Auxiliary Library Explorer (ALEX) Development

Abstract

In this report we describe the development of the Auxiliary Library Explorer (ALEX) which was carried out as part of a DST Group summer vacation scholarship in 2013-14 by Alex Bunting. ALEX is a prototype tool motivated by Google Scholar which uses the DST Group for-official-use-only (FOUO) internal report database as its input. It provides DST Group researchers with an additional discovery capability and is available (at the time of publication) on the DST Group internal website. We use ALEX's underlying database to explore DST Group's collaboration network and discuss a preliminary result supporting the assertion that inter-divisional collaboration may occur within sites more than between sites.
