I will demonstrate the use of the VOSviewer software (www.vosviewer.com), of which I am one of the developers, for creating bibliometric visualizations of science based on openly available bibliographic data sources. Both the use of Crossref data and the use of data from the OpenCitations Corpus will be demonstrated. In addition, I will show how data from Dimensions can be used. The possibilities and limitations of the currently available open data sources will be discussed, also in comparison with more established data sources such as Web of Science and Scopus. Finally, I will provide my perspective on future developments, focusing especially on the integration of open data sources and visual analysis tools.

Many libraries suffer from budget cuts and exchange rate fluctuations. They can optimize their (usage-base) subscriptions using the journal access statistics from their organization. Such statistics is usually provided by publishers in a COUNTER-compliant format, which only includes total access numbers without revealing access patterns and internal details, such as access filtering. NIMS Library uses a proxy server to access e-journals, which logs all HTTP requests to journal websites. If we can map URLs in the log files to journals then we can compare them with the COUNTER-based statistics and obtain more accurate and detailed usage reports. For this purpose, we have developed an access log analyzer, which includes mapping rules from URLs to journals and can be tuned by the librarians. In this survey, we will show the following:
- How this log analyzer and mapping function work
- How we can distinguish accesses to the full text, abstract and supplementary content from access logs
- How we integrate the log analyzer to other library systems such as ERMS
- How we analyze access to journals from different publishers
- Difficulties in creating and updating mapping rules per publisher
- The differences between the COUNTER-based usage statics and actual access numbers

Using Web 2.0 Applications as Information Awareness Tools
The past few years have seen several new technological initiatives at Drexel University in interdisciplinary fields such as Nanomedicine, Engineering Cities, Drug Delivery, Plasma Medicine, Nanoscale Science and Technology, Microfluidics, and Bionanotechnology. These technological initiatives require faculty and students to work together in groups in a collaborative fashion. This has motivated librarians to experiment with new ways of reaching out to faculty and students. Drexel's emphasis on team based engineering design projects requires students to develop critical understanding of engineering subject areas. Developing awareness about the core electronic resources such as IEEE Xplore, Knovel, Web of Knowledge, Science Direct and Engineering Village is crucial in successfully undergoing research and completing assignments in their classes.
This presentation outlines innovative experiments using web 2.0 applications to increase information among faculty and students. Several web 2.0 tools such as Facebook, Friendfeed, Del.icio.us, Google Reader, Wikis, and blogs will be covered. Having engineering librarian's presence on Facebook is useful since many of the students are heavy Facebook users. Drexel's student Organizations such as IEEE and ASME are also on Facebook. Moreover, Drexel University's College of Engineering has recently launched its Facebook page where activities celebrating National Engineering Week have been quickly promoted among student. Drexel Engineering Information Awareness Campaign Group is a librarian-created Facebook group aimed at increasing awareness of new and existing resources among faculty and students. Feeds from Google Reader can be made automatically available on Facebook pages. For this to happen, a user needs to become ‘a friend’ with the engineering librarian on Facebook.
As faculty and students become more aware of new and existing information tools, the information skills learned during the process of exploring these resources will contribute to life-long learning among the engineering students.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

LESLEY You’ve done or are doing a thorough literature review as a start point for your research proposal But you are not finished yet Three years on you are completing your write-up, that’s quite a gap – you need to have kept on top of your subject in the mean time – as you go along preferably Probably a good idea to set up some ways of efficiently keeping up to date – not repeating the lit review process in its fullest form What methods are you using now
LESLEY Update tools will depend on the discipline/field you are exploring – the range of information resources you use will differ
LESLEY Most alerting services provide a Table of Contents for a selected list of journals and/or updated search results of a predefined search. May be specific Alerting service or that provided by many of the databases you use for your literature searching Examples include: Zetoc Alert – British Library service, selection of journals likely to be widest available, in all disciplines TicTOCs harvests and aggregates TOC – includes Springer and Emerald IEEE Explore – saves your searches, sets up alerts and RSS feeds
LESLEY Zetoc Alert offers email alerts of content pages and saved searches Databases page and A-Z list, click on name and might be required to login with OUCU Select Zetoc Alert from left hand menue Choose ‘Open University Choose ‘General Access At ‘Create New Zetoc Alert’ type in email address and name for alert Click on ‘Create’ At bottom of page two links ‘Add Journals’ or ‘Add Searches’ Add Journals – A-Z list or type in name and then click on ‘Add to list’ Add Searches – enter search terms “greek theatre” or author name “Goldhill, S”
LESLEY Most of the previous alerting services also provide RSS feeds as will But specific examples include Google Reader - lets you subscribe to your favorite websites so new content comes to you when it's posted. Bloglines - is the fastest way to find and track your favorite websites and blogs in real-time. Netvibes – functions as a Start Page and is the fastest way to track real-time Web. Social media tools Includes Social networking services Draws together a variety of tools and provides space for a number of groups to interact This has or will be covered in other sessions so I wont go into it in detail except refer to some examples FriendFeed – aggregator of other social media tools, shares features with Facebook ResearchGate – aimed at scientists and other researchers with a range of functionality including a search engine that browses academic databases
LESLEY Social bookmarking Allows users to store and share links to resources of common interest by the use of tags Diigo – bookmarks sites also allows users to highlight content from marked pages Social citation sharing Reference management systems allowing sharing of useful reading with other researchers Mendely – reference manager and academic social network which integrates with Word and other applications like CitULike Website tracking TrackEngine will email you the page with the updates highlighted so that you can read them at leisure later .
