this
investment was clearly what we needed to do to deliver that which the

communication system will be presented that incorporates developments
that have changed the very nature of research and publishing and have

AB This study examined three disciplines and the literature to
determine if there were any differences in conceptual referencing
patterns. Physics, engineering, and sociology were examined using the
actual literature of the disciplines for the year 1984. Samples were
drawn from major abstracting and indexing services. A Dunn planned
comparison approach was used to test for differences. The results of
the testing indicated that physics, engineering, and sociology all
differ in terms of conceptual references. Two sub-tests were performed
on the data. Total number of references were examined, indicating no
difference between physics and sociology, but distinct differences
between physics and engineering and between sociology and engineering.
The second sub-test examined the number of references to literature
within a 5-year span of publication. This second test indicated
differences between physics and sociology and between physics and
engineering, but no difference between sociology and engineering.
Suggestions for further study are offered.

walked into the departmental photocopying room and saw a bunch of old
journals with articles tabbed for photocopying. He told the secretary
assigned to make the copies that the journals are available
electronically through the JSTOR journal storage website. She was
delighted not to have to spend time standing in front of the copy
machine. For his part, Dennis was puzzled that one of his colleagues
evidently did not realize how easily one can get the material on the
Web. “You would hope mathematicians would have some idea of where their
literature is,” he said. “But that’s simply not true.”

AB "Readers in popular libraries need a great deal of assistance.
...This is particularly needed by persons unused to handling books or
conducting investigations." and "Reference work includes the direct,
personal aid within a library to persons in search of information for
whatever purpose, and also various library activities especially aimed
at making information as easily available as possible." These two
quotes, from two of the seminal forces in reference librarianship,
encapsulate much of what is promising and troubling about the world of
reference. The second was written at the end of the Second World War;
the first was from over a century and a quarter ago. And yet, each in
its own idiomatic way says things about reference work that we could
easily say today: people do not know how to find stuff; therefore we
help them in lots of ways. To be sure, many of those ways have changed,
as have the people, the stuff, and us—but perhaps as many aspects of
this world remain unchanged. And while there is mention in older
literature of the fast pace of contemporary life to explain, for
example, the motivation for telephone reference (such as this from
Florence M. Gifford in 1943: "There are those to whom in these days of
speed and lack of leisure, telephone service seems a legitimate demand
from their taxpayers."), it is undeniable that the current rate of
change in all important facets of reference work is unprecedented and
accelerating.

ownership between libraries and publishers?
JF First Monday
YR 2005
VO 10
IS 3
AB The emergence of e–journals brought a great change in scholarly
communication and in the behavior of scholars. However, the importance
of scholars’ behavior in the pricing of scientific journal has been
largely ignored in the recent debate between libraries and publishers
over site license practices and pricing schemes. Stanford’s survey
results indicate that sharply increasing costs are the main reason for
individual subscription cancellation, driving users to rely on library
or other institutional subscriptions. Libraries continue to be a vital
information provider in the electronic era and their bargaining power
in the market and the importance of roles in scholarly communication
will be increased by branding and a strong relationship with users.
Publishers’ strategy for thriving in the electronic era is not to lose
personal subscribers. Cooperation among the three sectors — scholars,
libraries, and publishers — promises optimal results for each sector
more than ever.

AB New academic programs in environmental science prompted a citation
analysis of local faculty by the Texas Tech University Library (TTU).
The purpose of this study is to characterize the citation patterns of
the interdisciplinary field of environmental and human health as
compared with other disciplines and to apply the results to collection
development. Twenty-four articles were selected from 1996 and 1997 with
over 1600 citations to more than 950 listed references. The average age
of citations was 10.5 years for journals and 9.4 years for books. On
average, journals were cited 67% of the time while books were cited 17%
of the time. Proceedings, theses, and technical reports were also cited
but that data was not applied to collection development. The impact on
collection development has been to identify a small number of specific
books which were frequently cited but were not in the collection and to
identify important subject terms with which to guide the selection of
related books. Finally, 12 new subscriptions to frequently cited
journals will be reviewed with faculty to determine their suitability
as additions to the collection.

Comparisons are made with similar analyses previously published for the
period 1990–1994. Analyses measured degree of interdisciplinarity
evident in references cited and identified subject areas cited,
determined whether this literature was concerned with users' cognitive
processes and with system design and use, and identified research
methods used. Secondary analyses included journal type, author type,
article type, whether the literature was grounded in theory, and user
groups considered. This study extends results published previously, and
demonstrates longitudinal development of research in this subfield of

AB Based on the interviews of 18 people in Finland in 2001-2,
conceptions of the Internet as an information source were explored. In
general, the conceptions reflect the acceptability, accessibility and
usability of Internet sources. Most conception appeared to be quite
impressionistic, reflecting the basic difficulty of describing the
constantly changing nature of the Internet. Two major kinds of Internet
conceptions were identified. First, in metaphorical conceptions, the
Internet was primarily conceived in terms of space or place, for
example, a library or a bazaar. Second, conception based on actual use
experiences of the Internet significantly drew on quality judgments of
the networked services. Since a growing number of information sources
of various types are competing for people's attention, general level
conceptions of sources and channels will gain importance as a criterion
by which sources will be accepted or rejected. This seems to be a
particular characteristic of networked information environments.

AB This paper discusses everyday life information seeking via the World
Wide Web, and its many contexts at various levels of abstraction.
First, empirical Internet-searching studies are reviewed, the
conclusion of which is the fact that they yield an exceedingly limited
and fragmentary picture of the context of the activity. Therefore, the
aim of the paper is theoretical: to propose - based on holistic
reflection and earlier literature - a truly contextual model of Web
searching from an individual's perspective. The various layers - life-
worlds, domains, situations, action, information action, information
seeking, information sources, Internet and Web - of the framework are
presented one by one, and the dynamics of the whole creation is
eventually outlined. At the end, the usefulness and application of the
model are deliberated upon. It is claimed that the framework amounts to
an exhaustive description of the context of Web information seeking,
and that the theoretical construct can be taken advantage of in
researching information seeking from practically any source.

AB To avoid information overload, undergraduates seeking information
for course assignments in the humanities and social sciences might skip
the necessary stages of topic definition and elaboration, as Kuhlthau
describes in her six-stage Information Search Process (ISP). This
tendency can be reinforced by information professionals who seek to
facilitate the users' searching of electronic databases with the
suggestion that they limit their search so that the end result will be
"manageable." This strategy can lead to a "false focus": a focus that
is induced so that it comes too soon and is ultimately incompatible
with the information need and interests of the user. We will examine
the characteristics of false focus, and present a strategy that allows
the reference librarian to identify the undergraduate's information
need and automatically attach the most appropriate electronic database
search strategy for the satisfaction of that need. Thus, the
construction of a search strategy becomes wholly dependent on the
user's information need, not the constraints posed by the accessing
technology and the idea that the eventual output should be limited to
thirty items or less.

