  2. Who We Are OCLC Europe, The Middle East & Africa • A European Based Organisation • Offices in Netherlands, England, France • with Over 20 Years Experience • Thinking Globally, Acting Locally

  4. The rich cultural diversity of Europe is reflected in its libraries with different languages, scripts, cultures, cataloguing rules, data formats, subject and name authorities, classifications,lending systemsetc. Our challenge is to provide systems in a modular and generic way that are flexible in accommodating these differences.

  5. Consortia Libraries form networks (consortia) to achieve economies of scale in their systems and to provide extended collections and services to their users.

  6. Building Consortia • Connecting Consortia • Building Content

  11. Differing Requirements • Modular system • Generic modules, capable of being tailored • Robust and scalable • Standards based to provide basis for inter-operability of Consortia • Unlike OCLC, no formal membership requirement

  12. Consortial Users • Partners are much more than customers • Cooperative development • Provision of configurable tools and source code • Incorporation of partner developed features • Requirements specification by assigned Working Groups • High level Product Management, future planning • Multi-level support • Help desk – consortial level • Discussion lists, Managed by OCLC PICA • Implementation support and training

  13. Building Consortia • Connecting Consortia • Building Content

  14. Connecting Consortia Provision of a single comprehensive access point to library materials is critical to the continued central role of libraries in information provision Because…..

  15. Users are now used to: • Single comprehensive source like Google • 2 billion URLs in 4 years • Leading search engine • Content and comprehensive coverage • Access without learning dbase names; minimum or no training

  16. The goal is to create a discovery infrastructure based on large regional indexes, so that users can seamlessly access the riches of the world’s libraries. • The creation of the EUCAT index is a core element of this concept.

  17. Global Discovery

  18. Provision of Services • Simple interface hides complexity • Less complex with central indexes • Easier discovery (fewer databases to consult) • Easier delivery (provision of locations with the data)

  19. RLIN OpenURL Z39.50, SRU, HTTP/XML Etc. Delivery Regional Union Cat BLDSC Electronic Full Text Regional ILL GBV NCC OCLC ILL Other ILL Other ILL WorldCat EUCAT iPort Other dbases Other dbases Other dbases iPort and ILL Discovery

  20. Why a physical index? • Successful virtual projects – ONE, VCUC, ZLOT etc. but • Broadcast searching generally slower as number of target databases increases • Inconsistent results due to different indexing • Common searches few and basic • Detection of duplicates fails over large result sets • The TEL project is favouring the creation of a centralised index using OAIPMH

  21. EUCAT • Discovery tool (not a union catalogue) • Links • to contributing union catalogues – authentication & authorisation, ILL, & copy cataloguing, • to document supply services for full text, reviews, e-books • Search protocol ZING/SRU and openURL • Update protocols • CBS/PSI pushed directly (NCC, GBV) • OAI, possibly using UCP data structures for modifications and deletions • FTP • Possible enrichment on entry, e.g. Creation FRBR works

  22. Cooperative development & experimentation • Enhancements in retrieval & filtering • Improvements in efficient metadata creation • Authority control • Multi-lingual • Multi-classification • Web resource sharing • Data mining • Remote access and rights management • FRBR presentations

  23. EUCAT with its association with WorldCat can provide a gateway to library resources that rivals Google as a gateway to Internet resources. Unlike Google, • always an available copy somewhere • quality of resources more consistent • more precise and complete results • ordered links to reviews, citations, etc. • quality of presentation & navigation

  24. Building Consortia • Connecting Consortia • Building Content

  25. Building Content • Digitisation • eBooks – collection of 62,000 • Digital Archive • OCLC pilot

  26. Digitisation • Just a new form of Delivery? • But revolutionary • Serves to • Protect originals • Uncover data via new index points (more powerful searching • Provide remote access • Publicize the library; enforce its role

  27. OCLC PICA & Digitisation • Tools • CONTENTdm • Olive • Production Services (Outsource) • Strata, Den Haag • OCLC Bethlehem, Pennsylvania • OCLC Lacey, Washington State • Metadata loading to Union Catalogue • ContentDM

  28. Distributed • Capture • Metadata entry • Organization Acquisition Station (5th floor) Acquisition Station (1st floor) CONTENTdm Server Acquisition Station (Other building or country)

  29. Multi-Site Server • Distributed • Collection Management • Item server • Shared Central Searching • Multiple Collection Views • Local or global • Web based Multi-Site Server CONTENTdm Server CONTENTdm Server CONTENTdm Server CONTENTdm Server

  30. Olive Active Paper Archive • Digitising Historic Newspaper Collections

  32. Building Content – Role of OCLC PICA • Recognizes the importance of digital content for the future of libraries • Selects most suitable products forthe creation of digital objects • Negotiates favourable license terms • Influences the development of the products for the library market

  33. OCLC PICA • Seeks Partnerships • Build and grow consortia, collections • Interfaced services and systems • Provides flexible solutions • Modular, configurable • Standards based • State of the art • European based
