Web 2.0, library 2.0, librarian 2.0, innovative services for sustainable car...Cheryl Peltier-Davis
Abstract
Caribbean libraries are being challenged to adapt to changes in the external environment. Challenges in the form of budget cuts and shrinking resources, retraining staff and reorganizing workflows, delivering traditional and innovative services to an Internet -savvy consumer, and competition from aggressive rival information services such as Google. As a result of these and other challenges in this increasingly complex and virtual environment, library administrators have been coerced into becoming more creative in their attempt to provide new and improved facilities, products and services. This paper analyses the linkages between Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and Librarian 2.0 and discusses the benefits of developing library services centered on the Web 2.0 model. The paper identifies specific Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, wikis, social networks, folksonomies (tagging and tag clouds), RSS feeds, podcasts, instant messaging and mashups and suggests ways Caribbean libraries can harness and integrate these technologies to provide innovative and sustainable library services. The paper also provides a comprehensive resource list of these emerging technologies which are available free on the Internet.
The document discusses various Web 2.0 technologies and concepts and how libraries are using them. It provides examples of libraries using blogs, RSS feeds, tagging, wikis, social networking, social bookmarking and more to engage with users and provide services. It also discusses challenges and opportunities that Web 2.0 presents for libraries.

Altmetrics and research profiles for 10 universities in FinlandKim Holmberg
Universities’ research profiles, as measured by the attention received from different altmetric events by OECD main categories, were compared with the universities research profiles based on their research outputs, as measured by Web of Science classification of the fields of publications.
Measuring the societal impact of open scienceKim Holmberg
This document summarizes preliminary results from an analysis of how almost 4 million altmetric events are distributed between articles published in open access journals and articles published in other paid journals. The results show that open access articles receive more Twitter mentions and Facebook shares on average, while paid articles receive more Mendeley reads and Wikipedia citations on average. The findings suggest that altmetrics from Twitter and Facebook may better reflect attention from a wider public, while Mendeley is more focused on researchers, and Wikipedia citations come more from researchers with paid access.
Drivers of higher education institutions’ visibility: a study of UK HEIs soci...Kim Holmberg
Social media is increasingly used in higher education settings by researchers, students and institutions. Whether it is researchers conversing with other researchers, or universities seeking to communicate to a wider audience, social media platforms serve as a tools for users to communicate and increase visibility. Scholarly communication in social media and investigations about social media metrics is of increasing interest for scientometric researchers, and to the emergence of altmetrics. Less understood is the role of organizational characteristics in garnering social media visibility, through for instance liking and following mechanisms. In this study we aim to contribute to the understanding of the effect of specific social media use by investigating higher education institutions’ presence on Twitter. We investigate the possible connections between followers on Twitter and the use of Twitter and the organizational characteristics of the HEIs. We find that HEIs’ social media visibility on Twitter are only partly explained by social media use and that organizational characteristics also play a role in garnering these followers. Although, there is an advantage in garnering followers for those first adopters of Twitter. These findings emphasize the importance of considering a range of factors to understand impact online for organizations and HEIs in particular.

Results from a study about differences in the use of hashtags and mentioning of other usernames in tweets about climate change from male and female tweeters. Presentation at the #WebSci14 conference.
The impact of retweeting on altmetricsKim Holmberg
This pilot study analyzed the impact of retweeting on the frequency of scientific articles from Nature, Science, and PLoS ONE being mentioned on Twitter. When including versus excluding retweets, the top 10 most frequently tweeted articles from Nature and PLoS ONE showed high correlation in frequency rankings. For Science the correlation was lower, indicating retweets may impact frequency rankings more for that journal. The results were only for these specific journals so a larger study across more journals is needed to better understand the potential impact of retweeting on altmetrics.
This document presents a research proposal for identifying rumors on Twitter. It first defines rumors as unverified information statements circulating in contexts of ambiguity or threat that help people make sense of situations and manage risk. The proposal then discusses identifying rumors based on their context, function, and content. It suggests detecting sudden increases in word frequencies and mapping word connections to identify rumor-related terms. A rumor annotation scheme is proposed that considers context, function, content and ambiguity levels. Tweets would be categorized as speculation, controversy, misinformation or disinformation using chosen measures. The goal is to better understand rumor spreading online and provide context to interpretations.

The conceptual landscape of iSchools: Examining current research interests of...Kim Holmberg
Introduction
This study describes the intellectual landscape of iSchools and examines how the various iSchools map onto these research areas.
Method
The primary focus of the data collection process was on faculty members’ current research interests as described by the individuals themselves. A co-word analysis of all iSchool faculty members’ research interests was used as a research method. The relations between the current research profiles of the iSchools were compared by calculating the cosine similarity between co-word profiles and visualized in network graphs.
Results
The results show that the iSchools still contain many dominant themes from LIS, but have an expanded conceptual landscape with the introduction of new iSchools. The methods used for data collection guaranteed the most current data available (in contrast to using publications) and the methods used for analyses gave multiple perspectives to the research landscape of the iSchools.
Conclusions
The results of the present study showed how the current research landscape of the iSchools and the shared research interests were built by many topics that still reflect dominant LIS topics (e.g., bibliometrics, information retrieval, and information seeking behaviour), but that there are also growing areas that reflect the iSchools’ interdisciplinary composition, thus answering the research questions.
Disciplinary Differences in Twitter Scholarly CommunicationKim Holmberg
This paper investigates disciplinary differences in how researchers use the microblogging site Twitter. Tweets from researchers in five disciplines (astrophysics, biochemistry, digital humanities, economics, and history of science) were collected and analyzed both statistically and qualitatively. The results suggest that researchers tend to share more links and retweet more than the average Twitter users in earlier research. The results also suggest that there are clear disciplinary differences in how researchers use Twitter. Biochemists retweet substantially more than researchers in the other disciplines. Researchers in digital humanities use Twitter more for conversations, while researchers in economics share more links than other researchers. The results also suggest that researchers in biochemistry, astrophysics and digital humanities are using Twitter for scholarly communication, while scientific use of Twitter in economics and history of science is marginal.
This document discusses information strategies and how information management can support business activities. It begins by defining data, information, knowledge, and the differences between explicit and tacit knowledge. It then outlines the landscape of business information, including information a company acquires, possesses, delivers, and can control. Finally, it discusses how an information strategy can help a company use information as a source of competitive advantage and support business activities like information seeking, data warehousing, and communication.
