Ammy Vogtlander Finding Scholarly Content in the Age of Web Search
The emergence of the Internet and Web Search have dramatically
changed the environment in which researchers and students operate. Companies,
institutes, organisations and individuals alike put in immense
efforts to make their information available online, often for different reasons.
As a result, the number of information sources has exploded. With
searching overtaking browsing as a means to access information, it becomes
increasingly important to ensure credible and unbiased scholarly
content remains visible and easily distinguishable. For publishers, being
found and recognised as a trustworthy source is as important, if not more
important, as being online. How can we ensure students, professionals and
scientists will continue to find the information that is appropriate for their
work or research? What role do the different parties (librarians, publishers
and search engines) play now and in the future? This presentation
explores these complex questions.
