Looking at the (Scientific) User

• Spend 0,5 days/week searching for information • Most frequently used information sources

– Journals (73%)– Internet search engines (71%)– Books (67%)– Personal / non-formal communication (52%)– Scientific portals / subject gateways (39%)

• Big differences between disciplinesBoekhorst et al. 2003, Poll 2004

What (Scientific) Users Want

• Specialized portals (deep indexing, integration)• Interdisciplinary links (cluster search)• Intelligent integration (all types of information)• Quality („no waste“, role of search engines?)• Quantity + relevance (but no information

overflow)• Direct access („now-or-never“, reference +

source)• Communication (invisible colleges)

Confirms results from recent surveys Role of Grey and Open Access literature