T1 Scholarly journal and digital database pricing: threat or
opportunity?
YR 2000
FD March 23, 2000
AB For over 3.5 centuries, scientific scholarly journals have
demonstrated remarkable stability. Over the past few decades a large
number of studies have shown their continued use, usefulness and value.
However, two phenomena have evolved over the past three decades that
have the potential of either destroying the system or substantially
enhancing its considerable usefulness and value. These two phenomena
are the maturation of communication technologies and the economics of
the journal system; particularly pricing of traditional journal
subscriptions and access to digital full-text databases. Certainly, the
new technologies should, if deployed with care, enhance the journal
system; but the greatest threat to the system appears to be pricing
policies that have substantially reduced personal subscriptions,
increased reliance on library access, raised library prices far higher
than inflation or increased journal sizes would warrant, and caused
libraries and scientists to rely more heavily on obtaining separate
copies of articles through interlibrary loan, document delivery,
preprints, reprints and photocopies or electronic copies from authors
and colleagues. This paper provides some insights gained from analysis
of over 13,500 responses from readership surveys of scientists; cost
analysis of publishing, library services and scientists' communication
patterns; tracking of a sample of scholarly journals from 1960 to 1995;
and review of over 600 publications dealing with scientific scholarly
journals. This paper will attempt to dispel some myths concerning
communication costs, system participants' incentives, and reasons for
increased prices. It will also present perspectives on pricing that
might help in an electronic age and some suggestions concerning
subscription pricing, site licensing, and online access to separate
copies of articles.

T1 Economic Cost Models of Scientific Scholarly Journals
YR 1998
AB This paper summarizes costs of publishing scientific scholarly
journals. Activities are described for five publishing components:
article processing (e.g., manuscript processing, editing, composition,
etc.), non-article processing (i.e., similar activities related to
covers, tables-of-content, letters, book reviews, etc.), reproduction
(e.g., printing, collating, binding, etc.), distribution (e.g.,
wrapping, labeling, sorting, mailing, subscription maintenance, etc.),
and support (e.g., marketing, administration, finance, etc.). A model
is derived for each of these components consisting of cost parameters
(e.g., number of issues, pages, subscriptions, etc.) and cost elements
(e.g., cost per page of editing, set-up cost per issue, postage cost
per issue copy mailed, etc.). Total costs of a "typical" journal are
presented where cost parameters are estimated from a sample of
scientific scholarly journals and cost elements derived from estimates
reported in the literature. Costs of electronic publications are also
derived.

T1 Patterns of Journal Use by Faculty at Three Diverse Universities
JF D-Lib Magazine
YR 2003
VO 9
IS 10
AB University libraries are rapidly moving toward electronic journal
collections. Readership surveys at three universities with different
levels of electronic journal implementation demonstrate how transition
to electronic journal collections affects use patterns of faculty and
staff. The University of Tennessee was in a transitional phase when the
survey was done (2000), the University of Pittsburgh had acquired a
large electronic journal collection, but with some duplication with
print journals (2003), and Drexel University had migrated to nearly all
electronic journals (2002). Although faculty use of personal print
subscriptions remains significant, electronic personal subscriptions
are used only infrequently by faculty even though this is an option
available to them. On the other hand, electronic journal use is very
high when available in library collections. Twenty-five year trends of
reading by university scientists show substantial increases in average
amount of reading with nearly all of this increase coming from library
collections. The likely increase in reading from library collections is
due in part to a decline in personal subscriptions and increased online
bibliographic searching coupled with increased availability of the
library collections and, recently, enlarged electronic journal
collections. Scientists appear to be more advanced in their use of
electronic journals than other faculty, but changes are taking place
within all faculty disciplines.

T1 The Internet and Unrefereed Scholarly Publishing
YR 2004
VO 38; 38
SP 591
OP 631
AB Introduction -- In the early 1990s, much of the enthusiasm for the
use of electronic media to enhance scholarly communication focused on
electronic journals, especially electronic-only (pure) e-journals1 (see
for example, Peek and Newby's (1996) anthology). Much of the systematic
research about the use of electronic media to enhance scholarly
communication also focused on electronic journals. However, by the late
1990s, numerous scientific publishers transformed their paper journals
(p-journals) into paper and electronic journals (p-e journals) and sold
them via subscription models that did not provide the significant costs
savings, speed of access and breadth of audience that pure e-journal
advocates had expected (Okerson, 1996). In 2001, some senior life
scientists led a campaign to have publishers make online access to
their journals freely available after six months (Russo, 2001). The
campaign leaders, using the name "Public Library of Science" asked
scientists to boycott journals that did not comply with their demands
for open access to online articles after six months. While the proposal
was discussed in scientific magazines and conferences, it did not seem
to influence any journal publishers to comply (Young, 2002). Most
productive scientists, who work for major universities and research
institutes that have adequate to excellent scientific journal
collections would have little incentive to boycott top journals. Some
of the major improvements in the speed and openness of scholarly
communication via the Internet are most likely to come from outside of
the peer-reviewed journal system. In this chapter, the term “unrefereed
manuscript” refers to a manuscript that has not yet been accepted for
publication through peer review2. The “unrefereed manuscript” may not
have yet been submitted to a peer reviewed venue, may be under review
at a peer reviewed venue, or may have been rejected from one peer
reviewed venue and has not yet been accepted for another peer-reviewed
venue. Some enthusiasts for using electronic media such as Internet
forums to enhance scholarly communication, emphasized the value of
scholars' exchanging research manuscripts prior to their being accepted
for publication in peer reviewed venues, such as journals or
conferences (Harnad, 1999; Halpern, 2000).

electronic media in supporting scientific communication
JF Journal of the American Society for Information Science
YR 2000
VO 51
IS 14
SP 1306
OP 1320
AB The shift towards the use of electronic media in scholarly
communication appears to be an inescapable imperative. However, these
shifts are uneven, both with respect to field and with respect to the
form of communication. Different scientific fields have developed and
use distinctly different communicative forums, both in the paper and
electronic arenas, and these forums play different communicative roles
within the field. One common claim is that we are in the early stages
of an electronic revolution, that it is only a matter of time before
other fields catch up with the early adopters, and that all fields
converge on a stable set of electronic forums. A social shaping of
technology (SST) perspective helps us to identify important social
forces - centered around disciplinary constructions of trust and of
legitimate communication - that pull against convergence. This analysis
concludes that communicative plurality and communicative heterogeneity
are durable features of the scholarly landscape, and that we are likely
to see field differences in the use of and meaning ascribed to
communications forums persist, even as overall use of electronic
communications technologies both in science and in society as a whole
increases.

