Aims and scope

World Digital Libraries is an international peer-reviewed biannual journal. The journal will seek quality research papers that present original theoretical approaches, as well as experimental case studies related to digital library development and maintenance and dissemination of digital information focusing on research and integration of knowledge at the interface between resources and development. In doing so, the journal will keep readers abreast with the current developments in the field. The journal will include articles, reviews, current developments, and case studies dealing with
� theoretical and methodological issues that relate to the interrelationships among electronic resources management, digital preservation, multiple access, multilinguality, copyright issues and security aspects;

� dialogues between the scientific community and society at large.

The journal will have global coverage with local focus and will provide its contributors and readers a platform to share their experiences. It will also facilitate dialogue among the digital library communities.

Articles and reviews should examine concepts, analyses, new approaches, and techniques pertaining to this field. Case studies covering new initiatives, as well as procedural breakthroughs of important issues in the digital library field would be included. Book reviews will cover recent books in the field, reviewed by an independent reviewer.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed using the criteria of originality, accuracy, and quality of contribution in these fields. The journal will also provide an update on topical developments in the field; notes on important breakthroughs; information on forthcoming conferences, workshops, seminars and relevant events; and highlight activities of national and international importance in the field.

Hi Everyone! I was researching MARC records and came across your
newsgroup. I am not familiar with newsgroups (or MARC records yet!),
so please bear with me.

My query, which I hope you can help with... I have an existing
catalog of 30,000+ DVDs which I would like to add MARC records to. I
have the UPC codes, but not much else.

The plan is to build a website and present some DVD data from sites
like Amazon, but also store the MARC records in our own database
(Amazon does not let you store their data).

Can anyone please tell me is there a way for me to match my list of
UPCs to MARC records and capture all 30,000+ records?

I have access to a programmer who is very good (xml, and other
stuff), all we are missing is the knowledge!

Thank you for your assistance!

Jen R

Please forgive any duplication, as I am sending this message to several lists.

Today I noticed that the University Library Karlsruhe virtual search site (http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/kvk/kvk/kvk_en.html) has now included WorldCat.org in its list of library catalogs for simultaneous searching and downloading.

Two other sites that allow for searching multiple library catalogs simultaneously and downloading MARC records are:

http://karo.umk.pl/Archive/K_C/karo.php KARO (Katalog Rozproszony Bibliotek Polskich)

and

Brandon-

You can contact me off list about Horizon questions. I'm a cataloger
a system administrator for our Horizon ILS. You're problem probably
isn't related directly to the MARC record but how the tags are
indexed and which indexes your HIP is drawing from to point to the
display. We have our display draw from the item record which is
typical. Having two people open in the same record can get
problematic depending on who saves what, when.

500+ Records in NIO’s Institutional Repository

The Institutional Repository of the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) Goa, India - http://drs.nio.org - crossed 500 full-text records (Journal articles, conference articles, book chapters, theses, etc) on 1 December 2006 since it’s launching during end March 2006. Within a short span of eight months, there are over 35,000 downloads from over 100 countries. How was this achieved?:

124 articles published by NIO’s authors during the year 2006 are up. Thanks to the authors who resourced these. Many of them have learnt the art of self-archiving (uploading on DRS) and few sought help of the library.
Other articles range for the period 2000-2005. NIO library obtained permissions from Indian publishers to upload these. These have been uploaded after scan and OCR. This has helped increasing the size of DRS.
Very little portion of this does include grey literature (theses, reports, etc.).
DRS is one among the very few institutional repositories in the field of Marine Sciences all over the world.

The contents of DRS is harvested by: OAIster (Global harvester for archives), Google Scholar, Avano (Marine and aquatic science harvester from France) and CASSIR (Indian archives harvester at IISc, India).

Ah, library catalog system glitches. It’s like telling old war stories.

I’ve been told by the head cataloger that occasional she and the former assistant cataloger would have the same record open in their respective Horizon logins and one of them would have the local call number and the other wouldn’t. And then, randomly, sometimes it would just come back.

That and our iPac occasionally decides that you don’t need the local call number for certain items. And no matter what you do, even deleting and recreating the record, won’t bring the call number back. It’s in the MARC record, but it doesn’t display in the public catalog. We apparently used to call SirsiDynix (then whomever) to have them corrected on a case by case basis, but they could never tell us why it was happening and what we could do to prevent it.

I get to pick up the torch of vendor relations and begin to sort this stuff out again, to see if there’s a solution. I’m not sure what kind of ocean I’m going to be diving into. If anyone has any advice I’ll be happy to take it.

Hello Brandon

Just in case you hadn't guessed, this is a very quiet group!

I haven't used Horizon but I have used about 6-7 other systems over the
years and I can safely say that every system I use has some sort of
weirdness. The one I'm using at the moment, Workflows, hasn't been set up
properly for records of electronic items in the fixed fields and insists on
putting extra fields in for serials! At least I can leave them blank. I keep
speaking to the manager about it, but nothing is going to happen soon. And
that is suppose to be a native marc system. On the last system I used,
FIRST, the display of marc tagging when cataloguing was always strange
because it wasn't native marc. Marc was just thrown in after they made it up
because they were asked to:

650 | 0 |a | Aboriginal Australians
650 | _ |z | New South Wales
650 | _ |z | Sydney
650 | _ |x | History

To a non-cataloguer it looks as if the tag has to be repeated for each
subfield......

Do you feel up to trying to describe what you system is doing?

Cheers

Jules

Which “crazy weirdness” are you referring to?

Is it the “Date time stamp error” where if you edit an authority record before you save your bib record you have to close the bib (without saving) then reopen it to finish?

Or is it the maddening deletion of your 430 entry in each series authority after you changed it from a 130 and added a title/author 100 field? (Dynix always asked if you wanted to save the old entry as a “see” reference. Horizon doesn’t ask – it just wipes it out without asking!)

Or is it having the system shut down on you when you do something it doesn’t like (but you haven’t a clue what it was)?

Or is it one of many other things I have not listed?

BTW – our assistant director for technical services is in Utah this week learning about the new Horizon update that takes care of many bugs they had fixes for but didn’t tell us about!

Hi everyone. I'm new to this group. I'm in library school (first
semester) and also learning cataloging at the Western Reserve
Historical Society.

I'm wondering how many of you work in libraries that use the Horizon
automation system. We have some crazy weirdness and I'd love to find
out if the problems we have are normal.

I'll lurk for now and once I have a feel for the group I'll try to
chime in constructively.

Hi everyone.

Does any one know whether there's any MARC rule/standard as to whether carriage returns are allowed in any MARC tag? Specifically, I'm referring to tag 520 (Summary).

Thank you.
