Innovation Capacity * Innovation Capacity Rank: Defined as "the degree to which a nation offers a favorable environment at the world technology frontier." The rankings are derived from the following metrics: U.S patents per million people; proportion of scientists and engineers; innovation policy; number and size of technology hot spots and other institutions; GDP per capita; business competitiveness; sophistication of marketing; and correspondence between pay and productivity. (Technology Review, May 2004) GDP per Capita source – CIA World Factbook (2006) **Source: National Science Board’s Science & Engineering Indicators - 2002
Something new in Brazil • IEEE volunteer officers want to discuss local technology issues within the country • Opportunity for a dialogue between researchers and libraries • Helping library resources be understood and used
A collaborative effort among scholarly societies • Beta of free federated “vertical” search portal to digital libraries of 15 leading worldwide science and technology societies • Open to the general public, but designed for researchers • Focused on the fields of technology, including engineering, physics, mathematics and computer science
Acoustical Society of America American Geophysical Union (AGU) American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) American Institute of Physics (AIP) American Physical Society (APS) American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Who is collaborating?15 leading sci-tech societies --a cross-section of scholarship • American Vaccuum Society (AVS) • Electro Chemical Society (ECS) • IEEE • Institute of Physics Publishing (IOP) • Optical Society of America (OSA) • Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) • Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) • SPIE And more to come…..
Targeted, Authoritative Content • More than 3 million peer-reviewed articles and conference proceedings The content most often cited in patents and scholarly works • 50 million worldwide patents • USPTO • Japan Patent Office • European Patent Office • Full text available via publisher’s digital products; no new subscriptions to purchase
Consortia models differ….we need to be creative • Traditional model • 1 payment source, 1 renewal date, 1 invoice • Open consortia • Multiple payment sources, begin small and add on with discount • Multiple year agreements • Helps universities go from $0 to $X over time • INASP PERI – serving several countries in Africa • Something new…… • Private corporation funding
