Hinweis der Redaktion
- Speaking to the paper – will cover all the headings though in some cases quite briefly
- PC sections 1-3 ADP sections 4-6
- Origins History began in the C19th with the beginning of modern bibliographical principles & foundation of Edinburgh Bibliographical Society – first project was to create a list though first publication was in 1904
- Today all of these bibliographies are online As you can see, disparate bibliographies, all with different inclusion criteria Historical bibliography was widely used but search statistics for SBO were low
- Today all of these bibliographies are online As you can see, disparate bibliographies, all with different inclusion criteria Historical bibliography was widely used but search statistics for SBO were low
- Today all of these bibliographies are online As you can see, disparate bibliographies, all with different inclusion criteria Historical bibliography was widely used but search statistics for SBO were low
- LOD – used by national bibliographies elsewhere Mention review processes and IFLA guidelines and how useful they are Open data idea of bibliography as dataset
- Report with recommendations, June 2017 A new name National Bibliography of Scotland A new scope One unified national bibliography Scottish imprint Scottish authorship Scottish languages … but not Scottish subject matter
- applied only to works that have been produced on a printing press, so that the final scope includes musical and cartographic notation and graphic novels, as well as born digital publications. There were debates as well around the question of what a ‘publication’ is in the born-digital age. For instance, in terms of the UK Legal Deposit Act 2003, and the supporting Non-Print Legal Deposit Regulations 2013, a publication includes everything from commercially published best sellers and free newspapers to online local history blog sites and Twitter accounts. However we decided on a narrower definition for the National Bibliography of Scotland, excluding for example dynamic web content such as social media and interactive narratives. The National Bibliography of Scotland will therefore include works that are commercially published and/or sold, which are either printed in any way or born-digital but existing in a fixed state.
- Proposed Advisory Board: 6 members 3 representatives from Scottish publishing British National Bibliography SCURL (Scottish Consortium of University and Research Libraries) 3 co-opted members To include academics/experts in bibliography To meet once a year
- NBS also requires data for content that the Library has been or will be unable to collect (e.g. some Aldis titles etc.) In this respect, NBS = extended subset of the Library catalogue Explain difference in terms of Legal Deposit/acquisitions etc. vs curated content based on specific criteria Light blue = wish list, could shrink with time
- What we’re looking for: Sustainable bibliography Methodology for efficiently populating and maintaining it Solution in systems terms based on best use of LSP project – migration to Alma and Primo as Discovery service: Data management in single DB for records of the Library catalogue including some that match the NBS criteria That as primary data source => less maintenance problems Apply different ‘views’ for discovery with customisable visual differences (e.g. title, colours, content e.g. LS feed diff. datasets, layout etc.) Visual differences in the ‘views’ will clarify one of the main areas of confusion and will help to make the relationship clearer between the National Bibliography and the National Library collection
- ‘View’ = user interface but also way into a selected set of data (i.e. catalogue records) held in the National Library’s main library system
- Initial dataset derived from records in the main catalogue, where we invest most heavily and have most control and confidence in the quality of the metadata Place + language based on Marc encoding 008 (not 041/044 yet) Initial dataset published on Open Data platform ~368,000 recs (i.e. ~200,000 more than SBO) Automation still to put in place to update this initial dataset, don’t expect major complications with current system functionalities Idea is to minimise additional work involved in terms of data management by streamlining processes, using available data, data to day activities
- Colleagues in curatorial team will incorporate identifying Scottish Authors as part of collection development work Name Authority Files - Main obvious file to start with is LCNAF to which we contribute as part of our NACO work within PCC Update recs to ensure they have appropriate Scottishness info Is part of what we do already but make better use of that data, opportunity to improve our workflows and release the value of this work, as well as understand to what extent this info is recorded May start by using existing list of Scottish authors to help investigate how identification and updating of name authority records can be automated Alma functionality to integrate authority identifier in our data Once author identifies we can easily find associated bib records for inclusion in the bibliography (still to fully test how to achieve this) Authorship is the most challenging criterion to automate, will always require human intervention to identify, record and maintain new authors etc. Would be interested to hear if anyone is doing anything similar
- Delivery of NBS will rely heavily on the availability of appropriate metadata, our confidence in its quality and consistency in describing resources past, present and future; crucially important for implementing automation as much as possible Place is coded but current cataloguing practice limits the application to primary place of publication but will rely on the option to record multiple places of publication. Manual identification and upgrade of relevant records will complement automation Language is similar issue – expand to multiple languages including translations Name: start making use of identifiers Criteria has potential to be comprehensive but NBS is constantly evolving dataset; main point is putting in place processes, improving workflows, and automation
- Challenge is to turn these diverse existing legacy datasets into metadata which of of suitable structure and standard to be integrated in the NBS and where they don’t exist, to identify appropriate data sources: SBO: matching, deduping (overlap), excluding those that no longer fall within NBS selection criteria (subject) ALDIS: many ESTC numbers to match in our cata & ESTC database; upgrade remaining to appropriate standard Also update of existing recs for additional place and language codes for example Gap (no easily identifiable dataset/bibliography to work from): eligible content that is not in our catalogue; look at external data sources such as: OCLC Worldcat, NBK, Alma community zone, BNB, Heritage of the Printed Book dataset (beg printing to the mid 19th) maintained by CERL (Consortium of European Research Libraries for printed and manuscript cultural heritage material) etc.
- Commitment to publish NBS as LOD (as other major European National Libraries: BL, BnF, DNB, Finland, Sweden, etc.) Coherent choice, dataset well defined, potential to connect to other national libraries NBS criteria lend themselves well to LOD entities especially Names, ‘Scottish name authority file’ is a concept but potential to create virtual Scottish name authority file deriving content from other authority files as well as tool to help in our processes (listing of identifiers of names already considered for inclusion) Complies with commitment from UK + Scottish governments to open up public data for wider re-use Through semantic linking of related resources can provide better user experience Help to increase discoverability + usability of NBS, release its value and that of our collections Help to integrate our different collecting databases Is driver for future LOD developments at Library, embrace more modern data management practices
- Review purpose of National Bibliography to ensure fit for purpose, useful, sustainable (consult stakeholders); helps to articulate value of a Nat. Bibl. Review current data management practices; how to be more flexible and responsive on how we manage our data workflows, be more relevant and implement change Increase collaboration with peers and associates from library sector and beyond (feedback, advice, support, metadata contrib etc.) Use case to demonstrate value in creating and investing in good metadata => deliver better sesrvices whilst beneffitting wider info landscape; takes us on next step to engage in semantic web environment
