challenging…

The schematic is relatively
simple and remember that for
every extra click you loose 50%
of endusers……
...this what end-users face in reality

•
huge variety of DBs has also brought
huge diversity
•
out of necessity, simplicity is traded
for diversity and cost-effectiveness
•
online usage is huge. End-users are
voting with their mice. The library
needs to be geared to serve them…
Not easy if you are a novice or
an expert…
So how do you make selections?
Experience…
• Faculty Input…
• Vendor Influence…
• Product Quality…
• Price…
Ultimately based on Value = Usage

Librarian’s dilemma
Many databases, many searches, and
heaps of information; end – user does not
know where to start searching
• Googlezation; end-users use google which
does not lead to library resources
In nut shell – you want to combine the
quality of valuable established
databases with the behavior of the enduser
•

Some solutions
•
Library integration systems e.g.
Exlibris, Endeavor, etc

Portals offering federated searching
One access point
Searching across many sources
simultaneously
Seamless linking
Emerging solutions that combine
quality and address ‘google-like’
requirements of End-users
First the library integration
option…
Another way of looking at it

Implications of both options

Library Integration

Scopus

Requires a systems solution and re-thinking of
what databases to keep and integrate
Requires vendor supported interoperability
Off the shelf solution providing partial
integration and linking
Could enable a de-selection of marginal
database or databases with overlapping
content
Provides an option to position high used
specialty DBs alongside a comprehnsive
sources e.g. BIOSIS, Compendex, INSPEC,
Econlit, Emase,

Ultimately both vendors and librarians
strive to serve the end-user
Many solutions available to do so
Solutions chosen will depend on your
situation and budgets
Integration is unavoidable
Although challenging it provides
opportunities to increase value of
purchased products and improve
effeciency of the research process!
A shared objective…
Thank you!
