What is Scholars Portal

Summer 2011
• Events Surrounding Access Copyright = Major Impact to University Library Systems
• Investigate available options– Available systems (Verde/homegrown) didn’t cut it
• Ideal Solution– Easy to implement/use/share– Multilingual– Cheap/Free

UBC Mondo License Grinder• Designed to be a back end tool• Was being used at UBC as license cataloging software• Open Source• University of Windsor was using it and linking it into SFX• OCUL started investigating if it could be re-purposed• Lots of Potential and was simple to Develop (LAMP
stack)

Consultation
• Lawyers– Helped with legalese
• Librarians– display usage rights directly in OpenURL menu– bilingual– share the work of capturing usage rights for
consortial licenses– Make it ours

Goals of Copyright@Western Education
Information Resources
Services
Licensing Project Plan Mandate:
Provide users with access to information about licensed use for all electronic content at Western Libraries
Timeline: 8 months (May-December 2014)
Licensing Project Plan (… cont’d) Project Goals:
Find and identify all active signed licenses Link to information about licensed content across
all access points (catalogue, discovery layer, external databases)
Embed licensing element into existing workflows Create a manual/procedures for the process
Licensing Project Team Two Librarians Two Library Assistants Support from:
Other library staff Library ITS Customer Service Standing Committee Western’s Copyright Advisor to the Provost
Library Assistant Training Plan Compiled list of resources How to read a license
No interpretation allowed Double blind method
Weekly meetings to discuss questions and issues
Decision Map (first draft!)
Timing is everything!(or look before you leap)
Some project numbers: Started with 1819 ERM records
31 obsolete records deleted
Focused on records with holdings attached: 898 893 records link to licensed use information
(over 360 000 access points!!!) 95 problem records unlinked
Side benefit: Fixed over 100 broken links and access problems!
“It’s a manual process!”
Resource record
Catalogue links to OUR
The problems of (trying) to maintain two knowledge bases Serials Solutions holdings management and
coverage loads into the catalogue
SFX link resolver
Next steps… Mapping OUR records to SFX
Work in progress More committees and working groups
Evaluating link resolvers

360Link: Sample record
May 2013—July 2013
2) OPAC – Voyager WebVoyage
2) OPAC – Voyager 8.2 & 9
3) Discovery System – Summon 1
But using the Publisher Info is not accurate to get the license links for some resources
Summon 1 – List All Resources
Summon 2 –Testing

Managing Mappings Dilemma• How do we manage mappings?
– Excel file/database to map databases->licenses
– Manually/programmatically enter license URLs in various
ERMs, Catalogs, OpenURL Menus, etc.
– Not easy to share
– Still very tedious
57
Potential Solution• UofT created mapping tool• SP imported it into OUR• For Serial Solutions, Catalogs, etc.
• Import Active DBs into OUR regularly and create mappings to licenses• Use APIs to query OUR for license information directly from platform
• For SFX– Active targets appear in real-time in OUR– Create Mappings– Automated process pushes out info into SFX note field
