11. - THE ROADS TO OPEN ACCESS (Harnads terminology) Systematic by journal Ad-hoc by articles Mandated OA by employers, funding organizations), government (!) Volunteered by publisher Self-archived by individuals Jacso

12. MAJOR TYPES of OA DIGITAL COLLECTIONS Institutional repositories (Univ of Southampton) Topical (subject) repositories - (DLIST, eLIS) Personal repositories (Eugene Garfield) Publishers and digital facilitators collections Immediate OA Delayed OA (moratorium 3-24 months) Out of copyright collections (Live Windows Books) Selective open access (Google Books) Jacso

13. Layers of OA (my opinion, no declaration) Partially open access (hundred millions of bibliographic records with abstracts) Not just peer-reviewed research journals but also professional journals (Online, Searcher, etc.) – but here it is not mandated Not just journals but also books, conference proceedings, encyclopedias, etc. Jacso

17. Open Access (OA) is here to stay … and grow OA > Free (for whom, for how long, from where?) OA is universally free (for anyone, from anywhere, at anytime) May be a subset of, mixed with non-OA May have limits in retrospectivity and currency You can browse, search, display substantial info Digital D-i-v-i-d-e alliterates nicely - but it is just not true Jacso

18. The time is ripe Best ways to promote implementation of OA talk and write about the variety in HICs & LICs use and show em to prove their instant benefits Digital (& wireless) make the world go round Digital & wireless & OA make information go round the world OA information & Open Source Software make the perfect pair for OA databases Jacso

64. And now …about Google Scholar (GS) Jacso

65. The Myth GS is the alpha and the omega of OA sources I dont need no nothing with GS at my fingertip-attitude GS personality cult GS is the smartest GS is my best friend GS for president GS for People magazine cover GS for TIME Magazine Person of the Year GS for citedness and impact factor Jacso

66. The Reality Secrecy about sources Secrecy about journals Secrecy about time span Secrecy about size Secrecy about everything Huge gaps in collections crawled from partners archives No crawling binge allowed by Elsevier, ACS, and ….. Good for the casual search, for the undergrad students, but not for the real scholars Information Professionals beware of your reputation Jacso

67. Reality Check Check it for yourself http://www2.hawaii.edu/~jacso/scholarly/side-by-side2.htm Jacso I will update it soon. Use under Firefox not IE !

68. Check out my short picture-book for GS Innumeracy & GS Illiteracypicture-book Jacso http://www2.hawaii.edu/~jacso/extra/gs/

69. Some Jacso Surprising Sample Searches SSSS

70. Google Scholar Jacso

71. Google Scholars Basic Boolean Blunder

72. GS advanced template Jacso

73. Wow, how many items with Vietnam in the title alone ….

74. … Even if GS shows only the first 1,000, or 995 or less Jacso

75. So lets search for Vietnam OR Vietnamese (GS cant truncate) Jacso

76. How can it be fewer with using OR? Why did it drop from 134,000 to 43,400? Why did it loose 70% of its hits? Because GS cant tell the truth. GS is partially illiterate and innumerate and less then sincere Jacso

77. After Boolean OR the set decreases to 32% of the original Jacso

78. DO USE & ENJOY Google Scholar but dont believe its hit numbers and citedness scores even if it seems to see the future and tell what will be published and how many hundred times they were already cited Jacso

79. by papers published 10-15 years ago Jacso

80. Actually 2008 is not a publication year but a page number and in other cases a part of the ISSN, a phone number, a ZIP code or anything that is four digit Jacso

81. Google Scholar sees farther in the future Jacso

82. Cited by papers published in the 1990s already Jacso

83. The GS hit counts are typically inflated - but authors and co-authors have interesting names Jacso

84. … and so are the citation counts which could ease my pain for my misspelled name If they were true Jacso Even if that 4 is only 3 – or just 1

85. DC Field (=Dublin Core field) a.k.a Meghan Lafferty in April, 2004 did not & could not quote my Google Scholar review as Google Scholar was introduced in November, 2004 and my review published in December, 2004 Jacso

86. GS suggests authors on the topic - thank you Jacso

87. Google Scholar explains how to use the author names Jacso

88. …. and explains many other things Jacso

89. Who is cited & what is cited? Who is R. Card? Cited only 4 times in 6 years? STD article in Circulation Jacso

90. Oh, this is advertising circulation data And this is the journal name Jacso Oh, this is advertising circulation data
