New Generation Web Services of Libraries: Linking
Finding Services & Linking Services offered by Scholarly Libraries on Web
Search in one System
Search in many Systems at once
Point to something in other system
Links
Conventional, static
Dynamic
E.g. EZB, DBIS generic
Context sensitive
E.g. EZB library view
OpenURL mediated
Kinds of Linking Services
E-Journals = EZB
Community Standard (D) since 2001
Databases = DBIS
Community Standard (D) since 2004 (?)
E-Articles = OpenURL
„ Article Level Linking“
„ Deep Linking“
ISO-Standard since 2006
E-Journal Access via Regensburg Cooperative Catalogue (EZB)
EZB =
Electronic Journal Library
Innovative Project of University Regensburg
Long Term Support through Community & Grants
Entirely web hosted, with Libraries Views & Services (IP based or self-assigned)
Looking monthly at 1 Library & 1 Parameter (EZB eJournal Linking) over time (2000-2009)
EZB eJournal Usage Curves (by months) superimposed for Years 2000-2009 Data: Courtesy of M. MÜLLER, ULB Düsseldorf from EZB-Admin, 2005-05-04
Fluctuations, Plausibility Artifacts and External Effects
Annual Usage Graph (per Month) as provided by EZB
Total: 2002=206.328 Total 2007= 185.361
Question: Is there growth ? Why 2002 months so different ?
Other years look more like 2007
How to explain Month-to-Month variation ?
EZB 2002 Data: Courtesy of M. MÜLLER, ULB Düsseldorf from EZB-Admin, 2005-05-04
Calculating Full Years from Monthly Usage Reports
In this example Monthly EZB report counts are given
Years 2000 & 2009 incomplete (extrapolation)
2002 has some artifacts in it
Calculating of Relative Weight of Months
Based an all Years except 2002

Looking annually at 1 Library & 1 Parameter (EZB eJournal Linking) over time (2000-2009)
From Absolute Usage Figures to Normalized Usage (per Primary User)
EZB e-Journal Service Usage Describing & Interpreting
Observations
Introduction: 2000-2001
Initial usage „Breakout“
Long & Strong Adoption
7 Years of cont. Growth
Growth / Annual Change
2000-2006 + 8-12 % p.a.
Since 2008 – 3 %
2009 only extrapol.
Small reduction continues (?)
Maturation
Plateau Use at Level of 10
Peak reached in 2007: 10,4 ?
Further Service Evolution !?!
Looking annually at 3 Parameters for 1 Library over time (2005-2008)
Usage Development of Different Kinds of Electronic Linking Services
Comparing 2 Parameters (EZB,SFX) for 1 Library at frequent intervals
Linking to e-Journal Homepages (EZB) and Deep Linking to Documents (SFX)
Variability ? Seasonality ? Growth ?Phases ?
Data: Courtesy of M. MÜLLER, ULB Düsseldorf from EZB-Admin, 2005-05-04
Calculation of Rolling 12 Months Periods to visualize Trends Add usage of 12 consecutive months for one „Rolling Year “, then move one Month
