Highlights
‘Google Wants Your Links, Not Your Content’ is the title of a recent posting to the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) blog which draws our attention beyond the content to the use of that content.[1]
User information-seeking behaviour data has largely been overlooked for enhancing library services, but steps are being taken in this direction, such as the development of recommender services and new metrics for scholarly evaluation
BibTip and bX are good examples of harnessing collective intelligence from library users to serve the needs of the library
Summary
Sitting on a gold mine ‘Google Wants Your Links, Not Your Content’ is the title of a recent posting to the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) blog which draws our attention beyond the content to the use of that content.[1]. Users indicate their preferences and selections as they navigate between sets of resources and this valuable data – user ‘clickstreams’ – can be collected and analysed. LibraryThing and BibTip record access to the ‘catalog’ and recommendations are offered at the title level, typically the book. bX can potentially record access to the whole library collection, including remotelyhosted resources; recommendations are typically offered at the article level