OP 148
AB In May 1999, National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Harold
Varmus proposed an electronic repository for biomedical research
literature server called E-biomed. E-biomed reflected the visions of
scholarly electronic publishing advocates: It would be fully
searchable, be free to readers, and contain full-text versions of both
preprint and postpublication biomedical research articles. However,
within 4 months, the E-biomed proposal was radically transformed: The
preprint section was eliminated, delays were instituted between article
publication and posting to the archive, and the name was changed to
PubMed Central. This case study examines the remarkable transformation
of the E-biomed proposal to PubMed Central by analyzing comments about
the proposal that were posted to an online E-biomed forum created by
the NIH, and discussions that took place in other face-to-face forums
where E-biomed deliberations took place. We find that the
transformation of the E-biomed proposal into PubMed Central was the
result of highly visible and highly influential position statements
made by scientific societies against the proposal. The literature about
scholarly electronic publishing usually emphasizes a binary conflict
between (trade) publishers and scholars/scientists. We conclude that:
(1) scientific societies and the individual scientists they represent
do not always have identical interests in regard to scientific e-
publishing; (2) stakeholder politics and personal interests reign
supreme in e-publishing debates, even in a supposedly status-free
online forum; and (3) multiple communication forums must be considered
in examinations of e-publishing deliberations.

AB The theme of this issue is Information Seeking In Context. Context,
as an essential component for understanding information seeking
behavior, is receiving increased attention by researchers in
information seeking and use. Heightened interest in context may be a
reaction to the limitation of the objectivist view of meeting
information needs by query matching within a system perspective.
Research into context highlights a user-centered approach to the study
of information seeking and use that emphasizes real users with actual
information needs prompted by situations arising in daily living.
Information Seeking in Context (ISIC) has been the theme of a series of
international research conferences, one held in Finland at the
University of Tampere in August of 1996 and another in the England at
the University of Sheeld in August of 1998, with a third planned for
August 2000 at the University of Gothenberg in Sweden.

AB The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), along with astronomy's

developed a distributed on-line digital library which has become the
dominant means by which astronomers search, access and read their
technical literature. Digital libraries permit the easy accumulation of
a new type of bibliometric measure, the number of electronic accesses
(``reads'') of individual articles. By combining data from the text,
citation, and reference databases with data from the ADS readership
logs we have been able to create Second Order Bibliometric Operators, a
customizable class of collaborative filters which permits substantially
improved accuracy in literature queries. Using the ADS usage logs along
with membership statistics from the International Astronomical Union
and data on the population and gross domestic product (GDP) we develop
an accurate model for world-wide basic research where the number of
scientists in a country is proportional to the GDP of that country, and
the amount of basic research done by a country is proportional to the
number of scientists in that country times that country's per capita
GDP. We introduce the concept of utility time to measure the impact of
the ADS/URANIA and the electronic astronomical library on astronomical
research. We find that in 2002 it amounted to the equivalent of 736 FTE
researchers, or $250 Million, or the astronomical research done in
France.

AB The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), along with astronomy's

developed a distributed on-line digital library which has become the
dominant means by which astronomers search, access and read their
technical literature. Digital libraries such as the NASA Astrophysics
Data System \citep{2004JASIS........2K} permit the easy accumulation of
a new type of bibliometric measure, the number of electronic accesses
(``reads'') of individual articles. We explore various aspects of this
new measure. We examine the obsolescence function as measured by actual
reads, and show that it can be well fit by the sum of four exponentials
with very different time constants. We compare the obsolescence
function as measured by readership with the obsolescence function as
measured by citations. We find that the citation function is
proportional to the sum of two of the components of the readership
function. This proves that the normative theory of citation is true in
the mean. We further examine in detail the similarities and differences
between the citation rate, the readership rate and the total citations
for individual articles, and discuss some of the causes. Using the
number of reads as a bibliometric measure for individuals, we introduce
the read-cite diagram to provide a two-dimensional view of an
individual's scientific productivity. We develop a simple model to
account for an individual's reads and cites and use it to show that the
position of a person in the read-cite diagram is a function of age,
innate productivity, and work history. We show the age biases of both
reads and cites, and develop two new bibliometric measures which have
substantially less age bias than citations: SumProd, a weighted sum of
total citations and the readership rate, intended to show the total
productivity of an individual; and Read10, the readership rate for
papers published in the last ten years, intended to show an
individual's current productivity. We also discuss the effect of
normalization (dividing by the number of authors on a paper) on these
statistics. We apply SumProd and Read10 using new, non-parametric
techniques to rank and compare different astronomical research

OP 476
AB This article discusses the information sources used by design,
process, and manufacturing engineers in an international microchip
manufacturing company, and the characteristics that influence their
information source selection and use. Findings differ from previous
research in three ways. First, there was a significant difference in
these engineers' information behavior. Second, the higher the
engineers' level of education, the less likely they were to depend on
their personal memories as sources of information, and the more likely
they were to rely on libraries. Third, the higher the level of
engineers' education, the less likely they were to consider 'personal
mastery' (information tool mastery) as a source influencer. This
article explores disciplinary differences in academic Web-site
interlinking using the university departments of chemistry, psychology,
and history. Research has suggested that Web-link counts are related to
research productivity and geographic distance between source and
target, but no previous Webometric studies have comparatively analyzed
academic departments from different disciplines. This study shows large
differences in Web use by discipline for both Web-site size and the
extent of interlinking, with the history department making little use
of the Web and the chemistry department the most. There are significant
correlations between in-links and research impact for the psychology
and chemistry departments, with a stronger association for the
psychology department. There was little evidence, however, of a
geographic trend in interlinking.

