  1. The International Nuclear Library Network (INLN): Doing more with less! Thanos Giannakopoulos

  2. International Nuclear Library Network (INLN) • A global nuclear information and knowledge management initiative aiming to strengthen international cooperation in nuclear information resource sharing • Working towards leveraging technology and information flows to deliver point-of-need access to information services for nuclear researchers.

  3. International Nuclear Library Network INLN objectives Promote international cooperation 1 Operate in an environment of data-intensive science Strive for low-cost, high-benefit solutions, promote open access policies 7 2 INLN Focus on resource sharing and best practises for nuclear information management 3 6 Point-of-need access to services 4 5 Cater for comprehensive content sources Contribute to global nuclear knowledge management

  8. International Nuclear Library Network (INLN) (nuclear) Library actions Challenges to digital scholarship • Comparative and interdisciplinary nature of research – increasingly difficult to delimit the focus on nuclear topics from broader global themes (IAEA publications attest to this) • Big data • Rising need for evaluated and credible sources - difference between scientific activity (“good enough”) to scientific achievement (“exploratory research”) • Point-of-need access to content • Comprehensive content, semantic web • User services (data curation, new research infrastructures) • User services (online or in person training, information analysis, new library spaces) • Information services rebuilt around user work-flows (sophisticated linking technologies, interconnectedness of web-scale library systems, discoverability) THEN: Resources were scarce and time was abundant NOW: Resources are abundant and time is scarce

  9. International Nuclear Library Network (INLN) INIS & INLN synergies: a case How are users expected to access content? Inconvenient information consumption patterns example: the IAEA Library Resource Portfolio Subscriptions (a selection) Open Access (a selection) INIS 3.7 m. records SCITEC (Information Bridge and Energy Citations) Database). 3 m. records WorldWide Science 95 databases and portals from over 70 countries Faostat 3.5 m. records IAEA Library Catalogue Brazil CNEN Library Catalogue Web of Science 80 m. records Science Direct 12.5 m. records ProquestCentral 70 m. INSPEC 14 records Academic Search Complete 5 m. records National Technical Reports Library (US) 2.2 million 20,000 electronic Journals Web content? Blogs, vlogs, social media content etc. not included

  10. International Nuclear Library Network (INLN) INIS & INLN synergies OPEN SOURCE DISCOVERY SYSTEM LAYER 1 Searching Library Catalogues of INLN participants LAYER 2 Searching open access and subscribed resources of a nuclear Library

  11. International Nuclear Library Network (INLN) INLN: history and roadmap 2005 2008 2010 2012-2013 2014-2015 2016-2017 • Practical Arrangement ratified • Web Coordination Group (INLN governing body) • INLN directory created • Work towards resource bridging • Yammer, Enterprise Network INLN Foundation • INLN gains momentum • Work towards breaking the silos • INLN, an open network • Web. 2.0 presence • Momentum continues • Contextualising the INLN: eScienceenvironment • Linking INLN to other Networks or Associations (SLA, LIBER) • Work towards a Practical Arrangement • Alignment in mission, goals and purpose across the INLN partners • Reconfigure nuclear information services around new user engagement • Work towards index-based discovery across INLN collections
