  1. Merging Electronic and Digital Resources with Traditional Library Collections Cataloging, Metadata, and Next Generation Library Systems Karen Calhoun Cornell University Library September 2003

  2. Too many resources, too little time Can I get this article? Intermediate solutions Why Change?

  3. ? Too many resources, too little time

  4. Title Calis: acquiring electronic resources. Variant Title Augmented title: China Academic Library & Information System Author/Creator Aiguo, Li. Source Library Collections, Acquisitions, and Technical Services, (United States) v. 27 no2 (Summer 2003) p. 261-7 Can I Get This Article? Search library catalog (print holdings): Journal is not held! What should I search? ScienceDirect? EBSCO Host? ProQuest?

  5. Intermediate Solutions • Lists of indexes and full text resources on static Web pages • Browsable lists (alphabetic or by subject or both) • Searchable lists • Users and the “brown cow syndrome”

  6. Internet use How and where people seek information Growth of online information Reader Expectations Are Changing

  7. Explosion in Internet Use

  8. Internet use being fed by cell phone text-based messaging and online games Many Internet cafes PC ownership becoming commonplace Preference for obtaining information online growing stronger How and Where Students Seek Information

  9. Growth of Online Information and Other Trends • Faculty and students do more work and study away from campus • Loyal to the library, but library is only one element in complex information structure • Print still important, but almost half of undergraduates say they rely exclusively or almost exclusively on electronic materials • Seamless linking from one information object to another is expected

  10. Benefits to the Library • Make the most of investments in traditional, electronic, and digital collections • Relieve crowding in library buildings; support remote use • Provide better service

  11. Benefits to the Library, 2 • Bring treasured collections to the public while keeping them safe • Advance knowledge and scholarship

  12. The Role of Cataloging and Metadata Next generation library systems Digital and e-resources The Internet Local library systems Online cooperative cataloging Ohio College Library Center (OCLC) MARC Record

  13. Standards-based record exchange Interlibrary loan Document delivery Reference work Web-based catalogs Traditional, digital and e-collections AACR2 and MARC Support…

  14. 21st Century Cataloging “Libraries need to combine robust shared cataloging systems with new forms of metadata and with tying multiple forms of metadata into a single system.”

  15. B.W. For finding and managing library materials (mostly print) Catalog records (AACR and MARC) Shared cooperative cataloging systems Usually handcrafted, one at a time Highly structured and content-rich Expensive A.W. For finding and managing many types of materials, for many user communities Many types of records Many metadata repositories (most not shared or sharable) Sometimes handcrafted, sometimes machine-made, sometimes both Varied structure and content Can be less or more expensive than library cataloging Evolution: Metadata B.W. and A.W. (Before and After the Web)

  16. Helps you find and/or manage information Serves particular purposes Can be created by people or by machines Can be used by people or by machines Often has structure and/or content rules A Functional Definition of Metadata

  17. MPEG ICPSR VRA, CIMI FGDC MARC, Dublin Core, TEI EAD Describes or identifies info resources Facilitates managing, using info resources Facilitates navigation, retrieval, display

  18. Metadata Find! Reuse Share Map Keep Link

  19. A Unifying System Model Unified Web Interface (“Google-like”) Authentication layer ENCompass Integrator Other Libraries Catalogs Local Library Catalog Digital Collections Licensed Databases Other (e.g.,DSpace) Many diverse, separate interfaces

  20. Find Databases A local repository of metadata about indexes and other e-resources (replaces existing functionality) Find e-Journals A local repository of metadata about e-journals (title list) (replaces existing functionality) Find Articles A federated search and reference linking system for e-resources (new) http://www.library.cornell.edu/cts/encompass/(project page) http://find.library.cornell.edu/ (system) Demo of Cornell’s Implementation of ENCompass
