Bel Jour: a discipline-specific portal to periodicals
No full textConvenient, subject-based access to current periodicals can be difficult to achieve in today’s mixed and changing journals environment. This paper describes the creation of a web-accessible database of journals in business and economics, using Microsoft Access and ColdFusion. Bel Jour, the Business and Economics Locator for Journals at Rutgers, provides value-added descriptive information about a specific subject-based journal collection, along with convenient access to content from this collection. Although the actual journal collection is dispersed among many physical and online locations, Bel Jour provides a single, virtual point of access for researchers in the discipline.Published in print as Womack, Ryan. “Bel Jour: a discipline-specific portal to periodicals.” Information Technology and Libraries, Volume 21, Number 2, June 2002, pp. 81-86.Peer reviewe

Data Visualization and R
No full textThis workshop focuses on principles and techniques for the visualization of data, with an equal emphasis on theory and implementation. Drawing on classic works by Cleveland (Visualizing Data), Tufte (The Visual Display of Quantitative Information), and Wilkinson (The Grammar of Graphics), a range of best practices for visualization are illustrated. Recently developed techniques for large-scale, 3D, and interactive visualization are also discussed. For each of these approaches, methods for creating similar graphics in the R open-source statistical language are demonstrated, using packages such as ggplot2, lattice, and others. Interactive visualization packages such as playwith, shiny and others are also explored.Presented at IASSIST 40th Annual Conference, "Aligning Data and Research Infrastructure", Toronto, Canada, June 3, 2014.Womack, Ryan (2014 June).

Information intermediaries and optimal information distribution
No full textInformation intermediaries collect, organize, and distribute information to their clients. This study examines three institutional forms of information intermediary: the for-profit firm, the nonprofit organization, and the government agency. Using results from the economics and information science literature, five tests are proposed that characterize particular information markets. For a given information market, these characteristics determine the institutional form of information intermediary that will maximize the total social and private benefit from information consumption. Although many kinds of information can be effectively delivered by for-profit information intermediaries, socially beneficial information often requires subsidized provision from government or nonprofit intermediaries in order to encourage consumption up to socially optimal levels. Applications to current topics in information distribution are also discussed.Author’s version of paper published as Womack, Ryan. “Information intermediaries and optimal information distribution.” Library and Information Science Research.
