Example story: As a researcher, I'd like to see / search on works <by, about, cited by, collected, taught> by University faculty <in an OPAC, profiles system>, to discover works of interest based on connection to people, and to understand people based on their relation to works. Example story: As a researcher, I’d like to see a list of works from the most prolific authors in my field at my institution and at other institutions. (Simeon's suggestion to answer Rob’s comment that researchers mainly care about research of other researchers rather than faculty status).
This use case is demonstrates pivoting on combined profile system and catalog data, perhaps even between systems. Need to be careful to distinguish demonstration of this use case from the faculty finder functionality of existing profile systems. Must understand how much catalog data adds (perhaps more in non-journal disciplines) and value of cross-institutional data. |
