NEEO 16 European academic research libraries
setting-up a subject-oriented portal
What is NEEO ?
Spire, l’archive ouverte de Sciences Po
European Commission funded project eContentplus, DG Information Society and Media Finance : € 2 M Duration : 30 months : Sept. 2007 to March 2010
Key objectives : to improve the visibility of economics research
by providing Open Access to the academic output of leading economics institutions through a multilingual portal – Economists Online and a technical architecture enabling new services
Who is NEEO ?
Spire, l’archive ouverte de Sciences Po
16 EU-funded partners, including LSE, Universities of Oxford, Warwick, Tilburg, Kiel, Toulouse, Dauphine, Sciences Po, ULB, UCL, … + 5 new partners: EUI (Florence, It.), the universities of Constance, Louvain, Geneva and Columbia University (USA)Background : NEREUS consortium since 2003, with 23 academic institutions and their libraries with strengths in economics NEEO is a libraries’ initiative. Human resources involved: In each library, about 3 or 4 library and IT staff involved in the project
Quantity and quality : keywords for the content

Over 2 300 economists at NEEO institutions in 2007 900 authors participating Objectives : 50 000 metadata records, 15 000 FT recordsBoth historical and current content Academic output : articles, books, chapters, conference proceedings, reports, PhD thesis, working papers RePEc content also available in EO

8 Workpackages
WP1: Project Management is responsible for the efficient and successful execution of the project : planning, controlling, product delivery, reporting and communication structures. This work package is led by Vanessa Proudman, NEEO Project Manager (TU).
WP2: User Requirements is responsible for identifying the needs of the end users (LSE)
NEEO Organisation

WP3: Content – Traditional publications : coordinating and monitoring the local aggregation of high-quality content-enriched academic output amongst all partner institutions. A sub-workpackage will be dedicated to IPR issues (TU).
WP4: Content – Datasets : making primary research data, on which publications aggregated in WP3 are based, publicly available (TU).

WP5: Interoperability infrastructure and Gateway : creation of an interoperable infrastructure to allow the smooth aggregation of dispersed information concentrating on setting common guidelines and standards (ULB).
WP6: Multilingual issues is responsible for increasing access to economics content to the European community and four of its languages (EN, FR, DE and ES) KU Leuwen

WP7: Awareness and Dissemination : Advocacy activities relating to the dissemination of content from the project to further national and international information service providers (UCL)
WP8: Assessment and Evaluation : monitoring the visibility, access and re-use of material and carrying out a user evaluation of the project’s services and content (LSE)
Managing together main OA and technical issues
Spire, l’archive ouverte de Sciences Po
Workshops, knowledge exchange, supportive outputs such as reports and FAQs on IPR issues Advocacy support User requirement studies Assistance with adopting technical requirements defined by WP5 (sharing developments made on DSpace, adapting CERGE IR with Tilburg technical staff, etc.)Long-term preservation (agreement with KB)
EO portal : technical aspects, new services
Spire, l’archive ouverte de Sciences Po
OAI-PMH exchange of DIDL-MODS formatted metadata OAI-PMH exchange of usage metadata Full-text searching Automated publication lists per author Automated enrichment of metadata Integration with RePEc : push and pull Multilingual searching

Datasets:
Access to the primary research datasets (and supplementary materials) that underpin economics publicationsExploring the issues that hinder OA availability of research data, e.g. privacy, IPR, DB rightsOne of the only concerted European efforts in the social sciences that systematically links primary research datasets to publications
EO portal Datasets
Spire, l’archive ouverte de Sciences Po
Pilot with 10 datasets per partner Using DDI standard and DataverseNEEO accredits all contributors to the data life cycle, that is, dataset owners, data sources, data providers/distributors (capturing data provenance info) Case study for researchersSpin-offs
Emergence of institutional departmental policies for archiving, sharing and improving access to research dataIntroduces the development of new skills and professions for the library community: The Data Librarian
EO portal Datasets :
NEEO Dataverse hosted by DVN of IQSS
3 tools studied by NEEO : Nesstar, Fedora, Dataverse Network NEEO choice : using the Dataverse Network of IQSS (Institute for Quantitative Social Sciences, Harvard University) NEEO dataverse : http://dvn.iq.harvard.edu/dvn/ Each partner can choose to store its data on another platform which can be harvested in NEEO DVN It is what Sciences po choosed to do because NESSTAR is already implemented in CDSP lab.

NEEO has provided the opportunity to set up IR in many cases and given an new impulse to local initiatives where IR already existedSciences Po’s case: A DSPACE at first (SPIRE1) given up for a new tool conceived and set up by librarians, scientists and IT staff
BENEFITS
Spire, l’archive ouverte de Sciences Po
Taking part in a European project improved the visibility and credibility of the library’s activity in its environmentAn opportunty to develop new skills to manage a European project A wonderful opportunity to work together with European partners and to exchange information and good practices with librarians & IT staffA new opportunity to work with researchersAn opportunity to increase advocacy for Open Access and to discuss the stakes for Scientific communication with researchers
A model for other subject repositories?
• A strong consortium of institutions with a member base
• With high-level support from the subject community• Where the institution’s rank and quality content is
key• Making concrete efforts to provide new content OA• Showcasing and disseminating work worldwide• A central portal, where added value services are
developed and tested collaboratively• Knowledge exchange activities increase efficiency
and inspire• A sustainable model that can be built upon in the
future