T1 Price Increases Are Not the Problem
JF Charleston Advisor
YR 2004
VO 5
IS 3
AB It is troubling that so much of the discussion about scholarly
communication focuses on journal price increases. A listening bystander
might suppose that if prices stopped rising, libraries would have no
further worries and could afford the collections users need. But we
know that the issue is not merely what we used to call “inflation” and
now more accurately label “price increases.” It’s not just about the
price increases––it’s about the price. On the other hand, advocates of
Open Access publishing and archiving in their many combinations and
permutations sometimes seem to be saying that libraries will never need
to pay anybody for anything anymore. Which seems unlikely. There needs
to be a place in the middle where common sense might reign. Not
everything we need can be free––but some of it can. And when we buy
journals which cost a lot, we should be able to expect that “a lot”
translates into a figure that is not the same thing as “perfectly
outrageous.” To move in the general direction of such a state,
libraries must help new publishing initiatives to establish themselves.
But our current procedures often result in decisions that push us in
the opposite direction, towards funding expansion of the title lists of
expensive publishers while denying smaller lower-priced initiatives the
ability to grow. Because it is difficult to deal at once with all the
aspects of a complicated problem, we tend to simplify and make
decisions based on the pieces of a problem we can most easily see––the
ones that are easiest to grab onto. In the case of journal budgets,
this is the percentage annual increase. If we base our judgments on
this figure alone, our decisions may be skewed in disastrous
directions.

misconceptions of collection. Others seem to have become more relevant

to question the necessity of finite collections, and contest the
boundaries of a collection. A critical analysis of these issues results
in a proposal for an expanded concept of collection that considers the

approach Web searches. ''Kids think there is one answer, and they look
for the Web site with that answer,'' said Professor Soloway, who does
both computer science and education research. ''We try to explain that
they have to get information from multiple Web sites. We tell them to
ask open, deep, interesting questions. For example, 'How many moons
does Jupiter have?' is not an interesting question. But 'What makes a
volcano stop erupting?' is.'' One tool developed at Michigan is Artemis
(named for the goddess of the hunt), which is being used in a half-
dozen school districts around the country. Artemis, which is designed
for science-related searches, has a built-in dictionary and thesaurus
because researchers noticed that students often misspelled search terms
and did not know synonyms for the terms they were searching for. For
example, many students know what photosynthesis is, but in the age of
computer spelling checkers, they do not know how to write it. Artemis
also lets students look at their past searches and lets them recommend
sites to other students.

surged again in 1997 to 2459 (ARL, 1997). Although the exact numbers of

JF Journal of Engineering Education
JO J Eng Educ
YR 2004
VO 93
IS 1
SP 79
OP 85
AB The ability to communicate a technical concept clearly, concisely,
and completely is an essential engineering skill. Typically,
universities teach English composition core courses in separate
locations and with no concern about the material presented in
engineering. The same can be said for the freshman introductory
engineering courses and their intentional teaching of writing. This
physical disconnect delays the development of essential skills because
students rarely translate acquired skills from one class to the other.
To minimize this disconnect the University of Denver's Engineering
Department developed a strong link between the first-year composition
courses and the introductory engineering course sequence. However,
these activities led to an unanticipated outcome of increased student
retention.

AB Software engineering has come a long way since the 1960s and the
first attempts to make the field into an engineering discipline. The
first 50 years may be characterized as the learning about the limits of
the field, which are intimately bound up with the limits of complexity
with which humans can cope. Although much progress has been made in
building the engineering and mathematical foundations of software
engineering and in improving the ability to build complex software, the
problems are getting more difficult to solve. The problems are also
changing in their fundamental nature. The earlier emphasis on
efficiency has shifted to an emphasis on correctness and utility.
Economic considerations have increased the emphasis on reuse and
reusable components. These trends will continue in the next 50 years.
To successfully build and operate ever more complex systems, it is
necessary to find ways to augment human ability, both in terms of
system designers and system users, with ideas from cognitive psychology
and the social sciences.

K1 Named Corp: Kresge Library (Rochester, Mich.) -- Serial publications
AB Full-text periodical databases have changed how students access
research materials. Many librarians fear that students favor the
convenience of full-text databases over more valuable information found
in print periodical literature. To what extent is this true? A study
was undertaken at Oakland University to determine how well students
mastered the retrieval process for print and full-text articles, and to
gather their opinions on the value of both formats. A pre-/post-test
instrument was administered to students before and after instruction to
measure their knowledge of the library and its databases. A final test,
including questions designed to measure student attitudes about the
article retrieval process, was administered upon completion of a term
paper. Results indicate that many students valued the convenience of
full-text articles over the article's relevance, but they also found
the overall research process to be difficult. The research students
conducted also impacted on their test results. Other findings are
discussed.

T1 Information sources in engineering
YR 2005
SP 683
AB This review is from http://stlq.info/archives/002055.html#002055, by
Randy Reichardt. The third edition of this title, edited by KW Mildren
and PJ Hicks, appeared in 1996, and was divided into three sections,
totalling 36 chapters: primary information sources (reports, standards,
patents and patent information, journals, conferences and theses, and
product information), secondary information sources (abstracts,
indexes, bibliographies and reviews, electronic sources, and standard
reference sources), and 27 chapters on specialized subject fields such
as stress analysis, robotics and automated manufacturing, and
thermodynamics and thermal systems. The fourth edition of Information
Sources in Engineering expands somewhat on the primary and secondary
information sources, while condensing the specialized subject fields of
engineering to the more traditional disciplines such as chemical,
civil, environmental, materials, mechanical, and so on. The book opens
with a chapter on engineers and their information needs. Martin Ward
provides a useful introduction to engineers, covering their role in
society, themes and aspects common to engineerings, and comparisons
with scientists. He addresses theory and practice, and gives extensive
coverage to the engineering knowledge base, examining its contents and
the engineers' use of knowledge resources. I was surprised to find no
references to the Tenopir and King book, Communication Patterns of
Engineers2, published in December 2003, or to Thomas Pinelli's article,
"Distinguishing Engineers from Scientists - The Case for an Engineering
Knowledge Community"3, which appeared in the Vol. 21, No 3/4 2001 issue
of Science and Technology Libraries. Perhaps neither was available
before the chapter was completed. Regardless, no mention of either
article does not detract from Ward's excellent introduction. The twelve
chapters that follow discuss in detail different categories of primary
and secondary engineering information sources, including: journals and
e-journals, reports, theses and research in progress, conferences,
patents, standards, product information, electronic full-text sources,
abstracts and indexes, bibliographies and reviews, internet resources,
reference sources, and professional societies. Such an approach exposes
the reader to the wide variety of categories and formats covering
primary and secondary engineering literature. The final fourteen
chapters cover the main subject areas of engineering: aerospace and
defence, bioengineering/biomedical, chemical, civil,
electrical/electronic/computer, engineering design, environmental,
manufacturing, materials, mechanical, mining and mineral process,
nanotechnology, occupational safety and health, and petroleum and
offshore engineering. The most extensive subject coverage is provided
in the chapters on aerospace and defence (43 pages), civil (39 pages),
materials (45 pages), and mechanical (54 pages long.) These and most
other chapters include information on specific resources such as
handbooks and manuals, indexes and abstracts, standards, directories,
monographs, important journal and serial publications, statistical
information, etc.

