Open Access and Discovery Tools: How do Primo Libraries Manage Green Open Access Collections?
Scholarly Open Access repositories contain lots of treasures including rare
or otherwise unpublished materials and articles that scholars self-archive,
often as part of their institution's mandate. But it can be hard to discover
this material unless users know exactly where to look. Since the very
beginning, libraries have played a major role in supporting the OA movement.
Next to all services they can provide to support the deposit of research output
in the repositories, they can make Open Access materials widely discoverable by
their patrons through general search engines (Google, Bing...), specialized
search engines (like Google Scholar) and library discovery tools, thus
expanding their collection to include materials that they would not necessarily
pay for. In this paper, we intend to focus on two aspects regarding Open Access
and Primo discovery tool. In early 2013, Ex Libris Group started to add
institutional repositories to Primo Central Index (PCI), their mega-aggregation
of hundreds of millions of scholarly e-resources. After 2 years, it may be
interesting to take stock of the current situation of PCI regarding Open Access
institutional repositories. On basis of a survey to carry out among the Primo
community, the paper also shows how libraries using Primo discovery tool
integrate Green Open Access contents in their catalog. Two major ways are
possible for them: Firstly, they can directly harvest, index and manage any
repository in their Primo and display those free contents next to the more
traditional library collections; Secondly, if they are PCI subscribers, they
can quickly and easily activate any, if not all, of the Open Access
repositories contained PCI, making thus the contents of those directly
discoverable to their end users.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figures, 1 appendi
How to increase your impact with Open Access. Bruxelles, 13 février 2007 [compte rendu]
Compte rendu de la journée nationale "How to increase your impact with Open Access" du 13 février 2007
Les BU en Belgique francophone
Rattachées à leur université mais non à un ministère, les BU de la Belgique francophone jouissent d’une indépendance qui ne doit pas se transformer en isolement. Elles cherchent donc à collaborer et à s’organiser, fortement encouragées par les nouveaux défis de l’ère numériqu
Molecular characterization of the bovine GHRL gene
peer reviewedaudience: researcherBovine ghrelin, a 27 amino acid pepticle, has been identified in oxyntic glands of the abomasum. It is an endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor and stimulates food intake and growth hormone secretion. The bovine GHRL gene was completely sequenced and consists of five exons and four introns. Like mouse and human GHRL genes, we found that the bovine GHRL gene also contains a first non-coding exon of 21 bp. The bovine GHRL gene codes for 116 amino acid pepticle named preproghrelin which contains the ghrelin pepticle and another pepticle similar to obestatin. Sequence analysis revealed eight polymorphisms, which are located in the non-coding sequence of the gene
Passer à un SGB pour susciter l'appétit de changement et lutter contre l'inertie ?
En février 2015, les Bibliothèques de l'Université de Liège sont passées au système de gestion de bibliothèque Alma, moins de 10 ans après une migration vers Aleph et 2 ans après le lancement de la solution discovery Primo. Cette présentation balaye les moments clés du projet Alma, en mettant l'accent sur la composante organisationnelle, la gestion du changement, les attentes et espoirs suscités
Scriptorium, a retro-cataloguing tool to easily and quickly encode older book items
The University of Liège Library's books collection is composed of some 2,000,000 print volumes, of which only 60% are catalogued. Most of the uncatalogued books have been published before 1970 and cataloguing these according usual standards and norms would certainly take decades. To decrease the cost of treatments and increase the number of catalogued volumes, the Library developed a light PHP/MySQL application, Scriptorium, that enables non-catalogers (mostly students) to quickly encode the books (ca 3 min. per item) by providing the most essential information. References are then daily exported in MarcXML to the ILS. Scriptorium has been developed to permit to easily create new independent instances for different parallel retro-cataloguing projects and also to be used by other libraries
Rendre les services de la BU plus accessibles et plus visibles avec Library Mobile : retour d'expérience à l'ULiège
En 2021, la bibliothèque de l'Université de Liège (ULiège) a initié un projet de déploiement de l'application mobile "Library Mobile" (basée sur la technologie campusM d'Ex Libris). L'objectif était de proposer un service innovant qui améliore la visibilité de la bibliothèque et de ses services auprès des étudiants et membres du personnel. Cette présentation résume le projet et dresse un état des premiers mois d'utilisation
ORBi in orbit, a user-oriented IR for multiple wins: why scholars take a real part in the success story...
The University of Liège's institutional repository, ORBi (Open Repository and Bibliography, http://orbi.ulg.ac.be), was officially launched in November 2008. Barely fourteen months later (February 2010), it already contained more than 30,000 bibliographic references with more than 20,000 full texts available. In other words, this represents a growth of more than about 65 new references a day, which is appreciable for a medium-sized university (17,000 students, 2,700 scholars, about 3,500 new publications/year). According to ROAR (http://roar.eprints.org), ORBi is the second institutional repository (for a total of 930) in high activity level (i.e. number of days with more than 100 archived references a day). Furthermore, all these records were archived by the Institution authors themselves, there was neither batch archiving nor mass validation. What are the reasons that may explain such a success
