Anna Drabble Head of Digital & Product Development, Emerald.
This paper presents the findings of new research conducted by Emerald and UCL and other partners.
Summary
The research was based on
* 2,414 researchers
* 215 countries
* Arts and Humanities, STM, Social Sciences Inc. Business
Research partners
* Emerald & UCL
Contributors & Groups
* Charleston Conference
* Cambridge University Press
* Taylor & Francis
* Wolters Kluwer
* Imperial College, London
* Manchester University
* Edinburgh University
Findings
* Most highly used social media are organisational told such as collaborative authoring, conferencing and scheduling
* Slide 6 in most categories there is a wide gap between knowledge of a tool and its actual use in the research process.. In terms of twitter over 60% are aware but less than 8% use in research. Social tagging use is less than 8%, more than 50% do not know what it is. Social networking over 60% aware but only 21 % use.
* Slide 9 - the perceived benefits of web 2.0 include international communication, faster dissemination of research
* No difference in use of social media by different age group slide 10
* Slide 11 may explain low use of web 2.0 as it asks what tools researchers regard as the most important in disseminating research. Academic journals are still ranked top with twitter ranked lowest.
* Slide 13 - what do researchers want from libraries? To be more like Google was the answer with full text and bookmarking. It seemed to me the emphasis was on a narrow definition of what libraries do with the focus upon changes to the catalogue rather than other roles such as research help which we are also involved in. Perhaps this is an area we should all address as the slides conclude with the statements that in focus groups of over 4 hours discussing web 2.0 libraries / librarians were not mentioned once!
