This talk isn’t about…
…and it’s not about
O’Reilly ‘hacks’ series “ O'Reilly's Hacks Series reclaims the term hacking  for the good guys—innovators who explore and experiment, unearth shortcuts, create useful tools, and come up with fun things to try on their own.”
Library hacks ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],hack our libraries hack public libraries now                                                                                                          
Contents ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Z39.50 and all that… ,[object Object],[object Object],end-user’s machine library catalogue search request results
Z39.50 and all that… ,[object Object],[object Object],library catalogue 2 library catalogue 1 library catalogue 3 end-user’s machine
Libraries at the cutting edge? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
if catalogue search fails… try a cross-search of multiple catalogues in the region
 
 
But… ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What are Web services? “ Automated resources accessed via the Internet .  Web services are  software-powered  resources or  functional components  whose capabilities can be accessed at an internet URI. Standards-based web services use XML to interact with each other…” “ The term  Web services  describes a standardized way of integrating  Web-based applications  using the  XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI open standards   over an Internet protocol backbone. XML is used to tag the data, SOAP is used to transfer the data, WSDL is used for describing the services available and UDDI is used for listing what services are available. Used primarily as a means for businesses to communicate with each other and with clients, Web services  allow organizations to communicate data without intimate knowledge of each other's IT systems …”
Web services - summary ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Google and Amazon APIs ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],http://www.google.com/apis/ http://www.amazon.com/apis/
What do the APIs offer? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Example: RDN/Google spell
Libraries, Google & Amazon ,[object Object],[object Object],end-user library catalogue Google Amazon SOAP SOAP Z39.50
Libraries, Google & Amazon ,[object Object],[object Object],end-user library catalogue Google Amazon SOAP SOAP SRW (SOAP)
Embedded into library site? end-user library catalogue Google Amazon SOAP SOAP SOAP RDN SOAP
Linking and OpenURLs
OpenURL roots ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],an academic library perspective?
The problem ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],an academic library perspective?
The solution… ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],OpenURL OpenURL resolver (link server)
Non-OpenURL linking resolution of  metadata into a link (typically a URL) A&I service document delivery service link to referenced work   . reference link destination link source
OpenURL linking . user-specific resolution of metadata & identifiers into services reference provision of OpenURL transportation of  metadata & identifiers context-sensitive A&I service document delivery service link source OpenURL OpenURL resolver link link destination link link destination link link destination link link destination
Example 1 ,[object Object],[object Object]
button indicating OpenURL ‘link’ is available
OpenURL resolver offering context-sensitive links, including link to ingenta
 
also links to other services such as Google search for related information
 
Example 2 ,[object Object],[object Object]
button indicating OpenURL ‘link’ is available
OpenURL resolver offering context-sensitive links, including link to Amazon
 
also links to other services such as Google search for related information
 
Summary… ISI Web of Science University of Bath OPAC OpenURL resolver ingenta Google Amazon OpenURL Source OpenURL Resolver OpenURL Target deep links
Is this relevant to PLs? “ It's probably safe to predict that, within another year/acquisition cycle or so, *lack* of OpenURL support will be the exception for any academic library/consortium that licenses full-text resources (that is, OpenURL support will be the rule),  and there will be growing penetration of OpenURL resolvers within public libraries that license full-text resources .” Walt Crawford, RLG
OpenURL & PLs A&I services University library catalogues OpenURL resolver Public library catalogues Google Amazon Document supply services
Case study 1 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],http://www.storiesfromtheweb.org/
note: SfW subscription by library authority so some knowledge about where to link to potential link to book in public library catalogue (or Amazon) link to more info potential link to author search in public library catalogue (or Amazon)
potential for pulling in metadata and cover art via Amazon API … and for making into link to Amazon or PL catalogue
Case study 2 ,[object Object],[object Object]
link to Amazon … potential link to book in public library catalogue
Case study 3 ,[object Object],[object Object]
http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/stories/2002/12/11/librarylookup.html select link to find nearest library catalogue
drag this link to your browser toolbar
note that the ISBN is embedded into the URL click ‘ bookmarklet’ to link to library catalogue
 
 
Case study 4 ,[object Object],[object Object]
many blogs contain references to favorite books or current reading material … typically with links thru to Amazon
the Bookwatch service analyses hundreds of blogs and counts links to particular books at Amazon, based on the ISBN … then provides ranked lists, pulling in ‘book’ metadata and cover art using the Amazon Web services
Deep linking into libraries ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Does deep linking work?
Hmmm… not always http://www.foursite.somerset.gov.uk/cgi-bin/viewpoint_server.sh?enqtype=SECOND&enqpara1=RESULT&rcn=0002180472&media_code=1&sec_code=&authorlist=&filename=&page=&no_of_results=14&type=ISBN&sec_stng=&media_stng=&authorpage=&subsearch=&searchtype=&hitcount=

XML is used to tag the data, SOAP is used to transfer the data, WSDL is used for describing the services available and UDDI is used for listing what services are available. Used primarily as a means for businesses to communicate with each other and with clients, Web services allow organizations to communicate data without intimate knowledge of each other's IT systems …”
