LITBIO• to organize an Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Bioinformatics Technologies
(LITBIO), applied to Genomics and Proteomics. This infrastructure will be capable of challenging international research and development programmes for the development of new analysis strategies of biomedical and biotechnological data.
• to create a novel, indicative knowledge by linking genomic, proteomic and transcription data to larger-scale models, providing insight into the molecular basis of life.
• to realize a specific platform for the analysis of the enormous quantity of data obtained from genomic studies and scientific publications. This platform will allow new methodologies based on Data Mining for searching scientific information in on-line literature in biomedical and biotechnological documentation. In connection with the developed databases by the laboratory, the CILEA will release to all the research units the CDL services (CILEA Digital Library) in particular Medline, Protein Data Bank, ISI Web of Knowledge, Elsevier, American Chemical Society,Nature, Springer, Wiley, OUP,etc

Efficiency & effictiveness
Evaluation of “efficiency”, as ability to correctly use the available resources, can be done through the measure of the use of the resources addressed to achive the targets.
A service can be considered “efficient” if allows to minimize the investements.
“effictiveness” can be evaluated measuring the value of the obtained results and the objectives set before
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 67
New indicators
New indicators are addressed to:
Improve efficiency of services based on electronic resources
Measure the costs related to a contract
The availability of these indicators can be used for management purposes for evaluating and taking decisions in a contract management
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 68
Aims of indicators
Evaluation of the overall efficiency of the service (consortium)
Need of better efforts in promotion of services (consortium)
Formulation and planning of budget (institutions)
Management of the resources (keeping, cancelling, activating new resources,..)
Opening of a subscription and monitoring of the same in a given time frame

From the costs/usage analysis we are able to get:
a significant indicator of the balance level between:
Investment quotes of each single subscribing institution Access rates performed by the same institutions
“access” = full text download of an article
costs/ usage analysis
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 70
costs/ usage analysis
The costs/usage analysis is obtained measuring for each subscribin institution:
Investment rate: fee paid over the total of the consortium total fee Access rate : number of downloads over the total consortium
accesses
Index= ratio between access rate and investment rate
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 71
Balance point
• If index = 1 there is a balance between access and investment
• If index < 1 investment rate exceeds the access rate
• If index > 1 access rate exceeds the investment rate

DIGITAL PRESERVATION
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 82
Digital documents are replacing paper in the most dramatic record-keepingrevolution since the invention of printing.
Is the current generation of these documents doomed to be lost forever?
Ref.
“Ensuring the Longevity of Digital Documents”Scientific American (Vol. 272, Number 1, pp. 42-7).
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 83
The year is 2045, and my grandchildren (as yet unborn) are exploring the attic of my house (as yet unbought).
They find a letter dated 1995 and a CD-ROM (compact disk).
The letter claims that the disk contains a document that provides the keyto obtaining my fortune (as yet unearned).
My grandchildren are understandably excited,but they have never seen a CD before—except in old movies—and even if they can somehow find a suitable disk drive,how will they run the software necessary to interpret the information on the disk?
How can they read my obsolete digital document?
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 84
This scenario questions the future of our computer-based digital documents,which are rapidly replacing their paper counterparts.
It is widely accepted that information technology isrevolutionizing our concepts of documents and records in an upheaval at leastas great as the introduction of printing, if not of writing itself.
The current generation of digital records therefore has unique historical significance; yet our digital documents are far more fragile than paper.
In fact, the record of the entire present period of history is in jeopardy.
The content and historical value of many governmental, organizational, legal,financial, and technical records, scientific databases,and personal documents may be irretrievably lost to future generations
if we do not take steps to preserve them.
Bibliosan July 5th 2005

JOURNAL ARCHIVING IN THE PAPER ERA
• Large-scale redundancy• Access copy and archival copy usually the same• Not just storage, but preservation
– includes environmental control, library binding, repair, reformatting. . .
• Long term archiving largely the role of national and research libraries
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 86
E-JOURNAL MODEL
• “Copies” are remote, held in publisher systems– not replicated across different institutions
• Perpetual license provides limited comfort in the absence of independent copies
• Long-term preservation involves very different issues than day-to-day access
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 87
THE BIG ISSUE IN DIGITAL LIBRARIES
• Digital is inherently fragile– constant technological change yields short life for all digital
materials• Nothing will be saved passively
– requires constant and conscious action to preserve
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 88
SOME BASIC ASSUMPTIONS
• Archive should be independent of publishers– responsibility of institutions for whom archiving is a core mission
• Archiving requires active publisher partnership• Address long timeframes (100 years?)• Keep unaltered for future “digital archeology”
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 89
OBJECTIVES FOR PLANNING PROJECTS
• Develop draft archiving agreements with publisher partners• Design technical architecture for an archive• Formulate an acquisitions and growth plan• Articulate access policies• Address validation/certification• Design an organizational model, staffing, long-term funding model
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 90
INFRASTRUCTURE
• Use existing infrastructure for storage, management, preservation, access
Bibliosan July 5th 2005
G. Meloni CILEA 91
ARCHIVING AGREEMENT
• Explicit archiving license with publisher• License addresses what content is archived, responsibilities of
parties, conditions of use, economics• Not always an easy negotiation
– archiving involves handing publisher’s intellectual property to independent party
• Do not compete with publishers
• Publishers will “push” content to be archived • On-going regular deposit following on-line publication of issue
• (what happens when issues disappear?)
