Notes: 1. International collaboration in freshwater ecology was examined using authorship affiliations of articles published in thirty-three specialized journals. Most are published in Europe.2. Researchers from four to thirty-seven different countries were represented in the 100 articles examined for each journal. Only 29% of articles were single-authored; multicountry authors' addresses (indicating international collaboration) were found for 9% (range 0–23% per journal) of articles examined.3. Five of the eighty-nine countries listed in the addresses of the 3300 articles together contributed 〉50% of total articles: United States (24.9%), Canada (8.6%), Germany (7.6%), Commonwealth of Independent States (7.0%) and Poland (5.9%). Of the fifteen countries that each produced 〉2.5% of total articles, the percentage representing international collaboration was highest for France (34.9%) and Canada (24.0%). The seventy-four countries that each contributed 〈2.5% of total articles generally had higher rates of international collaboration.4. Researchers in the United States and Canada collaborate internationally almost twice as often in freshwater ecology than in all science. Much of France's extensive international collaboration is with countries that produce few articles in freshwater ecology, and their international collaboration is often exclusively with France.5. Three journals publishing both marine and freshwater ecology articles contain more articles on the former topic, but more countries are represented in the publication of freshwater than marine research.6. The percentage of articles that represent international collaboration is higher in freshwater ecology than in medicine, biology, chemistry and engineering, and approximates that in physics.

Notes: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe the processes the UCLA Library Website Redesign Team used to develop a new library website responsive to the needs of the broad population of UCLA Library users. Design/methodology/approach - Using a combination of structured analyses of the previous library website, user surveys, a card sort protocol and a think-aloud protocol, the Website Redesign Team procured sufficient information to meet its redesign goals: established clear site organization and navigation, utilized user-centered nomenclature, ensured easy access from the library homepage to relevant information, developed a unified institutional visual identity throughout the site, and enabled a content management system. Findings - Standard usability methods such as surveys and the card sort and think-aloud protocols are essential tools for evaluating and redesigning complex multi-layered websites. Since the redesign process is not finite, these tools contribute to keeping a website current and responsive to the needs of its users. Originality/value - This case study provides an example that the Redesign Team hope will empower readers with tools and knowledge that they can use to perform similar tasks in their own environment.
