- W126096170 abstract "Two surveys have been designed, one to be filled by astronomy librarians and the other by researchers and users, with the purpose of understanding what librarians want to communicate through their webpages and what is really perceived and used by their patrons. 1. Designing the Surveys This poster is the result of two web surveys on Italian astronomy libraries’ webpages. At the beginning of 2002 all the 12 Italian observatories merged into INAF (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica – Italian National Institute of Astrophysics) with 3 CNR Institutes (National Research Council), each one having different locations in our country: Bologna Observatory, IRA and IASF Cagliari Observatory Catania Observatory Firenze Arcetri Observatory Milano Brera Observatory and IASF Napoli Capodimonte Observatory Padova Observatory Palermo Observatory and IASF Roma Monteporzio Observatory, IASF and IFSI Teramo Collurania Observatory Torino Pino Torinese Observatory and IFSI Trieste Observatory Italian observatories have a very long history, some of them dating back to the 18th century. Before the merger they were self-governing and independent. Each one has always had a library and at least one librarian. CNR Institutes are much younger. They have always been part of a large National Institute and have a CNR Area Library facility. This is why they have neither libraries nor librarians of their own. In the last 6–8 years, almost every observatory library has built its own webpage. I thought that it would be interesting to know the researchers’ opinions CNR Institutes which merged in INAF are IASF (Istituto di Astrofisica Spaziale e Fisica Cosmica), IFSI (Istituto di Fisica dello Spazio Interplanetario) and IRA (Istituto di Radioastronomia). For more information see http://www.inaf.it 232 Italian Astronomy Libraries Webpages 233 of their libraries’ webpages and to compare the responses coming from each institute. Therefore I designed two surveys, each one consisting of 10 similar questions, one to be filled by astronomy librarians and the other by researchers and users. In both cases questions 9 and 10 were made to validate the survey with contact data (names and affiliations) in order to avoid duplicate answers. Both surveys have been created and published with Perseus SurveySolutions Express and were open from March 21st to April 30th 2006. I sent my colleagues an email with the links where they could find the two surveys, asking them to forward it to all the researchers from their observatory. The comparison of the responses given by librarians with those given by researchers was very interesting and useful for planning website improvements. 2. Survey for Librarians: Questions and Answers I received a total of 18 responses from all 12 observatories and from one CNR Institute. Some observatories sent me more than one response, one from the librarians and the others from library assistants. 1. Does your library have a website? 11 of the 12 observatory libraries have their own website: only Rome does not have one. 2. Please write your library homepage web address. 3. Who designed your library website? 4 websites are designed by librarians and 7 are designed by others with the support of the librarian who decides the contents. 4. Who is currently updating your library website? Websites are also updated by librarians in 6 cases, while 5 decide the contents and somebody else writes the pages. 5. Which is the average updating frequency of your website pages? Pages are updated at least every month and even more frequently in 7 cases. The other websites are updated 5–8 times a year. 6. Please check which links are available from the library homepage. OPAC, List of current serials, Core catalogs, Services (DD, ILL), Publication lists, Other libraries’ websites, Other services (ADS, star catalogs), History, Other. With this question I wanted to know which links were available in the libraries’ homepages. Comparing their responses with those given by the researchers, I wanted to understand if users could easily find all resources. 7. Using a scale of 1 to 6, please rate how easy is to find what users are looking for on your library website. Librarians generally consider that their library website is very user-friendly, as they replied that it is easy or very easy to find what someone is looking for. Only Palermo librarians think that it is difficult. See Martines (this volume) for a list of homepages." @default.
