ULiège researchers, your publications are visible on ORBi, far from it indeed...
Since the start of ORBi, particular attention has been given to its referencing in quality tools. Our aim is to automatically “push” ULiège references to all those places where researchers are likely to go to search for scientific information.
Naturally, this visibility is achieved by using inevitable web tools such as search engines, but also by means of more specialized tools such as Open Access harvesters, library catalogues or through social networks.
In just a few clicks, a deposit on ORBi for the widest possible dissemination!
Web visibility depends, quite simply, on optimal positioning on general purpose search engines or search engines specialized in scientific literature.
The ORBi references are therefore rapidly present and visible on well-known search engines such as: Bing, Google, Yahoo... but also on:
Baidu
http://www.baidu.com/
DuckDuckGo
https://duckduckgo.com/
Google Scholar
https://scholar.google.com/
Microsoft Academic
https://academic.microsoft.com/
Google is evolving, libraries are too.
Thousands of libraries around the world are encouraging their users to take advantage of the enormous potential of “discovery tools”.
As gigantic indexes, these tools mean that it is possible, by means of a single interface, to search among several hundreds of millions of electronic resource references of a scientific nature (articles, books, chapters, reports, legal documents…). This data is made available by editors and content aggregators, it can also stem from local sources (catalogues, institutional repositories, digital collections…).

Apart from Google Scholar, there are several other search engines specialized in scientific information.
These are high-performance search engines built on the OAI protocol for metadata sharing in order to harvest the various sources (institutional repositories, open archives…).
