  9. Open Archives Initiative & metadata sharing • OAI (http://www.openarchives.org/) • Protocol for Metadata Harvesting • JSTOR working on “metadata harvester” • Sample implementation: PubMed Central • http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/about/oai.html • Metadata sharing • Giving metadata to Google • Example - CrossRef project: Incorporates Google's search technology with CrossRef's index-linking digital object identifiers, allowing users to search across nine key websites, including Blackwell, Nature, Wiley InterScience, IoPP and the Oxford University Press (http://www.vnunet.com/News/1155154) • Sharing metadata between projects/initiatives

  10. Changing scholarly publishing environment • Open Access “author-pays” model • Transfer of cost from library budget to departmental budget – will faculty pay out of their budget? • Is this model sustainable over time?

  11. Economic pressures • State budget reductions hitting some institutions (like the University of Michigan) very hard • Multiple electronic journal copies across departments – which department/library loses what?

  12. Rising user expectations • Search • “Be like Google” • Metasearch • How do librarians determine the quality of metasearch products? • Content • Functionality • Authentication • Want single-sign on for all university electronic resources

  13. Thoughts?

  14. Conclusion Final Questions? Thank you very much for the opportunity to spend time with you these past two days! Stephanie Krueger stephkru@jstor.org