AB In this paper, it is suggested that a number of theoretical and
practical perspectives on information literacy can be obtained through
the examination of tenets of cognitive psychology. One aspect of
cognitive psychology - information processing theory - is applied to
the development of a two-stage model of the information retrieval
process. This model of information retrieval has utility along two
dimensions: firstly, in the conceptualization of the information
retrieval process; and secondly, in the development of teaching
strategies informed by such a model. The efficacy of this model was
tested in a large two-phase experimental study at the University of
Canberra, Australia. Statistically significant results support the
effectiveness of the concept-based teaching of information retrieval
and the utility of the model as an explanation of the cognitive
underpinnings of information retrieval.

AB Five-hundred twenty-seven full bibliographic records containing URLs
were downloaded from the ISI SCISEARCH database as part of an
exploration of the extent of Web publication of electronic research-
related information (E-RRI) in the sciences and classified as to
resource type, subject area, and degree of intellectual property
protection. Four hundred eighty-five records represented nonduplicate
descriptions of data compilations (194), software (153), Websites (73),
electronic documents (49), and digitized images (17). The greatest
concentration of E-RRI was found in molecular biology (QP=123), general
natural history and biology (QH=84), and medicine (R=74). Roughly two-
thirds of the 410 accessible Webpages (67%) permitted totally free and
unrestricted public access and use of the information; 11% requested
citation of a related journal article as acknowledgment of use; the
remainder stated conditions for use or relied on a statement of
copyright as an indication of ownership. The World Wide Web appears to
have become a significant channel for scientists to distribute
databases, software, and other information related to their published
research.

AB In the beginning, there were no posters. Now, many scientific
meetings have thousands of them. At the 50th meeting of the American
Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) in Philadelphia, Oct. 4-7, scientists
signed up for 2,147 posters, compared to 287 slide presentations.
Douglas Marchuk, associate professor in the department of genetics at
Duke University, and this year's head of the ASHG program committee,
describes the poster evolution this way: "In l977 and l978 they were
all slide sessions. In l979 we went to posters, and it was a 50-50 mix,
but by l982, it was 28 percent slides and 82 percent posters. This year
it was 88 percent posters and 12 percent slide sessions."

quarters of U.S. college students now use the Internet more than the

educational experience, according to a report expected to be released
today. The study, conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life
Project, found that 86 percent of college students have gone online,
compared with 59 percent of the general population. "One of the things
that jumped out was the degree to which college students have
integrated the Internet into their everyday life. They are used to
high-speed, instant access. They treat it like they would any utility -
- water, telephones, television," said Steve Jones, the study's author
and head of the Communications Department at the University of Illinois
at Chicago. The study is based on more than 2,000 surveys from
undergraduate students at 27 U.S. colleges and universities as well as
observational research done at 10 Chicago-area schools.

T1 Relationships between hard/soft, pure/applied, and life/nonlife
disciplines and subject book use in a university library
JF Information Processing & Management
YR 1978
VO 14
IS 1
SP 17
OP 28
AB In a university library, variability in circulation of books by
subject area is partly but directly dependent on the academic program—
e.g. if the anthropology department enrolls more students than the
physics department, then more anthropology books should circulate.
However, if the number of students enrolled in each subject is the
same, the number of books circulated in one subject may still be larger
than in the other. Therefore, other sources accounting for variability
must be sought. One possible source is in the nature of the subjects
themselves. For example, subjects (as represented by academic
disciplines or departments) are often called hard or soft, pure or
applied, life or nonlife. The purpose of this paper was to determine
the relationship between these characteristics and the number of books
charged out of an academic library by students. Three major hypotheses
were formulated: (1) the softer a subject, the more books charged on
that subject; the harder the subject, the fewer the books charged; (2)
the purer the subject, the more books charged; the more applied the
subject, the fewer the books charged; (3) The more a subject can be
characterized as life oriented, the greater the difference in number of
books charged between that subject and those characterized as nonlife
oriented. A scale value for each characteristic in each of 60 academic
subjects was determined by a survey of faculty of the University of
Southwestern Louisiana. Correlation and multiple regression were
employed to assess the proportion of circulation variance accounted for
by each of the three characteristics. Other variables—masters, upper
and lower level enrollments, credit hours being taught, number of books
already in the library, and level of degree offered—were tested as
controls. Hypothesis (1) was weakly supported under the condition that
shelflist and masters enrollments were held constant (3% of variance).
Support was somewhat firmer (10% variance) when the dependent variable
was defined as proportion of shelflist circulated. Hard/soft was also
significant (15% of variance) when pure/applied was held constant, but
shelflist and enrollments were not. Hypothesis (2) was modestly
supported under the condition that other variables were not held
constant. Otherwise pure/applied was not significant. Together,
pure/applied and hard/soft, in that order, and when no other variables
were controlled accounted for 26% of the variance. Hypothesis (3) was
not supported under any of the conditions tested. Results have
implications in sociological understanding of the relationship between
disciplines and library use, in formulating a rationale for library
collection building, and in administrative, budget allocations to
subjects.

enough information to evaluate how these digital products, particularly
journals, are being used. Furthermore, meaningful data are often
difficult to obtain as some publishers and vendors supply little or no
data or only information they feel supports the purchase of their
products. As it becomes increasingly difficult to afford all digital
content, librarians must be able to measure digital use of e-journals
and books in order to make the best purchasing decisions for their
institutions. Librarians must develop their own solutions as well as
solutions in collaboration with publishers so that better evaluation of
digital content use can occur.

AB THE AVAILABILITY IN ELECTRONIC FORMAT OF scholarly and scientific

library users has profoundly altered the challenges faced by collection
managers. Although the traditional goals of achieving quality,
relevance, and balance at a fair price still animate most collection-
development efforts,judgments about these attributes of resources have
become more ambiguous. The traditional standards have also beenjoined
by new and highly important criteria which include the definition of
the allowable user group and the purposes for which use will be
permitted, multi-faceted concerns about the functionality of resources,
and concerns about the availability of permanent archives. Drawing
heavily on the ideas of the multi-library consortia, which have grown
up partly in response to the advent of electronic resources, librarians
have devised new criteria and means of assessing resources against them
so that cost-effective acquisitions can be made in the new marketplace.

