Opening Science: Increasing Access To Federally Funded Research, Jerry Sheehan
Opening Science: Increasing Access To Federally Funded Research, Jerry Sheehan
Open Access Day
Increasing Access to Federally Funded Research: Summarizes the considerable progress that Federal departments and agencies have made increasing public access to the results of Federally-supported scientific research and advancing the broader notion of open science. In this session, Jerry Sheehan, talks about sixteen agencies that now require researchers to ensure free public access to peer-reviewed publications resulting from all newly-funded research, with a delay of not more than 12 months after the publication date, and all agencies now have repositories to enhance accessibility to such research.

Scholars Archive Snapshot: Showcase Your Research, Lindsay Van Berkom, Jodi Boyle, Wendy L. West
Open Access Day
Scholars Archive is the University at Albany's Institutional Repository (IR). Scholars Archive provides a way for the University at Albany, faculty, staff, researchers and students to collect their scholarly work in a centralized place where it will be preserved, stored securely and easily shared. This session will highlight some of the benefits that Scholars Archive can offer. Jodi Boyle and Wendy West, both from the University at Albany Libraries, share their experiences with Scholars Archive.
If You Build It, Will They Come? Collateral Benefits Of Changing Strategies To Facilitate Faculty Participation In A Campus Ir, Lindsay Van Berkom, Elaine M. Lasda Bergman
If You Build It, Will They Come? Collateral Benefits Of Changing Strategies To Facilitate Faculty Participation In A Campus Ir, Lindsay Van Berkom, Elaine M. Lasda Bergman
University Libraries Faculty Scholarship
In October, 2014, the University at Albany Libraries launched Scholars Archive (SA), the University’s Institutional Repository (IR). Our first year of trial and error generated mixed results and low participation by non-library faculty. In year two, we redeveloped our strategy to yield benefits beyond simply increasing repository content. The new approach has three prongs: targeting outreach to deans, department heads and campus wide meetings instead of targeting to individual faculty members; second, we now provide a “full service” model for submitting content instead of merely mediating a “self-service” workflow model; third, we strategically highlight the IR platform’s available metrics to …
Finding Citations To Social Work Literature: The Relative Benefits Of Using Web Of Science, Scopus, Or Google Scholar, Elaine M. Lasda Bergman
Finding Citations To Social Work Literature: The Relative Benefits Of Using Web Of Science, Scopus, Or Google Scholar, Elaine M. Lasda Bergman
University Libraries Faculty Scholarship
Past studies of citation coverage of Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar do not demonstrate a consistent pattern that can be applied to the interdisciplinary mix of resources used in social work research. To determine the utility of these tools to social work researchers, an analysis of citing references to well-known social work journals was conducted. Web of Science had the fewest citing references and almost no variety in source format. Scopus provided higher citation counts, but the pattern of coverage was similar toWeb of Science. Google Scholar provided substantially more citing references, but only …
Social Gerontology- Integrative And Territorial Aspects: A Citation Analysis Of Subject Scatter And Database Coverage, Elaine M. Lasda Bergman
Social Gerontology- Integrative And Territorial Aspects: A Citation Analysis Of Subject Scatter And Database Coverage, Elaine M. Lasda Bergman
University Libraries Faculty Scholarship
To determine the mix of resources used in social gerontology research, a citation analysis was conducted. A representative sample of citations was selected from three prominent gerontology journals and information was added to determine subject scatter and database coverage for the cited materials. Results indicate that a significant portion of gerontology research, even from a social science perspective, relies roughly equally on medical resources as it does social science resources. Furthermore, there is a small but defined core of literature constituting scholarly “territory” unique to gerontology. Analysis of database indexing indicated that broad, interdisciplinary databases provide more comprehensive coverage of …

Web Citation Availability: A Follow-Up Study, Mary F. Casserly, James E. Bird
University Libraries Faculty Scholarship
The researchers report on a study to examine the persistence of Web-based content. In 2002, a sample of 500 citations to Internet resources from articles published in library and information science journals in 1999 and 2000 were analyzed by citation characteristics and searched to determine cited content persistence, availability on the Web, and availability in the Internet Archive. Statistical analyses were conducted to identify citation characteristics associated with availability. The sample URLs were searched again between August 2005 and June 2006 to determine persistence, availability on the Web, and in the Internet Archive. As in the original study, the researchers …
Research In Academic Library Collection Management, Mary F. Casserly
Research In Academic Library Collection Management, Mary F. Casserly
University Libraries Faculty Scholarship
This chapter describes the empirical quantitative and qualitative research and case studies pertaining to collection management practice in academic libraries published between 1990 and 2007. The topics covered include collection size and growth, material cost, library expenditures, budgets and budgeting, collection development policies, collection composition, organization and staffing for collection management, selection, and the evaluation of the collection development process and the collection itself. The chapter identifies the most influential and useful studies and the most active areas of research. The collection management research literature was limited in the methodologies employed (surveys and case studies), statistical analyses applied (basic and …
Web Citation Availability: Analysis And Implictions For Scholarship, Mary F. Casserly, James E. Bird
Web Citation Availability: Analysis And Implictions For Scholarship, Mary F. Casserly, James E. Bird
University Libraries Faculty Scholarship
Five hundred citations to Internet resources from articles published in library and information science journals in 1999 and 2000 were profiled and searched on the Web. The majority contained partial bibliographic information and no date viewed. Most URLs pointed to content pages with "edu" or "org" domains and did not include a tilde. More than half (56.4%) were permanent, 81.4 percent were available on the Web, and searching the Internet Archive increased the availability rate to 89.2 percent. Content, domain, and directory depth were associated with availability. Few of the journals provided instruction on citing digital resources. Eight suggestions for …
