Directory of Open-Access External Electronic Resources on the Research Topics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences

The article presents the results of compiling the External Electronic Resources directory based on the online platform “Web-office of a Scientist” (http://i.uran.ru/webcab/) of the Central Scientific Library of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The directory includes electronic libraries and collections, repositories, and journal platforms on the research subjects of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. To select resources data from the universal repository registration system called Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) as well as scientific organizations’ websites in Russian Federation and abroad were used. The External Electronic Resources Directory contains 130 information sources on humanities, medicine, biology, physics, engineering science, chemistry, economics, mathematics, mechanics, computer science, agriculture, and Earth sciences. These information sources provide access to full-text documents, as well as multimedia and audiovisual materials, bibliographic and research data in English, Russian, French, German, Czech, Polish, Latin, and other languages. The search engine of the directory gives an opportunity to select electronic resource by tytle, link, country, subject, type, and a substring of the given resource description. There is a possibility of statistical accounting of queries to electronic resources from the Directory page on the online platform “Web-office of a Scientist”. The directory has practical importance for the research support and information servicing of scientists of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The use analysis of this Directory will be beneficial for the development of a search methodology as well as technologies to provide the scientific library with remote electronic resources.