T1 The Library as a place: tradition and evolution
JF Library Issues
YR 2002
VO 22
IS 3
AB Is the library, as a physical entity on academic campuses, passé? Is
it becoming redundant in today’s electronic environment? It might be
tempting to wish that this were so, from a budgetary perspective. It is
indeed expensive to maintain physical libraries, which constitute
anywhere from 3 to 6 percent of an institution’s budget. A recent
article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, entitled “The Deserted
Library,” implies that electronic services are making actual libraries
redundant, and that libraries, desperate for traffic, are resorting to
gimmicks such as coffee bars to boost attendance, “as students work
online, [and] reading rooms empty out.” This article sensationalizes
and generalizes anecdotal information from a handful of libraries, so
it could hardly be considered a definitive study of the issue, and many
librarians have been quick to point out that their figures do not bear
out the article’s contentions. Considering how intently librarians have
attempted to drive services out of their libraries in order to make
them more readily accessible online, in people’s homes and offices, it
would be remarkable if foot traffic were not down in the most
electronically accessible libraries. Nevertheless, further anecdotal
evidence suggests that many libraries are experiencing as much in-
person use as ever, despite electronic reserves, submission of
reference questions online, and external availability of the full text
of thousands of journal titles.

T1 Framework for Assessing the Impact of an Electronic Journal
Collection on Library Costs and Staffing Patterns
YR 2000
AB Much has been written about the economic impact of electronic
publishing on publishers. There has also been considerable discussion
of library costs associated with the various methods of purchasing
electronic publications. This paper addresses another important
organizational impact of the migration to electronic journals that has
heretofore received little attention in the literature: the changes in
the library's operational costs associated with shifts in staffing,
access to content (resources and materials), space and equipment. In
1998 the W.W. Hagerty Library of Drexel University made migration to an
electronic journal collection as quickly as possible a key component of
its strategic plan. If a journal is available electronically, only the
electronic version is purchased; the sole exceptions are (1) when the
electronic journal lacks an important feature of the print version
(e.g., advertisements in business or fashion journals) and (2) when the
journal is part of the browsing collection (e.g., Scientific American).
With the year 2000 renewals, Hagerty’s journal collection consists of
953 print subscriptions and 4,951 electronic journals. A dramatic
transformation in staff workload is the most immediate impact on
library operations, but space, equipment, and even supply needs are
affected. Some of these changes are obvious and predictable; others are
not. This paper describes the changes experienced so far in the Drexel
Library. The goal is to develop a framework for assessing these shifts
in personnel and costs that can be used for planning and budgeting. The
paper presents trends in library statistics and preliminary estimates
of some actual cost differences between the print and electronic model.

AB When Intel was founded in 1968, the goal was to make semiconductor
memory practical. Intel engineer Ted Hoff proposed a CPU chip that was
actually a new class of semiconductor drive. The 4004 microcomputer
set, the first commercial microprocessor, was introduced for general
sale at the end of 1971. The small, $200 chip delivered as much
computing power as the first electronic computer, ENIAC, 25 years
earlier. This single invention revolutionized the way computers are
designed and applied. The IBM decision to chose Intel for its first PC
in 1980 would change Intel and the industry. The power of today's
desktop PC has enabled increasingly complex applications. One of the
hottest new areas is hybrid applications using computing power to make
up for lack of bandwidth by storing the complex content at the PC,
while updated and interactive content is accessed via the Internet. In
the near future, one can expect the complete integration of audio,
video, and conferencing capabilities with the World Wide Web.

learned societies and other not-for-profit publishers. Their charitable

T1 Comparing Patterns of Print and Electronic Journal Use in an
Academic Health Science Library
JF Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship
YR 2000
IS 28 (Fall)
AB A study was undertaken in an academic biomedical library setting to
compare the usage of a matched set of biomedical literature available
to users both in print and on the web. The study results showed that
for journal volumes in the study subset (the 1998 volumes of 194
titles), users accessed the electronic versions more than ten times as
often as the print versions during the six-month study period. The
results further revealed a remarkably similar usage curve in the print
and electronic data, with just 20% of titles accounting for nearly 60%
of usage in both study sets. Conversely, the bottom 40% of ranked
titles in both the print and electronic study sets accounted for just
9% of total usage. Studies like this one demonstrate the overwhelming
preference of users for electronic access when it is available to them,
especially when they can link directly from databases to the full text
of the articles indexed. They indicate as well that the large spread in
usage levels between titles, which librarians have long observed in the
print domain, is being duplicated in the electronic one.

AB Editorial. The primary functions of a chemistry library are to
provide user access to chemistry texts, current and back (archival)
issues of journals, and space for studying such materials. A creeping
issue in academic institutions—galloping in some, like mine—is the
amount of space that is needed for these functions. The issue is even
more complex if chemistry holdings are combined with those of other
science disciplines.... I believe that some of the existing libraries
in any academic or national system must resolve to be a keeper of the
paper issues, sharing their archive with others on a fee basis. A
general abandonment of the paper archiving of hard-won scientific
knowledge seems premature at this time and could be courting disaster.
Thanks to the Internet, along with practicing scholars, editors, and

AB In the last few years there has been a significant rise in use of
the Internet, with the result that the engineering community has begun
to enjoy enhanced access to electronic information resources. However,
while major collections of science and technology journals from
mainstream publishers are now available electronically, comparatively
little attention has been given to grey literature such as technical
reports. Yet it is often the report – with its greater technical detail
and rapid dissemination – rather than the refereed journal article,
which is the formal information medium favoured by the engineering
community. In the United States, the present administration is making
strenuous attempts to promote the dissemination of federally funded
research, and report literature from agencies such as NASA and the
Department of Energy and the Department of Transportation is now
readily available on the Internet. In the UK, apart from the
substantial holdings of the British Library, major collections of
technical reports tend to be scattered across academia, government and
industry. These resources are invariably difficult to identify, locate
and access.

AB The human race will reach a population peak sometime in the future,
but the number is not known. It would be ideal if a certain population
maximum could be hit and then level off. Working backward from the
assumption that at some point a population limit will be reached, then
a scenario must be set for the downturn. Two things can make people
fewer: reduced birth rate and increased death. Circumstances, such as
joblessness, inflation, crowding, and refugees, will reduce the birth
rate among the impoverished, which is where the birth rate is
increasing. Disease and killing increase the death rate. If the forces
so far outlined are containable, a moderate population scaleback might
work, holding the numbers of the poor in check by a sustainable,
persistent system of misery and killing by a constant factor. This
scenario seems unlikely. Maintaining constant factors in social systems
generally requires negative feedback. Violence and starvation tend to
have positive-feedback pathways, for reasons that are well known.

