VII. Aggregators and Harvesters Aggregators and harvesters improve the accessibility and visibility of digital publications. Harvesters aggregate the metadata from digital collections, so that they are searchable from a single location. Digital aggregators bundle content from different publishers together. They partner with multiple publishers to supply content (e-books, audio books, other media) and provide a platform for libraries and end users to search, order, access, and download the content on the Web. Libraries favor using aggregators and harvesters because they provide access to content from groups of publishers or repositories, instead having to deal individually with each organization. Canadian Electronic Library Publishers Collection http://www.canadianelectroniclibrary.ca/Cdn_publishers_collection.html The Canadian Electronic Library Publishers Collection is a collection of over 25,000 Canadian monographs (of which over 10,000 are current in-copyright titles) from 65 Canadian publishers, making the service Canada's largest collection of online books for libraries. Among these are all the major Canadian University Presses. Many of the titles in the collection are from Canada's leading scholarly publishers, most being offered for the first time in online e-book form. Over 80% of the titles in the Canadian Publishers Collection have never been available in digital form and most of the titles in the collection are available electronically only through the Canadian Electronic Library. Any item in the collection is available to all users simultaneously, and sophisticated search tools allow for quick location of items of interest. Users may move easily between material on all media (text, audio, video) and local collections may be integrated with published sources. The Canadian Publishers Collection is produced by Gibson Library Connections a Canadian company that aggregates and licenses products to libraries and library consortia across Canada. The Collection is widely available in Canada because has been purchased by the Canadian Research Knowledge Network a licensing consortium representing over 70 Canadian universities. Case Study: Canadian Association of Research Libraries Metadata Harvester http://carl-abrc-oai.lib.sfu.ca/ The <strong>CARL</strong> Harvester is the search service that aggregates the metadata records from participating Canadian repositories, allowing users to seamlessly search all of the repositories at once, using one common point of access. The harvester is hosted at Simon Fraser University Library, was in March 2004 to enhance the visibility of Canadian repository content. The harvester currently aggregates metadata from 23 Canadian repositories representing over 140,000 full text documents housed in the repository. 27
The content is updated daily. Once a day, the harvester makes a request to each of the participating repositories using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), returns all new or updated records, and incorporates them into its database. The updating is fully automated and the new records are available immediately for searching after they are retrieved. VIII. New Forms of Digital Scholarship New forms of peer-reviewed scholarship are being developed because of new technologies. These types of projects represent the next stage in scholarly publishing, that enable “scholars to work in deeply integrated electronic research and publishing environments that will enable real-time dissemination, collaboration, dynamically-updated content, and usage of new media.” 19 There are a wide variety of projects spanning almost all disciplines that fall into this category and it is difficult to generalize about them because they are so diverse. However one common characteristic is that they are often collaborative in nature and are usually developed and maintained by a community of scholars, with assistance from a university library or technical services. Below are two case studies which highlight this burgeoning area of scholarly publication. Case Study: Lexicon of Early Modern English http://leme.library.utoronto.ca/ Lexicon of Early Modern English (LEME) is a database of 123 glossaries, bilingual lexicons, and monolingual dictionaries from the Early Modern English period, 1480-1702. Its alpha version contains 430,000 word-entries. The database enables scholars to undertake original research into the entire lexical content of Early Modern English. The development and maintenance of LEME was supported through grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and from McMaster University's TAPoR Project (Text Analysis Portal for Research), which received a research infrastructure grant of the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and the Ontario Innovation Trust (OIT). There are two versions of LEME, a public one and a licensed one. The public version of LEME allows anyone, anywhere, to do simple searches on the multilingual lexical database but lacks advanced retrieval options. The licensed version of LEME is designed as a full-featured scholarly resource for original research into the entire lexical content of Early Modern English. The Project is run by scholars, and co-published by the University of Toronto Press Inc. and the 19 Brown, pg. 4 28
