  1. Dis-Integrated Technical Services and Electronic Journals : When library management systems don’t manage the information of libraries Andrew K. Pace Head, Systems NCSU Libraries andrew_pace@ncsu.edu

  2. Confessions of a Systems Librarian • What’s in a name? • Everyone is entitled to my opinion. • The Systems Department raison d’être. • The bait-and-switch.

  3. Classic Integrated System MARC Records Patron Records Patron self-service WEBPAC circ transactions • websites (856) • e-books • e-journals • databases • datasets reserve records serial holdings item holdings Serials Control Records Acquisitions Records

  4. Dis-integrated Library System • Licensing Files • ILL Files • Collection Management Files • Helpdesk Files • Statistical Files alpha list of databases subject list of databases web subject guides Authentication & Authorization • websites (856) • e-books • e-journals • databases e-journal finder institutional repository Serials Solutions TDNet SFX alert services MyLibrary

  6. NCSU Libraries E-matrix • The ad hoc E-Matrix Committee will implement a prototype electronic resources management system to support acquisition and licensing, collection management, and resource discovery for the Libraries' electronic resources

  7. NCSU Libraries E-matrix • define the need • survey best practices and related local and national initiatives • define functional specifications for the system • build a data model which maximizes opportunities for present and future interoperability with existing systems (e.g., ILS, MyLibrary, Serials Solutions, PeopleSoft) and utilization of existing or emerging standards (e.g., OpenURL, EDI, XML) • implement a prototype.

  8. E-MATRIX ADMINISTRATIVE METADATA licensing I L S Data Repos- itories Website Catalog E-resources Alert Services Local DBs & Collections Digital Archives subscript-ion info statistics E-MATRIX DATA HOOKS PRESENTATION LAYER technical support remote access Other Databases: E-journal finder ETDs Instn’l Repository Etc. evaluative data Evaluative Tools vendor data

  9. E-matrix Challenges • Public interface is secondary concern • Leveraging existing ILS data • Adherence to emerging standards • Avoid solutions looking for problems

  10. Public Interface

  11. Public Interface Local Marc Subfield ‘r’ c = Core resource n = Narrowly related resource b = Broadly related resource

  12. Existing ILS Data • Know your ILS RDBMS (or hope that it is relational!) • Database schema • ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) • Leverages a lot of historical data • Holdings data • Pricing data • Order, claiming, and licensing information • Minimizes re-syncing data

  13. Emerging Standards • XML Schema for E-resource Management • Workflow, specifications, data elements, schema • CONSER, LC, and the gang • NISO/EDItEUR • Serial subscription data exchange • Liblicense • Basic terms and contracts for licensing electronic resources • COUNTER and E-Metrics • Statistical counts • OpenURL, HANDLE, PURL, Global registry • Persistent identifiers • Shibboleth: Internet2/Mace authentication project

  14. Solve Only Known Problems • Can the library ILL this pdf article? • How do we manage subscription agent changes? • How does Acquisitions schedule renewals for 50 different schedules? • How do we represent an embargo period? • How do I inform all the stake-holders in the library any time there is a change? • etc….

  15. Getting started • Stakeholders: Cataloging, Acquisitions, Serials, and Collection Management • Identify data that are already being kept • Identify data that are needed for evaluation, longevity, and various services

  16. Finding Data Elements • Field Name • Field Type: text, number, date, dollar • Estimated field size: number of characters • Required field: y/n • Multiple occurrences: y/n • In ILS: y/n • Already stored electronically? (i.e. Access/Excell) • Field applies to: book, database, journal, all • Data entry by: cataloging, acquisitions, collmgmt • Example of data • Notes

  17. E-matrix / ERM Future • Taking the “E” out of E-matrix • Is the ILS superfluous? • Is MARC dead? • Will libraries or their vendors corner the ERM market?
