| Open-access publishing: CORE melds UK repositories Posted: 12 Oct 2011 07:32 PM PDT www.timeshighereducation.co.uk "A search engine that allows researchers to search all of the papers held in the UK's 142 open-access repositories has been developed by The Open University. Over the past decade, many institutions have set up their own open-access repositories, but until now there was no way to search all 142 of them simultaneously. The Jisc-funded application, known as the Connecting Repositories tool, or CORE, also give users the opportunity to search the text of the entire article, rather than just the abstract. Andrew McGregor, Jisc programme manager for digital infrastructure, said: "UK repositories contain a wealth of high-quality research papers. This service should help to make it easier for researchers to discover and explore this content." ..." |

| Authors Guild Files Amended Complaint in Suit Against HathiTrust Posted: 12 Oct 2011 02:13 PM PDT www.libraryjournal.com "The Authors Guild filed an amended complaint on Thursday, October 6, in its suit against HathiTrust, the University of Michigan, and four other universities which alleges the universities engaged "in one of the largest copyright infringements in history." A number of additional authors and authors groups have joined the suit, and offered some harsh words about the HathiTrust project. The U.K. Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society, the Norwegian Nonfiction Writers and Translators Association, the Swedish Writers Union, The Writers' Union of Canada, and four individual authors are among the new plaintiffs in Authors Guild v. HathiTrust...." |
| Evaluating Research By the Numbers Posted: 12 Oct 2011 12:07 PM PDT ACRLog, (03 Oct 2011) "Last week I taught an information literacy class to a group of senior Chemistry students. We didn’t talk about databases or indexes, we talked about numbers. We talked about impact factors and h-indexes and alternative metrics, and the students loved it. Librarians have used these metrics for years in collection development, and have looked them up to help faculty with tenure and promotion packets. But many librarians don’t know where the numbers come from, or what some of the criticisms are...." |
| YaleNews | Yale alumni gain free access to JSTOR’s extensive online scholarly resources Posted: 12 Oct 2011 11:07 AM PDT news.yale.edu "Yale’s more than 130,000 alumni worldwide now have access to a treasure trove of online resources thanks to collaboration between the Association of Yale Alumni (AYA), JSTOR and the Yale University Library.

| The Dead Sea Scrolls, With Access For All | The Jewish Week Posted: 12 Oct 2011 09:45 AM PDT www.thejewishweek.com "When Google and the Israel Museum announced three weeks ago that they were digitizing images of the Dead Sea Scrolls — perhaps the most important biblical discovery of the last century — the praise was nearly ubiquitous....Even scholars who have assiduously studied the scrolls since they became widely available in translated and transcribed form about 15 years ago could not hide their enthusiasm....But once the initial amazement at the digital images wore off, it became clear that many obstacles remain. Interviews with several prominent Dead Sea Scrolls scholars revealed gaping holes in the digitization project that few mentioned amid the first days of the project’s announcement...." |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 09:43 AM PDT www.altmetric.com "Altmetric measures the attention that scientific articles receive on social media sites, in online reference managers and from mainstream news sources. Altmetric tracks tens of thousands of article mentions a month across Twitter, Google+, Facebook, the scientific blogosphere and publishers including The Guardian, the NYT and New Scientist. It assigns scientific papers a score derived from this data. Around 20% of all new papers added to PubMed each month are covered (Altmetric covers articles not found in PubMed too)...." |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 09:35 AM PDT www.ecancermedicalscience.com "A new independent working group has been set up to examine access to UK-funded research findings. Representatives of the HE sector, research funders, the research community, scholarly publishers and libraries will make recommendations on how research findings can be made more easily accessible....The group will be focusing on academic publications, which means that the issue of open access publishing will certainly be coming into play. Free access to journal articles has greatly increased in the last ten years, but it still accounts for less than 10 per cent of the 1.5 million scholarly papers published each year, according to the Publishers Association in the UK...." |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 07:56 AM PDT app.e2ma.net "Europeana’s makeover has been shaped by users, who have helped to create the services they wanted around their cultural heritage. One request was made above all: the right to download for free and re-use the cultural highlights they find on the site. For the first time, Europeana makes it possible to narrow searches ‘by copyright’ so that public domain – out of copyright – content can be precisely targeted. To date, almost half a million items are clearly shown as public domain on Europeana, and Europeana is strongly encouraging its data providers to correctly identify more out-of-copyright content, and not to invoke new rights just because they have digitised an item. At the forefront of public domain provision in Europeana are Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden and Germany...." |
