PUC-Rio – Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro has a repository named the Maxwelll System (http://www.maxwell.lambda.ele.puc-rio.br/). ETDs and journals are stored and made available from this repository, as well as senior projects, learning objects, articles, etc. ETDs became mandatory as of August 1, 2002 and the first journal was published in June 2003. Two areas of the Center for Humanities and Theology – Education and Languages – have traditional and well known graduate programs; they are also the ones that publish the highest numbers of online journals (3 each). The Maxwell System is an OAI-PMH data provider and PUC-Rio’s ETDs have their metadata harvested by BDTD, the Brazilian National Consortium, NDLTD, Biblioteca Universia, etc. All journals are indexed on DOAJ. Both their ETDs and journals have significant numbers of accesses from Brazil and from abroad. This work addresses a comparison between the patterns of accesses between ETDs and journals in those areas. It focuses patterns for ETDs and journals in the same area, ETDs in the two areas, and journals in the two areas. All analysis takes into account accesses from: (1) Brazil; (2) Portuguese speaking countries; (3) Spanish speaking countries; and (4) all other countries. The numbers to be compared are either computed in percentages or are normalized since the sizes of the collections are quite different. Since the newest journal in the two areas began being published in March 2010, this paper focuses accesses from this month/year on. This means that data are available for over two years. Accesses to ETDs have already been examined and presented and published at previous ETD symposia.Type
