NEEO Survey launched to gather views about Economists Online
NEEO (Network of European Economists Online) is an EU-funded project which will address the lack of integration of academic output amongst premier European economists institutions by creating a powerful new research tool call Economists Online. The survey is intended to identify the needs of the end users and will be used as a basis for the content acquisition and dissemination plan and design of the project's information services.
Specifically the survey will help us to identify:
authors requirements for storing and disseminating full text documents they have produced
authors requirements for storing and disseminating statistical datasets they have produced
researchers requirements for access to documents and datasets
need for value-added services (e.g. tailor-made publications lists, statistics, selective dissemination of information, RSS feeds)
any multilingual and cultural issues
If you would like to complete the survey, please follow one of these links:

Portalto bringtogether Europe's top economics research
Leading economics libraries have won a 2 million bid to create a subject-based repository. The project, called Network of European Economists Online (NEEO), will address the lack of integration of academic output because of the way storage of and access to information is currently dispersed.
Based on the content of the institutional repositories of the partners, the Network will provide:
1. integrated academic output, including, journal articles, working papers, chapters, conference proceedings and datasets
2. a central multilingual portal and full-text search service with links to the full-text research publications and primary data output
3. more comprehensive access to the life's work of 500 leading researchers
4. access to the current research results of leading institutions in the area of economics
5. primary datasets with links to the publications based upon them.
