PaRaLLEL sEssIons 1.6 to 4.6 1 JuLy 2010 sEssIon 2.6 Raymond BERaRd (BIBLIogRaPhIc agEncy foR hIghER EducatIon, fRancE): fREE LIBRaRy data? The issue of library records has long been restricted to the circles of librarians. Nowadays this issue is going far beyond librarians: at the last Berlin 7 conference in Paris, data produced by libraries were placed on the same level as scientific papers themselves, in a leap of the open access movement to library catalogs. Several initiatives have led the way: Open Library, Biblios.net etc… the latest being the CERN Library announcing that it publishes its book catalog as Open Data, allowing any library to freely download its catalog, the records being provided under the Public Domain Data License. It is a hot topic: OCLC is now working on the draft of a new record policy after withdrawing the new controversial policy it had published in 2008. OCLC has set up a working group to produce a draft policy that will be submitted to its members councils this Spring. As library materials are catalogued by public organisations and librarians are active promoters of the principles of Open Access, one would expect library data to be freely available to all. Yet this is not the case. Why then do so few libraries make their data free? One reason is that many libraries download records from data providers such as OCLC, national libraries or other organisations that impose their own, often diverging policies, some being very restrictive. What are the restrictions? What are the interests (commercial and strategic) at stake? How to make the date freely available to public, not for profit organisations without putting at risk the collective networks built by libraries over the years? This paper will present a panorama of the current situation, the actors and interests involved. It will address the legal aspects, the obstacles and show how it is possible to make data produced by libraries freely available to other knowledge organisations while retaining and developing the collective organisations and services built by library networks over the years. The aim of the “free the data movement” is to share and reuse bibliographic data in a new ecosystem where all the actors are involved, both users and providers, not only librarians. Raymond Bérard is currently Director of the Bibliographic Agency for Higher Education (ABES), which is in charge of the union catalog for French academic libraries. ABES is also involved in e-theses and develops new services to meet the expectations and information research practices of its users. He previously held the positions of Director of the French academic repository library, Marne-La- Vallée (2004-2005) and Dean of studies at the French National library school (ENSSIB, 2001-2004). Among his professional activities, Raymond Bérard chairs the IFLA’s Management and Marketing Section and the Information section of the French Standards authority (AFNOR). 64

The project has been launched by the Ministry of Education for the period 2008_2011 (http://www.kdk2011.fi/ fi/english-intro) and the total budget for 2008-2011 is ca M16EUR. The National Library of Finland is responsible for the development of the National user interface during the period 2008-2011. The system will be operable in 2011. This paper has its focus on the development and implementation of the National user interface in collaboration with archives, libraries and museums, describing the major challenges and risks of the project and how these have been worked on. The network of archives, museums and libraries in Finland consists of ca 500 -600 organisations. There are many expectations related to the functionality of the system within these organisations as well as among the end users. The organisations are also interested in the added value the Public interface will bring them. The challenges of the project are diverse ranging from political to detailed technical issues and many of them are more political or legal in nature or related to human issues than technical. Some of the major challenges and risks which have been identified and worked on are: - shared vision of the functionalities and benefits of the public interface - added value gained through the system - meeting the user needs - adaption of rapidly changing technology - funding and resourcing - copyright - needed expertise - communication Many methods have been used in the collaboration between archives, libraries and museums. To mention a couple: sharing knowledge of the systems and services of libraries, archives and museums, project staff of national library visiting frequently memory organisations, taking advantage of social media for example in drafting the functional requirements of the system, communication plan covering the whole project. A couple of slogans describe the philosophy and atmosphere of the project : Libraries, archives and museums working together!