T1 Internet pricing and the history of communications
JF Computer Networks
YR 2001
FD August
VO 36
IS 5-6
SP 493
OP 517
AB There are repeating patterns in the histories of communication
technologies, including ordinary mail, the telegraph, the telephone,
and the Internet. In particular, the typical story for each service is
that quality rises, prices decrease, and usage increases to produce
increased total revenues. At the same time, prices become simpler. The
historical analogies of this paper suggest that the Internet will
evolve in a similar way, towards simplicity. The schemes that aim to
provide differentiated service levels and sophisticated pricing schemes
are unlikely to be widely adopted. Price and quality differentiation
are valuable tools that can provide higher revenues and increase
utilization efficiency of a network, and thus in general increase
social welfare. Such measures, most noticeable in airline pricing, are
spreading to many services and products, especially high-tech ones.
However, it appears that as communication services become less
expensive and are used more frequently, those arguments lose out to
customers' desire for simplicity. In practice, user preferences express
themselves through willingness to pay more for simple pricing plans. In
addition, there is a strong ‘threshold' effect to usage-sensitive
billing. Even tiny charges based on utilization decrease usage
substantially. In a rapidly growing market, it is in the service
providers' interest to encourage usage, and that argues for simple,
preferably flat rate, pricing. Historical evidence suggests that when
service costs decrease, such arguments prevail over the need to operate
a network at high utilization levels and to extract the highest
possible revenues.

T1 The Rapid Evolution of Scholarly Communication
YR 2000
FD March 23, 2000
AB The thesis of this paper is that while traditional journals, even
those available electronically, are changing slowly, there is a rapid
evolution in scholarly communication. Usage is rapidly moving to
electronic formats. In some areas, it appears that electronic versions
of papers are being read about as often as the printed journal
versions. Although there are serious difficulties in comparing figures
from different media, the growth rates in usage of electronic scholarly
information are sufficiently high that if they continue for a few
years, there will be no doubt that print versions will be eclipsed.
This paper presents some statistics on usage of print and electronic
information. It also presents some preliminary evidence about the
changing patterns of usage. It appears that much of the online usage
comes from new readers (esoteric research papers assigned in
undergraduate classes, for example) and often from places that do not
have access to print journals. Also, the reactions to even slight
barriers to usage suggest that even high quality scholarly information
is seldom of crucial importance, and that readers are able to find near
substitutes when necessary.

T1 Competition and cooperation: Libraries and publishers in the
transition to electronic scholarly journals
YR 1999
FD January 19
AB The conversion of scholarly journals to digital format is proceeding
rapidly, especially for those from large commercial and learned society
publishers. This conversion offers the best hope for survival for such
publishers. The infamous "journal crisis" is more of a library cost
crisis than a publisher pricing problem, with internal library costs
much higher than the amount spent on purchasing books and journals.
Therefore publishers may be able to retain or even increase their
revenues and profits, while at the same time providing a superior
service. To do this, they will have to take over many of the function
of libraries, and they can do that only in the digital domain. This
paper examines publishers' strategies, how they are likely to evolve,
and how they will affect libraries.

VO To Appear
AB Scholarly communication is in the early stages of a fascinating and
far-reaching transformation made possible by the computing and
communications revolution. Much has been said and written about this
transformation already, and my conference lecture was based on papers
that have been published or are in the process of publication.
Therefore in this note I will avoid duplication and only summarize some
key points and provide a list of references. That the references are
overwhelmingly to my own papers is not a claim to originality, and
simply reflects where various quotes, estimates, and predictions come
from. Those papers contain extensive references to the pioneering work
of many other scholars who have worked in this area. Additional
comprehensive references and treatments of other parts of scholarly
publishing can be found in the collections [EkmanQ, PeekN].

probable that such journals will dominate in the area of basic
scholarly publishing. However, the transition is likely to be
complicated, since the scholarly publishing business is full of inertia

T1 The bumpy road of electronic commerce
YR 1996
SP 378
OP 389
AB Abstract: Electronic commerce is widely expected to promote
``friction-free'' capitalism, with consumers sending software agents to
scour the Net for the best deals. Many distribution chains will indeed
be simplified and costs substantially reduced. However, we are also
likely to see the creation of artificial barriers in electronic
commerce, designed by sellers to extract more value from consumers.
Frequent flyer mileage plans and the bundling of software into suites
are just two examples of the marketing schemes that are likely to
proliferate. It appears that there will be much less a la carte selling
of individual items than is commonly expected, and more subscription
plans. Therefore many current development plans should be redirected.
Electronic commerce is likely to be even more exasperating to consumers
than current airline pricing, and will be even further removed from the
common conception of a ``just price.'' As a result, there are likely to
be more attempts to introduce government regulation into electronic
commerce.

AB Publishing is moving rapidly into the digital age. However, the
transition has just started, many players are reluctant participants,
and neither the final shape of the industry nor the path there are
clear. It is certain that evolution could be much faster, and great
increases in efficiency and effectiveness of communication could be
achieved. As a simple example, little of the older printed material is
being digitized, although in most scientific and technological areas,
all the published material could be made available in electronic form
for under 5% of the annual world-wide spending for journals in those
areas. As another example, Mike Lesk has pointed out that the costs of
just the buildings of the new British Library in London and the new
French National Library in Paris are two or three times higher than the
costs of converting their book collections to a digital format. In a
more rational world, the money going into bricks and mortar would have
gone into scanning the books, which would have provided much more rapid
and convenient access to the data for scholars. The physical volumes
themselves could be housed in cheap warehouses, for the rare occasions
when they might have to be consulted. However, user resistance to new
media, copyright constraints, and the politicians' and the public's
liking for visible edifices and for solid books make it hard to take
that step.

AB Traditional printed journals are a familiar and comfortable aspect

However, they are an awkward artifact, although a highly developed one,
of the print technology that was the only means available over the last
few centuries for large-scale communication. The growth of the
scholarly literature, together with the rapidly increasing power and
availability of electronic technology, are creating tremendous
pressures on journals. The purpose of this article is to give a broad
picture of these pressures and their likely outcome, and to argue that
the coming changes may be abrupt.

