The International Nuclear Library Network (INLN): Doing more with less! Thanos Giannakopoulos
International Nuclear Library Network (INLN) • A global nuclear information and knowledge management initiative aiming to strengthen international cooperation in nuclear information resource sharing • Working towards leveraging technology and information flows to deliver point-of-need access to information services for nuclear researchers.
International Nuclear Library Network INLN objectives Promote international cooperation 1 Operate in an environment of data-intensive science Strive for low-cost, high-benefit solutions, promote open access policies 7 2 INLN Focus on resource sharing and best practises for nuclear information management 3 6 Point-of-need access to services 4 5 Cater for comprehensive content sources Contribute to global nuclear knowledge management

International Nuclear Library Network (INLN) (nuclear) Library actions Challenges to digital scholarship • Comparative and interdisciplinary nature of research – increasingly difficult to delimit the focus on nuclear topics from broader global themes (IAEA publications attest to this) • Big data • Rising need for evaluated and credible sources - difference between scientific activity (“good enough”) to scientific achievement (“exploratory research”) • Point-of-need access to content • Comprehensive content, semantic web • User services (data curation, new research infrastructures) • User services (online or in person training, information analysis, new library spaces) • Information services rebuilt around user work-flows (sophisticated linking technologies, interconnectedness of web-scale library systems, discoverability) THEN: Resources were scarce and time was abundant NOW: Resources are abundant and time is scarce
