OCLC Research Update Hear highlights of recent work by OCLC Research, including two short presentations. Senior Research Scientist Lynn Silipigni Connaway, Ph.D., will discuss the common themes from findings of 12 studies published in the UK and US between 2005–2010 on information-seeking behavior. This research helps provide a better understanding of student and scholar motivations for engaging in the information environment, which can help librarians create services that will be used and provide good value. Senior Program Officer Roy Tennant will speak on linked data, which provides a framework for computers to recognize and act on references to works, people, places and things in efficient ways—and on OCLC's work in the linked data field.
