The Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar: non-Western countries occurring in the byline versus country top level domain queries

BG. Information dissemination and diffusion.
LC. Internet, including WWW.
BB. Bibliometric methods
This investigation illustrates differences between data available in professional databases such as the Web of Knowledge and data that are freely available on the Internet via Google Scholar. Our findings seem to indicate that, in general non-Western countries are better represented in the Web of Science than in Google Scholar. Through our results we illustrate one aspect of the digital divide between Western countries and other ones, in particular developing countries.

Open Access Publishing: the emerging opportunity for wider dissemination of scholarly output
Dulle, FW
E. Publishing and legal issues.
The purpose of this paper is to create awareness on the part of researchers and the scholarly community at large regarding the new publishing opportunity for dissemination of their research findings. It highlight on limitations of the current business model of scholarly publishing in dissemination of scientific information as the main cause for the emergence of open access. The paper introduces open access: a means of free availability of scholarly content on the Internet, permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the Internet itself. Open access journals and self-arching as the two main approaches of open access publishing are highlighted. Compares adoption of open access between developed and developing countries. The paper further presents preliminary findings on the awareness, usage as well as researchers’ general perspectives about open access scholarly communication in Tanzanian public universities. The overall results of the study indicate that many researchers use open access to access scholarly content and generally support the new mode of scholarly communication.

The 5-year synchronous impact factor for large Journal Citation Reports (JCR) subject areas
The STIMULATE 9, Group
BB. Bibliometric methods
Using the largest JCR Thomson Reuters subject areas it is shown that the two-year and the five-year impact factor of journals lead statistically to the same ranking per category. This observation holds for top journals as well as lower level journals. Yet in a majority of cases the 5-year impact factor is larger than the 2-year one. A special case was observed in which one article influenced macro statistics of a whole journal subject category.

Social media and professional networking: a case of information professionals in the SCECSAL region
Chisenga, Justin
Chande-Mallya, Rehema
GZ. None of these, but in this section.
The purpose of the study was to establish the extent to which library and information professionals in the Standing Conference of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa Library and Information Associations (SCECSAL) region are using social media applications for professional networking. The findings show that although the professionals are adopting social media applications, its use is more for social networking than professional networking purposes. Among those using the applications for professional networking, Social Networking Services (i.e. Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and MySpace) are their first choice applications; with Facebook being the most popular. They study also revealed that most of the professionals had taught themselves how to use social media. The major challenge faced in the use of social media was the lack of time in the effective use of the applications. The paper recommends that to enhance the use of social media for professional networking, social media must be integrated into individual networking activities and that library and information professionals and associations in the region should embrace social media applications.
