“…Aside from lack of knowledge, nurses also lament on the access fee resulting to the underutilization of ETDs to their community. These circumstances altogether, further deprive scholars from developing countries from accessing these materials openly [4]. In this connection, a survey may be needed to prove that only a few well-known universities are capable of providing this service to their institutions.…”

“…In the survey of 266 ETD repositories conducted by Ref. [4], majority utilized the OAI-PMH despite the more competitive capability of the OAI-ORE. A comparative analysis of the protocols are recommended in the said study to evaluate the key characteristics, sustainability of standard, level of dependency on different platforms and their deposit methods. Finally, controlled vocabularies were compared with author-assigned keywords for use in online catalogs and databases and made available in the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH).…”

“…Aimed towards facilitating the research conduct and enhancing the productivity of scholars, ETD perspectives have expanded towards interoperability [12], open access [8] and global visibility. Likewise, the following information systems were consistently associated with ETD: institutional repository [13], digital library [2], [10], [4], research management system and knowledge management system. Several issues however thwarted the attainment of the said objectives.…”

Abstract-Fast, worldwide interest spurred countries and organizations of the impact of theses and dissertations in electronic format; hence, the conception ETD. Regarded valuably in the research arena for data management, ETD mushroomed swiftly in developed countries. Compared to developing countries, isolated initiatives exist in few scholarly writings demonstrating some successful attempts while some projects are in its infancy stage if not chaotic. Aside from the concerns on intellectual property rights, findings in this review demonstrated the problems that emerged as consequences of the integration and collaboration of ETD projects that were designed and developed individually. This literature review aimed to show the emerging global concepts that could be used as benchmark for ETD initiatives to developing countries such as the Philippines.

This paper presents the first large-scale investigation of the users and uses of WorldCat.org, the world's largest bibliographic database and global union catalog. Using a mixed-methods approach involving focus group interviews with 120 participants, an online survey with 2,918 responses, and an analysis of transaction logs of approximately 15 million sessions from WorldCat.org, the study provides a new understanding of the context for global union catalog use. We find that WorldCat.org is accessed by a diverse population, with the three primary user groups being librarians, students, and academics. Use of the system is found to fall within three broad types of work-task (professional, academic, and leisure), and we also present an emergent taxonomy of search tasks that encompass known-item, unknownitem, and institutional information searches. Our results support the notion that union catalogs are primarily used for known-item searches, although the volume of traffic to WorldCat.org means that unknown-item searches nonetheless represent an estimated 250,000 sessions per month. Search engine referrals account for almost half of all traffic, but although WorldCat.org effectively connects users referred from institutional library catalogs to other libraries holding a sought item, users arriving from a search engine are less likely to connect to a library.

The Impact of Open Development Initiatives in Lower‐ and Middle Income Countries: A Review of the Literature

The purpose of this paper is to explore the field of open development in lower and middle income countries (LMIC) through a review of the literature. We examined 269 articles between 2010 and 2015, that were retrieved through keyword searches of the Scopus database and four ICT4D journals. This article adopts the pathway of effects model to analyze contributions according to inputs, mechanisms and outputs of open initiatives in LMICs. The review finds a fairly even spread of articles across the three stages of effects. Studies that disentangled reasons why or why not openness makes a difference provided the most insight to underlying mechanisms and impact of open initiatives. We found very little evidence that research within this area is concerned with the perspectives of poor and marginalized people – notably women. We therefore question the normative value of open development as a means to transform power relations. However, we argue that a more concentrated vision within this field is needed to exploit the full potential of digitally enabled openness for development.
