Scholars Portage: getting research from one body to another

Members

  • Mita Williams, University of Windsor
  • Stacy Allison-Cassin, York

Purpose

Scholars Portage is a sub-committee of the Scholars Portal Public Services Advisory Group. It does collaborative work between OCUL librarians in pursuit of incorporating more 'social' means of sharing and organizing information within OCUL's Scholars Portal and the larger academic community.

Activities

  • Brainstormed with Scholars Portal office about possibilities for the new Scholars Portal server (see attachment)
  • Wrote Scholr 2.0: a white paper by Scholars Portage and published it online in August 2007 for general comment. To download a PDF version of this report, click here

Potential and Future Activities

  • May develop a user survey or make use of a user panel to determine what are the "social information" needs of OCUL researchers 
  • Will be speaking on our experiences at OLA's 2008 Superconference.