YR 1984
SP 356
K1 LIBRARIES, NORWAY, SOCIAL SCIENTISTS
AB The purpose of this dissertation is to help achieve an understanding
of information seeking of scientists and scholars. The main focus has
been to analyze the faculty's information seeking in a decentralized
Norwegian college system ('Distriktshogskolene') established in the
1970's to offer research and studies at university level based on a
more democratic decision process. The research methods are survey
research (questionnaire sent to all faculty members with a response
rate of 84% and interviews), field research (observations and
participation), and review of the research literature. The data are
presented by discipline, field, rank, educational background, sex, and
tenure status. Some of the main findings are these: The context of the
Norwegian college system and demographic variables of the population of
faculty are an important basis for understanding information seeking.
Our study suggests that the faculty has been able to use regional
problems and information sources in their research projects. A majority
ranked journals as their most important formal information source and
citations from journals and books as their most important retrieval
tools. Bibliographical tools, the library catalogues, and the library
staff had little importance. A majority almost never visited other
academic libraries, while public libraries were more frequently
visited, and bookstores were regarded as important information outlets.
Our study suggests a wide individual variance in the perceived
usefulness of conferences. Our study suggests that about 60% of the
faculty devote their time both to teaching and research-related
activities, while about 40% seem to devote their time only to teaching-
related activities. Forty-two percent of the faculty did not publish
anything in 1980-81, while 47% published one or two works and 11%
published three or more works. A relatively small part of the faculty
accounted for a large part of the total number of publications.
Personal recommendations for the discovery and locating of documents
and personal informal contacts during a research project were important
for the faculty. This study suggests that there are small differences
among the disciplines in the importance of interpersonal contacts,
while women seem to be more dependent on interpersonal contacts than
are men. An integrated framework for further study of information
seeking behavior is proposed in the conclusion, based on hypothesized
motivational factors together with interpersonal and environmental
factors.

AB A total of 163 studies examining end-user behaviors (as reported in
175 individual articles) were selected and analyzed for their research
attributes. From the earliest identified study to those conducted
before the end of 2000, recurring themes emerged, as did
characteristics unique to particular studies. The majority of
researchers employed nonexperimental quantitative data collection
methods. However, a select group of qualitative studies and a few
experimental investigations also were identified. Research designs
combining multiple methodologies were the norm. The variables prevalent
across studies were broadly classified into a typology under end-user
traits, system attributes, organizational setting, task and request
characteristics, performance outcomes and obstacles, and results
measures. The specific behaviors that researchers concentrated upon
most often were the end-users' searching techniques, relevance
judgments about information they found, satisfaction with search
results, and prior knowledge brought to bear on online searching
assignments. Also examined were trends in publishing, geographic
locations of field sites, databases selected for searching activities,
and the characteristics of searcher cohorts.

AB The driving force behind most scientists' careers is to achieve the

scientific journals in the mid-seventeenth century, scientists have
condensed their data and conclusions into a manuscript and happily
handed this over to a publisher, who in return has printed it and
distributed it to those willing—or whose institutes are willing—to pay
a subscription fee. But the triple whammy of rising journal prices, an
exploding number of journals and imploding library budgets means that
the bulk of this work can now only be accessed by a small fraction of
its intended audience. The arrival of the World Wide Web has the
potential to change this reality: now that the vast majority of printed
articles are also available in an electronic form, which is
theoretically accessible by anyone with an interest and an internet
connection, shouldn't all articles become free for everyone to read?

correlated to scientific activity, then we can take the amount of
papers published by individuals of a nation (divided by its total
population) as an indicator of that nation's wealth. In the case of
scientific activity, there is the expectation that it not only reflects
today's wealth, but also promises future wealth through the practical
application of the scientific knowledge generated. We analyzed this
indicator using the MEDLINE database of biomedical journal articles
(1), which contains entries including the main address of the authors
and the date of the publication. A first static analysis (measuring the
papers published per inhabitant during 1996-2001) offered no surprises
(see panel A of figure). The differences between First, Second, and
Third Worlds are easily seen in a 10-fold difference in the amount of
articles published per inhabitant.

T1 Scientific Literacy Skills for Non-Science Librarians: Bootstrap
Training
JF Issues in Science & Technology Librarianship
YR 1999
IS 24
AB Adding scientific literacy to the skill set of permanent non-science
and part-time adjunct librarians became a major focus of a staff
development program at San Jose State University Library. The Library's
one reference desk is busy, and librarians field questions from all
disciplines. Changing staffing patterns in the Reference Department
have necessitated the use of more adjuncts at the reference desk. A
proliferation of web-based scientific information sources was
overloading students and the librarians who serve them at Reference. In
order to determine our most pressing training goals, we administered a
survey to all reference personnel, discovering that librarians in the
social sciences and humanities and adjunct librarians felt a knowledge
deficit in chemistry, health sciences, and engineering, among other
disciplines. The adjuncts, in particular, wanted to be brought up to
speed in several aspects of science and technology librarianship,
including the nature of science and its literature, typical
undergraduate and graduate science students' information requirements,
how to use both electronic and print sources in the sciences, and when
to refer questions to science librarians. We put into place Bootstrap
Training, a program for integrated groups of full-time and adjunct
librarians. In this paper we describe an initial training-needs
questionnaire distributed to all reference personnel, the
implementation of a staff development program with scientific literacy
goals, evaluation of the program, and implications for replicating the
training in other library settings.

AB This article makes the case for an engineering knowledge community.
We begin by discussing the differences between science and technology.
We next discuss the similarities and differences between engineers and

behaviors of engineers. Finally, using the research results from the
NASA/DoD Aerospace Knowledge Diffusion Research Project, we compare and
contrast aerospace engineers and scientists as a means of developing
similarities and differences between engineers and scientists in terms
of their information-seeking behavior. The goal of this article is to
demonstrate that engineers are not scientists and that knowledge
production and use differ in engineering and science. We believe that
the current model used to explain information-seeking behavior assumes
no difference between the information-seeking of engineers and
scientists. The distinctions between engineering and science, engineers
and scientists and the information-seeking behaviors of engineers and
scientists have multiple implications for providing information
services, knowledge management, and diffusing knowledge. The message to
libraries is “know thy customer.”

T1 Rank-Normalized Impact Factor: A way to compare journal performance

YR 2004
SP 507
OP 515
AB It is well known that uninformed science administrators often use
ISI's journal impact factors without taking into account the inherent
citation characteristics of individual scientific disciplines. A rank
normalized impact factor (rnIF) is proposed which involves use of order
statistics for the complete set of journals within each JCR category.
We believe the normalization procedure provides reliable and easily
interpretable values. For any journal j, its rnIF is designated as
rnIFj and equals (K - Rj + 1)/K, where Rj is the descending rank of
journal j in its JCR category and K is the number of journals in the
category. Note: JCR impact factor listings are published in descending
order. The proposed rnIF is compared with normalized impact factors
proposed by earlier authors. The efficacy of the rnIF is illustrated in
the cases of seven highly-cited scientists, one each from seven
different fields.

unforeseen by even the boldest of science fiction writers. The GUI,
originally introduced primarily to provide a visual metaphor for an
operating system, has changed culture. The present systems have come to
be as large, complex, and nightmarish as the mainframes they first
displaced. The basic concept of operating-system-and-applications is
flawed from a cognitive perspective because the user must be
consciously aware of both the task at hand and the current system
state. At present, each application in a GUI is a walled city with its
