Integration and Automation in Practice: CI/CD in Mule Integration and Automat...
Primo at Ticer 2009 - afternoon session
1.
2. Presentation - overview The Royal Library explained The complexity: different roles and different needs Integrated? Not quite. The pain of articles Clean-up. Deduplication and its blessings Future development – the road ahead
3. The Royal Library of Denmark National Library of Denmark University Library for Copenhagen University (30.000 FTE’s) Principal collections of about 6M records ALEPH host for ~100 other research libraries
4. The Royal Library of Denmark Main catalog 5M records 9 separate ALEPH databases Numerous additional non-catalog databases Close cooperation with the 8 University faculties and their many institute libraries
5. The complexity Why are we so complex? Legal deposit library with strict reading room access (national library) Lending library (university library) Digital access to special collections for everyone (national library) Highly restricted access to licensed material (e-books, e-journals, and databases) Full integration of faculty and institute libraries – some of which are open lending libraries, some of which are closed to the point of being almost secret libraries
6. The state of affairs Our information universe was, in other words: Fragmented Complex Quite user unfriendly
7. The state of affairs What we want to do is: Bring everything together in a single interface (including licensed material – articles) Make it easier to navigate our complex collections Get our licensed material exposed and made easily accessible
8. Integrated? It’s complicated… Local catalog and remote articles: Our own data is harvested and thus integrated (including e-books, e-jornals, and databases) Articles are searched remote in the same interface We can only integrate data that we can get The article problem is handled via DADS and Deep Search
9. DADS DADS: DTV Article Database Service Data bank of harvested and normalized article (meta)data Hosted by The Technical Information Centre of Denmark (DTIC) Contains 100M+ records Currently a project exists to create a national databank containing everything relevant to all Danish research libraries
10. Databases: ABI-inform Biosis Previews Compendex Ebsco Academic Search Elite Ebsco Business Source Premier FSTA InspecP Periodicals Index Online – Proquest Wilson Art and Humanites ------------------------------------------------ Data aggregators: Swets (+20,000 journals) DOAJ Publishers: ACS – American Chemical Society Blackwell Cambridge University Press Elsevier (incl. Acpress) Emerald JSTOR Karger Nature Publishing Group Oxford University Press Science Magazine Springer (incl. Kluwer) Swetscan Sage … and a couple more…
11. Deep Search (3rd node) Deep Search is Primo’s way of searching and presenting a remote pool of data It is configurable and can be set up for any SRU enabled target Delivery is handled via SFX in our case Deep Search results can be blended with local Primo results to create one result set So how does all this work?
16. Clean-up - deduplication Deduplication Defined as part of normalization (pipes) Fully configurable Merges records and places holdings on one record
21. Further clean-up - FRBR FRBR: FRBR works just like deduplication The Royal Library has currently disabled FRBR
22. Version 3 – release end of 2009 Some of the highlights ILS functionality fully integrated in frontend WARC pipe - web harvesting Primo Central – central article and e-book index. Currently: EBSCO Alexander Street Press IOP Publishing Project MUSE PNAS American Institute of Physics SPIE SIAM OECD
23. A final word If you opt for integrated search, here are a few thoughts: Re-think your data entirely Re-think selection – what does it actually mean to ”own” things these days (case in point: Dawsonera)? It is NOT a catalog! It is ALSO a catalog!
24. A final word Questions? (I can be reached at: jma@kb.dk)
