Title

Testing a digital library : user response to the CORE Project

Abstract

The Chemistry Online Retrieval Experiment (CORE), a 5 year research and development project, was one of the earliest attempts to make a substantial volume of the text and graphics from previously published scholarly periodicals available to end users in electronic form, across a computer network. Since the CORE Project dealt with materials that had already gone through traditional print publication, its emphasis was on the process and limitations of conversion and the use of the converted contents for readers. Reports results of a survey of users of the CORE system, initially at Cornell University, Chemistry Department and later throughout the campus. User data was collected using: detailed transaction logs, online questionnaires, online comments, interviews, and anecdotes. Typically, usage was found to be top heavy, with the top 35% of users accounting for 80% of usage and the top 20% of users accounting for 64,8% of total system use. Presents further results of the study in terms of: article viewing, printing, reading habits, searching, conversion issues, and article consumption issues
