Librarians in developing countries sometimes have hard times adjusting to the technological, or any kind of innovation. Most of them are usually unable to go for innovation. On the other side, researchers are forced, and able to quickly adopt emerging tech trends. That challenge struck us during the establishing of KoBSON (Serbian Consortium for Coordinated Acquisition of Electronic Resources). We looked for a way to make direct communication with our end-users and inform them about all services that we provide.
What did we do?
Starting in 2005, we have implemented a new service which consisted of all articles published by Serbian authors and referred in Web of Science (WoS). We noticed that non-English authors’ names were often misspelled in WoS and only one author would receive an e-mail alert. We decided to normalize all names of Serbian authors and make sure that all co-authors receive email notifications. Data were updated on weekly basis and all authors received a personalized e-mail alert with support messages from KoBSON team, and with direct link to our web page. We expected that almost every author would click to see who is behind „the good news delivery“, and who are those who take care about Serbian researchers. And, that really happened. With this service the number of users intensely started to grow. They started to use our web page, not just for this service, but for all content we provide to them. Nowadays, we have more than 3 700 visits per day (more than 116 500 visits per month). We also think that our model can be implemented to any other services (e.g. Scopus, Google scholar, etc.) and in every country in the world.
