    1. ETDE – A Catalyst for Energy Technology Breakthroughs: Bringing the Researcher Closer to Research Lisbon, Portugal 5 July 2007 Brian A. Hitson Chair, IEA Energy Technology Data Exchange (U.S. DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information)

    2. Advances in energy technology depend on the diffusion of knowledge

    3. Sequential diffusion may take months to years!

    4. A New Era of Innovation

    5. 2. Starting with a search using the Easy Search option screen – trying biofuels or biodiesel as the search 2. Starting with a search using the Easy Search option screen – trying biofuels or biodiesel as the search

    6. 3. Next, showing the search results screen – highlight number received (over 5000), and the layout showing titles and dates, and also the links and the PDF icons on the left 3.

    7. 4. Then try a more specific search using options available on the Advanced Search screen. Specific search example is looking for Switchgrass or wood in the title; other options available for searching are by author subject, research organization, dates, etc.4. Then try a more specific search using options available on the Advanced Search screen. Specific search example is looking for Switchgrass or wood in the title; other options available for searching are by author subject, research organization, dates, etc.

To next illustrate what a full record looks like, you can click on one of these records (not shown on the specific screen above, but is down further) Citation example for ‘Fuel handbook – Wood and other renewable fuels’ from Sweden Note the abstract in English and the subject indexing, among other features.6.

    10. 7. Clicking on a PDF icon you can then get to the full text; in most cases, you can search it as well as view, save or print it7. Clicking on a PDF icon you can then get to the full text; in most cases, you can search it as well as view, save or print it

    11. 8. Switching subject areas, look at Hydrogen and Fuel Cells – almost 10,000 matches there8. Switching subject areas, look at Hydrogen and Fuel Cells – almost 10,000 matches there

    12. 13. Solar water heating seems to be of some interest, especially finding lower cost alternatives? Search is on “water heating”13. Solar water heating seems to be of some interest, especially finding lower cost alternatives? Search is on “water heating”

    13. 14. Example showing a mobile solar water heater – where the author is from South Africa point – many of the journals have input from researchers globally, not just from our member countries. Thus, there are likely to be examples from countries with similar conditions as South Africa.14.

    14. Pre-ETDE “A Bilateral World”

    15. ETDE Model – Multilateral Cooperation:

    16. Technical Evolution of the ETDE Model

    17. ETDE’s Strategic Evolution – A History of Partnering/Collaboration INIS Support to G8 Developing Country Goals IEA NEET Initiative – “Plus 5” Countries European Commission Support Other IEA Cooperation Clean Coal Centre IEA publications

    18. Current and Future Information Landscape – Challenges and Solutions Challenges The “Google” Perception – Everything is “there” Reality of surface web versus deep web “Members Only” Access Economics of producing bibliographic records Proliferation of distributed portals – maintaining an identity Multiplicity of languages

    19. Solutions Balance strategic partnerships and strategic individualism Maintain a niche – specialty Search and be searched – but require attribution Current and Future Information Landscape – Challenges and Solutions Continued

    20. Solutions Adopt technology to overcome usage limitations Automated user authentication tools Sophisticated “on the fly” translations tools Continually strive to bring researchers closer to research Integrate numeric data access into full text Accommodate video and audio Integrate resources into “collaboratories” Current and Future Information Landscape – Challenges and Solutions Continued
