Editor's Notes
- Clay Shirky, noted US writer about all things online and digital, is, of course, a best-selling author. I bet his publisher doesn’t just push a button . . .
- [Cynthia]The forest that is the internet grows larger every day, making it harder for users to find the wood for the trees: posting and hoping? Is that publishing? Does simply posting something online mean it’ll be found, make an impact? This presentation looks at what it takes to publish online and make an impact.
- [Sue Kendall] We might think we know everyone who’s interested in our work – after all, we’re at the centre of many networks, our brand is regularly on the front pages of the world’s press – but, just as more people know who the Queen of England is than the Queen of England can know, so more are interested in our work than we know.
- And the delegations are still on about wanting one-page PBs
- Note: the audience we know is only a part of the public sector
- Please draw a map of the internet, as you see it. Indicate your ‘home’.We’re here somewhere – maybe via the little Google fountain in the middle of the drawing? In ‘Library Thing’? The reality is that everyone’s map of the internet is centred on themselves, their family, friends, hobbies as much as their professional interest. We’re not front and centre for more than a very few. This is shown by measuring ‘Reach’:OECD’s daily online reach in the US is around 0.01% which puts us in the top 16,000 of most-popular websites (Source: Alexa)Conclusion: since, for most people, we’re not front-and-centre we must actively promote our work and fight to increase awareness to take a larger share of users’ time online.
- Did you know that 80% of the US popularion live within 15 miles of a Starbucks and no-one lives more than 140 miles from a Venti Latte?Just as Starbucks (and WallMart and IKEA and McDonalds . . even Apple) actively take their message to market and build distribution channels and outlets close to their target audiences, so must OECD. Can we get 80% of our audience within three clicks of our publications?
- Of which, 25% come from the Statistics A-Z page – people looking for the key and country tables, factbook etcBut as a share of total traffic, OECD.org’s share is falling. So where are they all coming from? Let’s look.
- Gardner and Inger research reader behaviour among academic and high-level student audiences. They found that academics start their research for scholarly information in eleven places. A post-it and hope strategy would miss 85% of the starting points and signposts used by this audience – PAC covers almost all of these by actively posting metadata and/or full text content into these channels. The result is 122,000 referrals to OECD’s publications a month, 24% of all traffic to our publications.
- Other audiences are no different, they each have different online ‘forests’ where they go to find information – this is especially true among professional audiences – law, finance/banking, tax – and more recently policymakers with the launch of Bloomberg Government aimed squarely at those within the Washington Beltway last year. For non-professional audiences (citizens and civil society activists) we use consumer channels like Google Books, Amazon and Scribd.And all the while, PAC is actively using social media to promote and enable audiences to engage, to participate.Just as Starbucks opens close to their customers and uses social media to build audience share, so OECD does the same. And the results are good – around 360,000 readings a month via these non-OECD channels.
- This is about as much as the rest of the Organisation posts on OECD.org every year.
- Which also means that OECD content is found even when people are googling in their own language (and, of course, the summaries link back to the full publication too)
- This chart shows the growth in dissemination over the past decade, driven by a process of continual improvement: editors working with authors on structure and messaging; production and statistical editors adding value with services like Statlinks; marketing and dissemination experts actively seeking out target audiences and building services to suit their needs. Plus all the work done by media, CEU and Publix Affairs to draw attention to OECD, to build brand awareness - It all adds up to more dissemination and greater impact – and more than half the cost is self-funded.PAC added value means OECD Publications do get noticed – in ever greater numbers.
