What is a Federated Search Engine?

• Global search OR Meta Search OR Broadcast Search• Same-time searches of different e-resources• Single searchable point• Blends:

– E-journals, library catalogue, subscription databases, e-print collections, digital repositories, web pages

Page 7: Implementing the AIS E-strategy “Practicing what we preach”

Why a Federated Search Engine?

• Client service business model• Client needs have changed• NetGen students depend on Google

– Simple search interface– Search all resources simultaneously– “Three-clicks”

• Saves time• Immediate access to fulltext via link resolver• Maximise technology• Utilise AIS Subscription databases more fully• Reduce workload on staff

Page 8: Implementing the AIS E-strategy “Practicing what we preach”

About Google Scholar™

“Offering [Google Scholar™] as an option will not deny our students the choice of using a

specific database and advanced features.

But refusing to offer that option will deny them an alternative that may suit their needs better than

database-by-database searching.”

UPSpaceUPSpace

Page 32: Implementing the AIS E-strategy “Practicing what we preach”

What is an institutional repository?

• Set of services• Management & dissemination of digital materials• Organisational commitment• Stewardship• Long-term preservation• Organisation, access, distribution

Page 33: Implementing the AIS E-strategy “Practicing what we preach”

Why an institutional repository?

• We need to learn to manage digital resources as well as we do with print

• The emphasis is going back towards organizing content

• We need to work even closer together in this global world

• Adapt new ways of delivering service, perhaps even to people you might never see

• E-mail• Recommend an Item• Subscribe to a Collection

• For UP– Provide coherent view of UP research output with immediate access to

fulltext– Link to UP Research Report– Long term archiving & preservation of intellectual output– Making available UP wealth of knowledge internationally

Page 50: Implementing the AIS E-strategy “Practicing what we preach”

Benefits (2)

• For scholars– Free, unrestricted easy access – also to fulltext

– Searchable (incl. fulltext) – not static web page

• For information specialists– Convenient, easily retrievable

Prof Roger Fischer, Department of Architecture:

"What this demonstrates to me is that where traditionally each of the activities of the different academic groupings would have been siloed into their own way of doing, this project has created opportunity for a synergy where the whole is greater than the sum of its' parts, including an enthusiasm in the students they will only discover in use and not in invention."

Page 52: Implementing the AIS E-strategy “Practicing what we preach”

Future prospects?

• Introduce UPSpace to more faculties & departments

• Support from UP Executive Management• UP Policy on open access• Publishing on UPSpace maybe a NRF

prerequisite for funding• Collaboration & supporting others• Play a role in the reform of the scholarly

communication system – also internationally
