Summary
More and more content gets published on the net. On the one hand, there is a growing number of institutional and subject repositories are created by the open access movement and, on the other hand, a lot of Web 2.0 services allow publishing of different material like videos, music, photos, but also documents and presentations. Many of these services are getting used by a lot of people, so they are very successful.
Libraries sometimes report a hard job to motivate scientists to deposit their publications in repositories. In the workshop we will look at three Web 2.0 repositories: Flickr (pictures), Slideshare (presentations) and Scribd (documents) and compare them with the E-LIS repository. We will compare features and discuss where the repository from the librarians has features that should be kept and where we should start to work to get a better user experience and how we make it more easy for scientists to use our repositories.
