Posted by Melissa Terras in her eponymous blog, April 3 2012. Terras, a scholar in the Digital Humanities in the UK first uploaded her published papers to her school's digital repository and then blogged and tweeted about the papers. She has seen great growth in the download rate for these papers, though not across the board. To wit, she's increased her prominence (and that of her papers), but some of her papers are of greater interest than others. In future, she hopes to track her citation index over time, though it's too soon to measure at present.

This nicely summarizes Terras's lessons learned: "If (social media interaction is often) then (Open access + social media = increased downloads)."

By Daniel R. Rehak, PhD., Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) technical advisor. Presented as keynote at Fourth International Workshop on Search and Exchange of e-le@rning Materials (SE@M '10), September 27-28 2010 in Barcelona Spain. Rehak's basic point is that all of the learning materials already exist -- we just need a better, more viable, more searchable repository for them. Very nicely produced presentation.
