Thomas Breineder from the World Bank made a good point on this topic at OR14 (http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi-fe2014070432290): If we really care about making publications accessible via repositories to those who can't get to the publications otherwise, we need to think about people in developing countries. Internet use in these countries is very different from the developed world, with a lot of traffic coming from mobile devices. He mentioned that 95% of Internet traffic in Uganda is from mobile devices. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
