Institutional repositories (IRs) remain a powerful tool for opening, sharing, and preserving scholarship. Scholarly communication (SC) services and resources are essential to promoting and supporting IRs. Linking SC services within an IR offers support to users at their point of need. This study investigates the prevalence of web linking between…

This case study examines the use of electronic resources in academic institutions and the difficulties in forecasting their usage. By employing time series analysis-based models, the study forecasts the utilization of e-resources from 2012 to 2021. It concludes that both Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Error, Trend, Seasonal…

This research presents an exploratory and descriptive study on the use of knowledge organization processes and systems in the context of repositories, published in journals indexed in databases between 2015 and 2020. The authors of these papers do not necessarily publish in specific events and journals in the Knowledge Organization area, but…

This study examines cybersecurity awareness in universities by analyzing related research output across different disciplines at the University of Johannesburg. The diffusion of innovation theory is used in this study as a theoretical framework to explain how cybersecurity awareness diffuses across disciplines. The University of Johannesburg…

The Purdue Repository for Online Teaching and Learning (PoRTAL) was developed as an Open Educational Resource (OER) for graduate students and faculty in higher education settings to enhance their online teaching skills and strategies. The PoRTAL team used a design-based research approach (DBR; Wang & Hannafin, "Educational Technology…

While the idea of lifelong education in Spain is much older, the history of the concept begins in the 1960s. As digital libraries are becoming a source of new data for researchers, the aim of this study is to examine the history of the terms related to lifelong education and learning in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries by using data…

Purpose: This research work aims to study the continuous usage intention of students for digital library systems in higher learning institutions (HLI). Additionally, keeping in mind the lack of focus on academic involvement of students in existing studies, this research work attempts to examine the moderating role of academic involvement in making…

This study examines the correlational relationships between local journal authorship, local and external citation counts, full-text downloads, link-resolver clicks, and four global journal impact factor indices within an all-disciplines journal collection of 12,200 titles and six subject subsets at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign…

Clinical simulation is recognised as an authentic approach that relies on practice through simulations of real situations. The development of scenarios for evidence-based simulations is an important stage in planning simulations. Yet, in teacher education there is a paucity of research on the subject of simulation scenarios. The goal of the…

It is difficult for libraries to keep track of resource accessibility when libraries often subscribe to thousands of resources. One means for recording a resource's accessibility is the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). Completed by the product vendor, a VPAT documents whether the resource does or does not support accessibility over…

Journal coverage is an important factor to consider when evaluating a database. In this study, we counted the number of articles (including early access articles) in newly-launched journals (2018-2022) from two major association publishers in engineering and computer science: the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the…
