A quick test of the new openresearchlibrary.org with keywords Mongolian folk song<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of the top ten results, only three were very broadly on-topic:<\/p>\n

\n

1. Joro’s Youth: The first part of the Mongolian epic of Geser Khan. [Translation of an epic].<\/p>\n

4. Long Narrative Songs from the Mongghul of Northeast Tibet. [Neighbouring tradition]<\/p>\n

9. Virtual Reality in Village Folk Custom Tourism. [Somewhat connected].<\/p>\n

\n

Item 4 was Tibet, not Mongolian, but could be useful for those doing comparative work on regional intertwingling of traditions.<\/p>\n

No further relevant hits were seen on the first page, at 20 results per page. There were no relevant results at all on the second page.<\/p>\n

Full marks for slick and clean presentation. But, based on this quick test, at present the new service seems to have poor relevance-ranking for a general query. Using the more refined search Mongolian “folk song”<\/strong> gave dire results, surprisingly, and knocked out two of the three relevant results while adding no new ones.<\/p>\n

Still, the record pages are useful, all lead without fuss to OA full-text, and are Google-visible. As such, the URL has been added to JURN. At present Google has only tepidly indexed 140 such pages from the new site, but a full indexing can’t be far off. JURN probably already indexes all the sources used by openresearchlibrary.org, but it’s good to have a second option and some researchers — on seeing two links to what are obviously the same book or chapter — may prefer to use the slicker in-browser viewer at openresearchlibrary.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
