**An important partnership continues - Working to Support National Laboratory Libraries in 2008**

## NEW for YOU		www.osti.gov/tools

- Launched June 08			Feedback welcomed...

## Breakthrough:  Downloadable MARC records

- OSTI is offering downloadable MARC records for over 170,000 full-text reports in the Information Bridge
- Records:
- will include full-text
- may be downloaded by year of publication, subject category or OSTI ID
- are primarily 1991 forward

## Slide 5

## Breakthrough:  DOE Data Explorer

- Launched June 6, 2008
- Currently identifies 242 collections of DOE non-text data
- Types of non-text data identified by DDE are:
- Numeric data
- Figures (graphic) and data plots
- Interactive data maps
- Computer models and simulations
- Scientific images (static)
- Scientific multimedia (audio, video, animations)
- Specialized mix (primarily for genomic collections)

## DOE Data Explorer

- ‘Data owners’ an important component of process
- Well received:
*“**As a research librarian, my experience is that “data” can be the most highly useful information for scientists and other technical staff, and can also be the most difficult information to find.  Kudos to the DOE for providing yet another way to search and find potentially important information from government-funded research” ** *
*“**I just tried out the DOE Data Explorer and found out that it produces quite useful results.  Good job!”** *
* “**This is an exciting development.” *

## Useful Enhancements:
Spell Check when using Basic Search
Zotero plug-in integration when using FireFox
DOI display in citations, if available
Exact count of matches with search results

## Document Discussion 

**Document Discussion **

- Goal:  To provide substantive commentary for a general readership
- Users may perform a search and then begin a discussion or add to a discussion
- Authors of the documents will be notified so that they may view the discussion
- Email addresses are not shared
- Discussions are
- posted during business hours
- moderated for personal or offensive content
- not edited; but approved or rejected

## Science Research Connection (SRC)

**Science Research Connection (SRC)**

- Over 1,500 requests for digitized full-text in FY08
- Currently has 628 registered users
- Future enhancements include faster search and retrieval

## Provides a portal to more than 750,000 Federal research projects, complete with full-text single-query searching across databases residing at different agencies.
Currently searches DOE, EPA, NIH, NSF, SBA, USDA
DTIC and NASA to be added early CY09

- DTIC and NASA to be added early CY09

## On the International Front

- South Africa has sent letter of intent to join Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDE); however, UK plans to leave in Sept 09
- Usage of ETDEWEB database is going up:
- Records are now indexed for Google; users will be authenticated for seamless access
- ETDEWEB is now in WorldWideScience resource
- Sweden’s historic collection is digitized and now in ETDEWEB
- A topic of discussion at the upcoming INIS meeting is user needs in the nuclear area
- What areas related to nuclear seem to be of most interest?

## Federated Search Gateways

**Search key DOE databases**

**Search 200 million pages of science from 13 federal science agencies**

**Search 375 million pages of science from databases of every inhabited continent**

***Agency level***

***Interagency level***

***International level***

**Federated Search Gateways**

## Recent enhancements include:
Addition of DOepatents  and Energy Science and Technology Software Center (ESTSC) to the federated search

Capability to Refine Results (ability to search within a search)

Addition of a product-specific Comment form

Upcoming:  Clustering and addition of DOE Data Explorer to the federated search 

- Addition of *DOepatents*  and Energy Science and Technology Software Center (ESTSC) to the federated search
- Capability to Refine Results (ability to search within a search)
- Addition of a product-specific Comment form
- Upcoming:  Clustering and addition of DOE Data Explorer to the federated search

## Science.gov 5.0 Launched 9/15/08

- Searchable content has quadrupled (!)
- Clustering tool helps with targeting searches
- Links to related EurekAlert! Science News and Wikipedia add information
- Capability to download results into personal files or citation software now available

## Includes databases/sources from some countries/regions not traditionally well-covered   
Has shown tremendous growth from 10 databases and portals from 12 countries to NOW over 40 databases and portals from more than 50 countries.  
Includes clustering feature, which groups search results into similar topics, as well as specific date ranges
Machine translation tools to facilitate the addition of non-English sources are under review
Press release is planned this week, China to become latest member

## Digitization of DOE Report Collectionsbig numbers and new approach	

- Requests continue via SRC
- Approximately 15,000 digitized reports added recently, result of INIS collaboration
- ALSO – Digital Document Access efforts continue
- 6,000 Fermi digitized documents added this past year
- 8,500 pre-9/11, unlimited LANL reports now available
- Sites and OSTI continue to work together
- Plans to establish report option for sites’ newly digitized reports
- NOW – ‘Adopt-a-Doc’ concept

## Legislative Updatethe debate continues

- Currently, the NIH Public Access Policy ensures public has access to published results of NIH-funded research
- Requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts to PubMed Central
- Potential for this Policy to extend to other Federal Agencies  (open access potential and $$ savings)
- If required, DOE has infrastructure in place to implement through the Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP)
- This Policy is under attack; proposed legislation is the Fair Copyright in Research Works Act
- Would overturn the NIH policy and make it illegal for other U.S Federal agencies to enact similar policies

## New FrontiersYouTube and facebook

**YouTube**
- DOE has a growing presence on YouTube
- Seven known labs have PR and STI materials available
- OSTI videos will be available in upcoming months
- Federal agencies are working together

**facebook**
- Government agencies have a growing presence
- Two examples:
-   -NASA Glenn Technical Library
- 	-Department of State
- OSTI plans a Facebook page within the next month
