  1. From a supply-side to a user-driven on-line information environment: Feedback on the development of information portals for researchers at INIST

  2. 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

  3. 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...

  4. History - 2 • Second phase • Reach subject-based/organisational communities • One unified model (save maintenance and update time)e.g.: BiblioVie,BiblioSHS,  etc.

  5. History - 3 • Third phase • Research librarians in networkse.g.: BiblioST2I, BiblioPlanets • Adjusting pre-built portals • Being experimental

  6. 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

  7. What for? • Address • Needs of research libraries "on the field" • Researchers' needs

  8. A first response: a slight mix of generic with personal? • See everything and just keep what you need and are entitled to • Bookmarking tool • Derived from supplied catalogues, local resources • Ability to add one's "own" resources • Ability to organise, classify

  9. Demo • http://bibliocnrs.inist.fr and • its personalisable bookmark

  10. And next? • Improve  current bookmarking tool • Tagging as a major feature (mixed approach: controlled + free tags?)

  11. Further assumptions • Other features ? • Team/project-level workflow (diaries, tasks, document sharing, etc.) • Articles writing and publishing tools • Feed aggregation • DB search interface • Web search engines • Archiving, assessment submissions • Practical tools: route planning, weather forecasts, hotel reservations, in-house directories, in-house press surveys, internal newsletters, etc. • Researcher questionnaire and interviews

  12. Our current questioning • Are portals the only solution? • What are their substitutes going to be? • « How about your portal and our DWE?"

  13. And web 2.0 in the picture? • Interest for personal start pages (eg. Netvibes, iGoogle, MyYahoo, Webwag, etc.) • Widgets
