What are Researchers looking for on the Web? <ul><li>Tools for improving their workflow, to gain efficiency </li></ul><ul><li>Communication, sharing, collaboration, dissemination research ideas and output </li></ul><ul><li>to possibly get bigger recognition and reward of their research output </li></ul>

21.

Research 2.0 : some aspects <ul><li>Communities & collaboration powered by web 2.0 </li></ul><ul><li>Resources: creating, storing, organising, sharing, exchange, distribution, browsing, searching, re-use, enrich, re-create </li></ul><ul><li>Faster, more efficient, greater competetiveness, repeatable, more productive … </li></ul><ul><li>Enables open feedback and reviews of work </li></ul><ul><li>A machine-understandable format allows others to take the data and analyze it independently </li></ul>

24.
Scientists are certainly looking for it… http:// www.flickr.com / photos / inan /2398401833/ sizes /o/

Reasons NOT to ignore Social Networks and the tools offered <ul><li>Efficiency possibilities </li></ul><ul><li>Build professional communities </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Research </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Management </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Build learning communities </li></ul><ul><li>Build sharing communities </li></ul><ul><li>Build community support through outreach </li></ul>Online Social Networks in Healthcare & Libraries PF Anderson, Emerging Technologies Librarian, Health Sciences Libraries, pfa@umich.edu

48.
More Reasons …. <ul><li>Connection, communication, collaboration, consultation </li></ul><ul><li>Discuss & share information (articles, photos, videos, cases, data, methodologies) </li></ul><ul><li>Q&A, rapid response (sometimes), serendipitous discovery </li></ul><ul><li>Global, international connections & opportunities </li></ul><ul><li>Find employment & research opportunities </li></ul><ul><li>Emerging trends, topics, medications, treatments, insights in your field </li></ul>Online Social Networks in Healthcare & Libraries PF Anderson, Emerging Technologies Librarian, Health Sciences Libraries, pfa@umich.edu

49.
Do we see the libraries look for it as well? <ul><li>The question is not whether the shift is going to happen, but how fast? </li></ul><ul><li>It will change the behaviour of researcher, new ways of thinking and operating; we should adapt </li></ul>

<ul><li>VLEs for Students & Teachers </li></ul><ul><li>VREs for Researchers </li></ul>

53.
<ul><li>Simple VRE Definition </li></ul><ul><li>A VRE helps researchers from all disciplines to work collaboratively by managing the increasingly complex range of tasks involved in carrying out research. </li></ul>

54.
<ul><li>Complex VRE Definition </li></ul><ul><li>The concept of a VRE is evolving. … as shorthand for the tools and technologies needed by researchers to do their research, interact with other researchers (who may come from different disciplines, institutions or even countries) and to make use of resources and technical infrastructures available both locally and (inter)nationally </li></ul>

55.
<ul><li>frameworks </li></ul><ul><li>to define and help to develop VRE frameworks and associated standards, and to encourage the development and population of these frameworks with applications, services and resources to create VREs appropriate to particular needs </li></ul>

57.
Key recommendations

58.
“ Scratch Where It Itches”

59.
<ul><li>Bottom-up & </li></ul><ul><li>focus on researchers needs and specific research communities </li></ul>

60.
<ul><li>Community building projects rather than technology project </li></ul><ul><li>Creating a VRE is a SOCIAL as much as a technical achievement </li></ul>

61.
<ul><li>Broad Research community effort </li></ul><ul><li>Including managers, librarians, champions, promoters </li></ul>

62.
<ul><li>Sustainability </li></ul><ul><li>Key role for libraries </li></ul><ul><li>Preference for a Web 2.0 style of development and implementation (lightwight, customisable solutions) </li></ul><ul><li>Needs to be driven by researchers, rather than being imposed by institution </li></ul>

63.
Benefits <ul><li>faster research results </li></ul><ul><li>novel research directions </li></ul>

64.
Key findings <ul><li>Providing general VRE Frameworks </li></ul><ul><li>One-size-fits-all will not work </li></ul><ul><li>Awareness raising is desirable </li></ul><ul><li>UK seen as international leader in VRE development </li></ul><ul><li>External (web) applications still important </li></ul><ul><li>Integration semantic web technology useful </li></ul><ul><li>On - location support </li></ul>

65.
FOR LIBRARIES <ul><li>VREs are seen are good way to feature library resources </li></ul><ul><li>Be involved in the creating of digital research output from the start </li></ul>

66.
<ul><li>while the teaching community regards the library as a partner, the research community tends to “do things by itself” </li></ul><ul><li>Brown and Swan, 2007 </li></ul>

Summary (more key points for Libraries) <ul><li>Communication between researchers and librarians </li></ul><ul><li>Play a role in the exchange and sharing of research-based information in social network technologies </li></ul><ul><li>Re-define the library, services, it’s systems, to reach: Visibility, Findability, Searchability and Accessibility </li></ul><ul><li>Branding and marketing the library: embed & integrate </li></ul><ul><li>Libraries should collaborate, communicate, cooperate, facilitate, support learning & research </li></ul>

71.
Strategical Implications <ul><li>Developing the supporting infrastructure for </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Creation </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Data management </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Communication </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Re-focus policy </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Staff development & expertise </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Soft-, hardware choice </li></ul></ul><ul><li>By collaboration and partnership with other organizational parties, but also externally </li></ul><ul><li>Collaborative libraries </li></ul>
