  1. How publishers & librarians interact in an electronic world Royal College of Nursing, London W113 November 2003 Terry HulbertHead of eDevelopment & Strategy E-mail: terry.hulbert@iop.org Web: http//:www.iop.org

  2. Introduction • How do we interact? • some context • What would JISC like us to do? • What have we done? • What else have we done? • Anything else? • What else could we do? • some thoughts • Summary

  3. What would JISC like us do to? • Using their 5-step guide • www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue33/info-environment • Step1: Expose metadata about your content • support searching using Z39.50 • support harvesting using OAI-PMH • Step 2: Share news/alerts using RSS • Step 3: Become an OpenURL source • Step 4: Become an OpenURL target • Step 5: Use persistent URIs

  4. Step 1: OAI-PMH and Z39.50 • IOP journals content can be harvested using OAI-PMH • PSIgate already uses this • Other services harvest in this way e.g. ADS (NASA Astrophysics Data System) • Still to upgrade to Version 2 • Both Axiom and EJs support Z39.50

  5. Step 2: RSS • IOP makes much of its magazines content available via RSS feeds • news articles, jobs, events • latest papers from selection of journals • syndication.iop.org • EEVL takes a feed • also provided a good overview of RSS • www.eevl.ac.uk/rss_primer

  6. Step 3: OpenURL source • Already have a large number of ExLibris customers – using SFX • Other vendors’ offerings of OpenURL also e.g. Serial Solutions (Article Linker), Endeavour (LinkFinderPlus) • Tell us your Base URL

  7. Step 4: OpenURL target • STACKS linking protocol/syntax • stacks.iop.org/issn/vol/page/pdf • Obviously targets as DOIs can be used • Alternatively use STACKS to point directly to the full-text article • can link elsewhere within the hierarchy

  8. Step 5: persistent URLs • Yes – insofar as f/t articles have DOIs • STACKS links to the rest of hierarchy

  9. What else have we done? • Forward linking • More OpenURL • Clustering • COUNTER

  10. Forward linking • Now able to see papers from other publishers citing the article you’re viewing • APS, NASA’s ADS service • This will grow with CrossRef initiative

  11. OpenURL developments • Build an ‘IOP resolver’ and create our own rules • Integrate ‘See Also’ type links

  12. Clustering • Experimenting with clustering technologies • drill-down browsing • Pre-canned cluster • using NJP • Vivisimo – clustering on-the-fly • limited to subset of search results • Verity k2 Intelligent Classifier – clustering using pre-existing taxonomies • experimenting on Axiom • good example with AIP • physicsfinder.org

  13. COUNTER • Excellent work on usage statistics • it’s a start • IOP currently compliant and building portal • Some excellent examples already available • OUP have finished, as have Elsevier

  14. Anything else? • CrossRef initiatives • forward linking • CrossRef Search (working title) • Customer portals • author gateways • librarian gateways

  15. What else could we do? • PALS Metadata & Interoperability Working Group • Worked closely with EDINA on: • Project TIES • ZBLSA • Worked with EduServ re. Athens • Will be working with Stanford re. LOCKSS • An idea: • graphical history of a reference linking trail • Any others: you tell me

  16. Summary • JISC 5-step guide • distributed publishing; distributed content • Done a lot of these • identifying and adopting emerging technologies & standards • …and continue to do other things • …and would like to do more, much more.

  17. How is all this “radical”? • How many publishers have deployed all this? • How many libraries have deployed all this? • Now that would be radical!
