Sida 16 LIBRIS-meddelanden Summary in English Focusing on the union catalogue. The LIBRIS Database and the local library catalogues During the last two years the Catalogue and the Interlibrary Loan Systems have been replaced by modern systems (UNIX-NT), both systems developed and maintained at the LIBRIS Department. The catalogue format has been converted to MARC21. A new version of LIBRIS Web- Search with several new functions has been implemented. The collaborating LIBRIS libraries are responsible for the content of the database. They create bibliographic and holdings records in the database and import the records to their local databases. How can the union catalogue and the local catalogues collaborate? Is it possible to maintain two catalogues, a local version for each library together with the union catalogue LIBRIS? The local catalogue is needed for circulation and acquisitions transactions. When searching for information, the local catalogue often proves insufficient. The large amount of searches carried out in LIBRIS each day makes LIBRIS WebSearch one of the most important sources for information retrieval in Sweden. Local functions could be implemented in the union catalogue. Loan status will be implemented in the union catalogue next year. Is a local WebSearch our next step? These are some examples of what is possible within the new LIBRIS WebSearch system. Now it’s time for the Swedish academic libraries to consider new possibilities of collaboration and development. Mats Herder Head of Department Procurement of portal application system and link resolution server The LIBRIS Department has started a European procurement process, aiming to purchase a Portal Application System and a Link Resolution Server for ”national use”. The intention is to find a technical solution for co-ordination and rationalisation regarding the handling of electronic resources in the Swedish library community. The link resolution server will be used to facilitate linking between related resources. The portal application offers the end-user a homogeneous search interface for, and crosssearching among, a large number of resources. The purchased systems should be possible to adjust to local library specific needs and the portal application also to be personalised on the end-user level. The Request for Proposal is planned to be announced by the end of January 2003 and the evaluation and contractual issues will hopefully be finished before summer. If so, the systems can probably be put in production during autumn 2003. Lisa Petersen Project Manager On the maintenance of electronic journals in the LIBRIS database The aim of LIBRIS National Union Catalogue is to reflect the holdings of the LIBRIS libraries – irrespective of form (printed or electronic). A report concerning bibliographic information of electronic journals was the starting point for this project. The LIBRIS Department was commissioned to create a system for the administration of the maintenance of electronic journals in LIBRIS. The LIBRIS Department has developed a Z39.50-client, which from a list with ISSN automatically searches a number of predefined databases and downloads records. A special interface has been created which makes it possible to administer and update a large amount of records and holdings. Tomas Friberg Training in LIBRIS new cataloguing system: planning and realisation at Göteborg university library LIBRIS new cataloguing system was put into operation in January 2002. The LIBRIS Department in Stockholm offered training in November 2001 for the Swedish university libraries. These libraries had to plan and carry through the training for their staff and for local libraries before the new cataloguing system started.
Nummer <strong>80</strong> Sida 17 Summary in English The article describes how Göteborg university library planned, organised and carried through the training (comprising 1.5 day) for 90 persons. Seven librarians were involved as instructors. There are no real technical problems with the new cataloguing system, though a new guide with description of formats and examples, as well as a new cataloguing handbook is needed. Helena Forssblad The new version 1.0 of LIBRIS WebSearch The LIBRIS National Union Catalogue is regularly updated with MARC records from external bibliographic utilities (such as Library of Congress, British Library and the Deutsche Bibliothek). These external records are primarily used as acquisition and cataloguing support by the LIBRIS libraries. The ordinary deduplication detection control in the new cataloguing system is however currently not sufficient for our needs. In order to reduce the number of duplicate records, the LIBRIS Department has therefore developed and implemented special detection routines. Christer Larsson The new version 1.0 of LIBRIS WebSearch has now been launched. This version offers the functionality of the previous system as well as numerous new functions including index browsing, a new Boolean search form, truncation, masking and sorting (alphabetically and chronologically). Moreover the technical procedure and support has been upgraded and the interface improved. An English version of LIBRIS WebSearch 1.0 is also available http://websok.libris.kb.se/ websearch/form?lang=eng Britt Sagnert On batch import of foreign MARC records and de-duplication detection in LIBRIS
