An astronomy library's quest
for greater access to
literature and data

To Start...
The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is the lifeblood
of astronomical research.
● Disciplinary Repository, +10M bibliographic records
● Used by all astronomers (10M users total)
● Search literature, citations, related datasets & metrics
● 3M full-text docs, OA (arXiv) + publisher content
● Indexed by Google, Google Scholar, Bing
If it isn't in the ADS, it doesn't exist!
ADS Before & After
ADS API
Tagging the Literature
Creating greater access to the literature & data
by making associations, e.g. linking project
instrumentation & data to the literature.
Linking to All Data, Big & Small
AstroCurator
Telescope Bibliographies
Data Scientist Training
for Librarians
Before the White House
OSTP Directive
Refereed vs
Non-Refereed
OA Guide
for Authors
& Editors
Core Journals
Bibliographies
ESO
Chandra
HST
Keck
Spitzer
Data from:
J. Lagerstrom, STScI
OA & Core Journals
Embargo Source Start
None arXiv (pre-print) 1991*
? A&A (curr 2 yr) 1969
1 yr ApJ, ApJS, AJ** 1895
? MNRAS (curr 3 yr) 1827
1 yr? Others
Preference for OA via publisher site instead of IRs
* Oldest paper from 1986?
** OA for US public libraries
Almost there and
yet so far away
Gray or Grey Literature
Informally published written material that may
be difficult to trace via conventional channels
such as published journals and monographs
because it is not published
commercially or is not
widely accessible.
