From a supply-side to a user-driven on-line information

environment: Feedback on the development of information portals

for researchers at INIST

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 20072

Portals

Documentation centre for CNRS labs and "units"

Document holdings and bibliographic collection

Document delivery, ILL and bibliographic DBs

Handle subscriptions

Aggregate access to library catalogues and bibliographic DBs, with derivative services in a one-stop information resource on the web

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 20073

History - 1

First phase

Access to limited resources

Broad spectrum

Our first portal included several features and was some sort of a demonstrator of what  we could  bundle together if demand met supply...

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 20074

History - 2

Second phase

Reach subject-based/organisational communities

One unified model (save maintenance and update time)e.g.: BiblioVie, BiblioSHS,  etc.

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 20075

History - 3

Third phase

Research librarians in networkse.g.: BiblioST2I, BiblioPlanets

Adjusting pre-built portals

Being experimental

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 20076

Personalisation: what is it?

Help users make use of  information resources the way they want?

Facilitate use of the resources when faced with overwhelming information

Improve selectivity

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 20077

What for?

Address

Needs of research libraries "on the field"

Researchers' needs

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 20078

A first response: a slight mix of generic with personal?

See everything and just keep what you need and are entitled toBookmarking tool

• Derived from supplied catalogues, local resources

• Ability to add one's "own" resources• Ability to organise, classify

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 20079

Demo

http://bibliocnrs.inist.fr and

its personalisable bookmark

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 200710

And next?

Improve  current bookmarking tool

Tagging as a major feature (mixed approach: controlled + free tags?)

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 200711

Further assumptions Other features ?

Team/project-level workflow (diaries, tasks, document sharing, etc.)Articles writing and publishing toolsFeed aggregationDB search interfaceWeb search enginesArchiving, assessment submissionsPractical tools: route planning, weather forecasts, hotel reservations, in-house directories, in-house press surveys, internal newsletters, etc.

Researcher questionnaire and interviews

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 200712

Our current questioning

Are portals the only solution?

What are their substitutes going to be?

« How about your portal and our DWE?"

J.-F. Nominé - ILI 2007 – London – Oct. 8, 200713

And web 2.0 in the picture?

Interest for personal start pages (eg. Netvibes, iGoogle, MyYahoo, Webwag, etc.)

Widgets
