¿The new library?
7
Visible Web No local web search services
Even small specialized directories vanished Monopoly of search market
More than 90% of web searching in Spain uses Google (Yahoo, Live(MSN) and others contribution is neglible)
Spanish contents in the academic Web World: 2.5% (Spanish) vs. 80.1% (English) Spanish speaking countries: 83,5% (Sp)/ 10,6% (En)
But … Google agreements with Universidad Complutense and
Biblioteca de Cataluña

Researchers attitude Quality issues
Lack of confidence on Web contents Proof: Limited self-archiving
Access issues No searching filtering by rich format files Google Scholar = Google by other name? Live Academic, what? Scirus, Scopus need more marketing effort
Web data Hooray for Web Citation Index

Really huge and representative …?

Invisible Web: Databases The new cataloguing: Metadata
DCMI (Dublin Core) is a real failure No other serious attempt
No new catalogs, but new databases Few annotated web record services Bibliographies not webliographies
Repositories not directories Combining existing resources
Plus some digitalization Major innovation: Hypertext (SFX,…)
Link to full text (internal or external)

Invisible Web: Repositories
Institutional Few initiatives. Most signatories of the Berlin
Declaration have not Open Access mandates Thesis/dissertations: Copyright issue overcome?
Thematic Only international have succeeded: Arxiv, E-LIS
Personal (self-archiving) Extended CVs
Mostly young new members of research groups Acrobat (pdf) format, almost no Powerpoint (ppt)

Invisible Web: e-Journals
Few local “native” electronic journals Disregarded by researchers
Increasing interest in transferring to electronic version Institutional mandate is working, but mainly
because of technical support Technical support also explained (limited)
success of portals of journals Librarians lead, standards and protocols applied

Private Web Major milestones
Consortia, Regional Consortia REBIUN, Madroño, CBUC And a few thematic ones (Medicine, Mathematics, Scielo España)
Integration of local and external resources Metalib, SFX DOI, OpenURL
Web of Knowledge national license National e-journal collections license due 2008
Collective catalogs Main task of consortia: Sharing local resources ILL: SOD (national development)
Web preservation initiatives Catalonia Internet (PADICAT) Google digitalization agreements

E-resources acquisition by consortia Justification
Incomplete global coverage Increased costs of both journals and ILL Many small collections
Advantages of electronic access Positive measures
Third parties funding Easier bureaucracy
Central TIC support and management Barriers
Difficult license negotiations
37
Librarians point of view: Advantages Access to larger collections welcomed
Especially from small libraries Management issues primary concern
Overlap, access, integration Pay per view (download), not for collection
Although real costs not well understood Future National license
80 million Euro/year Scheduled for 2008
38
Librarians point of view: Disadvantages Closed packages
No easy access to journals published by scholarly societies
Rights Different wording in the contracts Back-up files
Collection development Access to previous years
Costs US standards??
39
An interesting example Web of Knowledge
National license 24 million Euros for (4?-5?) years Funded by FECYT (Spanish government)
Granted access to 800 public and private research related organizations
400 concurrent users (never reached that limit) Cheered for both librarians and researchers But only used for (self-) evaluation purposes
Now, what about SCOPUS?
40
End users point of view
Still a not-so-small group of scholars and researchers use mainly print journals
A new paradigm for the rest: Searching not browsing Obscure papers more frequently used Larger offer?? Concern regarding access to restricted distribution
journals Unknown individual paper cost Super-user
41
Supporting new publishing ways Repositories and e-journals
Self-publishing: Biomed Central
Social “bookmarking” RefWorks in Madroño, del.icio.us
Multimedia ADSL (7 million lines in Spain) greatly increases broadband MySpace, YouTube, Flickr
Library 2.0 Social tagging = uncontrolled metadata Wiki new editorship Syndication
42
Conclusions and recommendations Expanded role of the librarian
Choosing collections Integrating local and external resources New editorship (Library 2.0)
The success of consortium Technicians not politicians
Better negotiation Involving professional librarians Reserve local funds for restricted circulation
collections More funds to local initiatives (Web 2.0)
