- Abstract
- Describes the final phase of the work on the ELINOR (Electronic Library INformation Online Retrieval) project at De Montfort University, Leicester, which concluded in 1996. ELINOR was 2 phase project with 3 overall goals: to create a practical pilot system based on a commercial product (Excalibur EFS); to investigate the expansion of a small scale electronic library to a larger, distributed library system; and to develop a more efficient and effective means of accessing and sharing resources within a networked multi campus institution. ELINOR was successful in demonstrating that libraries may conveniently digitize and supply smal collections of high demand materials over a campus network in text anf TIFF format. Operational conditions have so far indicated that the barriers are not technological but involve copyright, use issues and sustainability

- Abstract
- Reports a review of the literature on information seeking behaviour in fields other than information science. Fields covered were: innovation research, health communication studies; organizational decision making; and information requirements in information systems design. The review was an integrated review on the basis of what may be contributed to information science. Sets out a general model of information seeking behaviour and shows how that model may be reviewed in the light of work in other fields

- Abstract
- Describes a project aimed at setting up a 1 stop scientific, technical and commerical information service for technical companies at Belasis Hall Technology Park, Cleveland, UK. The project accomplished this by: identifying the information needs of the existing and potential tenants; establishing how best to meet those needs (paying a special attention to the role of online information) and setting up a 1 year pilot project: disseminating the results of the project for replication elsewhere and making information provision an integral part of science park design; promoting information as a basis for problem solving and decision making; promoting close links with the users; determining which sources and methods of delivery are most relevant (patents, trade directories, market research reports, online searches); developing a charging policy for the service with a view to the service becoming self financing; increasing the partners' experience in resource sharing; developing a training needs analysis for both providers and users; developing performance indicators; and monitoring the service provided

- Abstract
- Reports results of the project C-ODAI, undertaken at University College London, Computer Science Department, the aim of which was to build a demonstration and test bed facility for online access to a large electronic library of multimedia documents. The project was a pilot experiment in the use of a database of compound documents (text and images) in the Open Document Architecture (ODA) format. The database used is part of the contents of the periodicals of the American Chemical Society (ACS). Discusses the overall view of the project and the tools which have been implemented to deal with juke box storage and conversion of different data, and early results of user tests. The project forms part of the ACS/PODA project, funded jointly by the CEC under the ESPRIT PODA-SAX project, and by the British Library Research and Development Department

- Abstract
- Examines the place of CD-ROMs in academic libraries and in particular the use of network solutions to widen the access to these services. A questionnaire survey was undertaken of academic libraries in the UK, Eire, USA and Canada and the results analysed. 9 UK libraries were selected as case studies for more detailed examinations of the issues involved: in particular the management issues. These case studies were selected to cover a variety of experiences and circumstances. A parallel survey looked at CD-ROM publishing and a questionnaire survey was sent to publishers but the response was not as good as the previous survey. Trends in CD-ROM publishing, including the future of CD-ROM in the views of the publishers and of librarians, suggest that other electronic media may replace CD-ROM for some applications but that CD-ROM is likely to remain a part of hybrid information systems. The networking of CD-ROM services is constrained by the cost, by technical complexity, and by restrictive licensing agreements. Future electronic information services may include regionally or nationally mounted databases accessible over the Internet or over SuperJanet in the UK. Issues such as the electronic library or the virtual library, and document delivery services are likely to gain prominence

- Abstract
- Report of a project commissioned by British Library Research and Development Department (BLRDD) from Electronic Publishing Services Ltd designed to provide factual input about electronic publishing in the UK for a worlking party convened by the British Library as part of a follow up to the Information 2000 exercise, completed in 1991. The working party will consider the possible impacts on the library community of the development of electronic publishing. For the purpose of this study, electronic publishing was defined as including: online services (including videotex); magnetic tape services; magnetic disk products; CD-ROM and other optical disc products; ROM cards; and electronic periodicals. The main conclusions were: that the dominant position of Reuters and other financial information services means that online information retrieval still accounts for the vast majority of electronic publishing revenues; that CD-ROM is experiencing high growth, but growth from a small base and coming later than predicted; that network publishing is still in the experimental stage and almost entirely funded from the public sector; that ROM cards, which provide the medium for hand held electronic reference books are still present in the market and represent the only mass market channel; and that other electronic media (magnetic tape, magnetic disk, analogue videodisc) are not seen as having a significant part to play

- Abstract
- This is a report about the use and misuse of citation data in the assessment of scientific research. The idea that research assessment must be done using "simple and objective" methods is increasingly prevalent today. The "simple and objective" methods are broadly interpreted as bibliometrics, that is, citation data and the statistics derived from them. There is a belief that citation statistics are inherently more accurate because they substitute simple numbers for complex judgments, and hence overcome the possible subjectivity of peer review. But this belief is unfounded. - Relying on statistics is not more accurate when the statistics are improperly used. Indeed, statistics can mislead when they are misapplied or misunderstood. Much of modern bibliometrics seems to rely on experience and intuition about the interpretation and validity of citation statistics. - While numbers appear to be "objective", their objectivity can be illusory. The meaning of a citation can be even more subjective than peer review. Because this subjectivity is less obvious for citations, those who use citation data are less likely to understand their limitations. - The sole reliance on citation data provides at best an incomplete and often shallow understanding of research - an understanding that is valid only when reinforced by other judgments. Numbers are not inherently superior to sound judgments.
Using citation data to assess research ultimately means using citation-based statistics to rank things.journals, papers, people, programs, and disciplines. The statistical tools used to rank these things are often misunderstood and misused. - For journals, the impact factor is most often used for ranking. This is a simple average derived from the distribution of citations for a collection of articles in the journal. The average captures only a small amount of information about that distribution, and it is a rather crude statistic. In addition, there are many confounding factors when judging journals by citations, and any comparison of journals requires caution when using impact factors. Using the impact factor alone to judge a journal is like using weight alone to judge a person's health. - For papers, instead of relying on the actual count of citations to compare individual papers, people frequently substitute the impact factor of the journals in which the papers appear. They believe that higher impact factors must mean higher citation counts. But this is often not the case! This is a pervasive misuse of statistics that needs to be challenged whenever and wherever it occurs. -For individual scientists, complete citation records can be difficult to compare. As a consequence, there have been attempts to find simple statistics that capture the full complexity of a scientist's citation record with a single number. The most notable of these is the h-index, which seems to be gaining in popularity. But even a casual inspection of the h-index and its variants shows that these are naive attempts to understand complicated citation records. While they capture a small amount of information about the distribution of a scientist's citations, they lose crucial information that is essential for the assessment of research.
The validity of statistics such as the impact factor and h-index is neither well understood nor well studied. The connection of these statistics with research quality is sometimes established on the basis of "experience." The justification for relying on them is that they are "readily available." The few studies of these statistics that were done focused narrowly on showing a correlation with some other measure of quality rather than on determining how one can best derive useful information from citation data. We do not dismiss citation statistics as a tool for assessing the quality of research.citation data and statistics can provide some valuable information. We recognize that assessment must be practical, and for this reason easily-derived citation statistics almost surely will be part of the process. But citation data provide only a limited and incomplete view of research quality, and the statistics derived from citation data are sometimes poorly understood and misused. Research is too important to measure its value with only a single coarse tool. We hope those involved in assessment will read both the commentary and the details of this report in order to understand not only the limitations of citation statistics but also how better to use them. If we set high standards for the conduct of science, surely we should set equally high standards for assessing its quality.
