[Oa-italia] ETD Survey Report

[Andrea Marchitelli]

Buongiorno,
segnalo un post comparso qualche giorno fa su DigitalKoans, il blog di 
Charles Bayley jr.

Il Council of Australian University Librarians ha pubblicato un report 
su un'indagine svolta negli scorsi mesi tra i suoi associati: 
Australasian Digital Theses Program: Membership Survey 2006.

Dall'indagine emergono alcuni interessanti elementi che Bayley sottolinea:
    1. The average percentage of records for digital theses added to ADT 
is 95% when digital submission is mandatory and 17% when it is not 
mandatory. . . .

    2. 59% of respondents will have mandatory digital submission in 
place in 2007.

    3. With this level of mandatory submission it is predicted that 60% 
of all theses produced in Australia and New Zealand in 2007 will have a 
digital copy recorded in ADT. . . .

    5. The overwhelming majority of respondents offer a mediated 
submission service, either only having a mediated service or offering 
both mediated and self-submission services. When mediated and 
self-submission are both available, the percentage self-submitted is 
polarised with some achieving over a 75% self-submission rate.

    6. Over half the respondents have a repository already and most are 
using it to manage digital theses.

    7. 87% will have a repository by the end of this year, and the rest 
are in the initial planning stage.

Sarebbe interessante avere dati della stessa natura sugli atenei italiani.
Siete a conoscenza di indagini analoghe?
