RE: Dramatic Growth of Open Access

Hi,

you can do a search refinement for language in BASE 
(www.base-search.net) or combine your search with a language 
search parameter, e.g."open access lang:de".

I totally agree with you Ms. Aslan,

There must be a language refine option to make the research more 
relevant to users' needs and to save time, of course. In the 
digital era to supply or locate specific needs of users require 
more limitations in search. We can't ignore the dramatic growth 
of multilingual information or information in different 
languages.

Nice to observe such a growth. However, in multilingual services
  it has become a need to be able to refine search results by 
language, or be able to add language to search criteria.  For 
instance in DOAJ I don't want to be loaded with articles in 
various languages I will not be able to read and frankly 
speaking, this puts me off. The same applies to OAPEN which 
contains 1000 monographs from European universities in social 
sciences and humanities.
