Enhancing Library Services in Finland: The MetaLib/SFX Integration Across Three Library Sectors

DESCRIPTION

This report discusses the implementation and benefits of MetaLib/SFX in Finland's university, polytechnic, and public libraries. With 64 portals across 20 university libraries, 29 polytechnic libraries, and 15 public libraries, the collaborative system simplifies access to resources. Annual FinSMUG seminars foster community engagement, covering usability issues, e-journal categorization, and practical solutions like Shibboleth authentication. Our ongoing collaboration enables libraries to share experiences, monitor progress, and optimize user training materials, enhancing information access for all users.

  1. FinSMUG Jukka Pennanen The National Library of Finland

  2. MetaLib/SFX in Finland • 3 library sectors using MetaLib/SFX: university, polytechnic and public libraries • 64 portals • 20 university libraries (19 live 2006) • 29 polytechnic libraries (18 live 2006 ) • 15 public libraries (5 live 2006) • (No special libraries 2006) • All libraries share 1 MetaLib/SFX server • Portal sofware administrated by Nelli office • Hardware and OS maintainded Center for Scientific Computing (CSC)

  3. FinSMUG • Annual seminars since 2005: • FinSMUG OULU 2005 • FinSMUG KUOPIO 2006 • Next FinSMUG in Tampere (2007) • Local speakers from libraries, systemvendors and the National Library

  4. FinSMUG • We have also had Verde and Primo presentations and an exposing presentation “Google Scholar versus Metasearch systems”. All these by Tamar Sadeh. Last spring we had a case study in Amsterdam University Library by Marco Streefkerk.

  5. How does FinSMUG work • Working group consists of members in university, polytechnics, public libraries and the National Library and it changes yearly (~5 members) • FinSMUGs in context with “Triangle seminar” i.e. library systems (LINNEA/Voyager), digital objects management system (DORIA/Encompass) and library portals (NELLI/MetaLib/SFX) • Focus on subjects that libraries find useful and topical

  6. FinSMUG in Kuopio 2006

  7. What has been discussed • Usability issues; few surveys have been made in Finland • Statistics in MetaLib and SFX (in both seminars) • MetaIndex, usability and utilization • SFX e-journal categories and how they correspond to domestic needs and local categorization • Proxy • Shibboleth authentication

  8. FinSMUG in Kuopio 2006, Marco Streefkerk speaking

  9. Practical solutions • Using ILL form in SFX • Customizing MetaLib interface • RefWorks and MetaLib • Briefing in configurations • Shibboleth authorization and EXProxy as IP-proxy (remote usage for web-based licensed databases) • Case: MetaLib/SFX briefing to students in Kuopio and Helsinki University Libraries • Several MetaLib/SFX implementation cases in different libraries in Finland

  10. Meetings with project managers • About four a year • Representatives of each library sector meet at Helsinki university (some joined via video conference) • Reporting on progress of portals • Updating techical information • Sharing experiences

  11. Ad hoc groups • Translation • Categories • Virtual collections • End-user training material
