The State and University Library

• National library (NL)– legal deposit library. The State & University Library receives a

copy of all Danish publications, whether in printed or in digital format,

– national newspaper collection,– national media archive (sound recordings, radio & tv)

• National Loan Centre (OC)– Services for public libraries and small special libraries– Ethnic knowledge centre

• University library (UL)– The State & University Library is the main library of

the University of Aarhus.

Some numbers for 2004

• Stock– Books and periodicals (items) 3.527.000– Other materials 1.445.793– E-journals, titels 12.339

• Meters 109.503• Bibliographic records

– Statsbiblioteket & departmental libraries 2.310.943• Circulations/loans

– Direct loans 723.111– Interlibrary loans 441.439

• Use of digital resources– periodicals 938.350– digital documents 92.400

DEFF:Denmark’s Electronic Research Library

• DEFF is an organisational and technological partnership between research libraries

• Co-financed by – The Ministry of Science, Technology and

Innovation– The Ministry of Culture – The Ministry of Education

• Annual budget of ~ 2,3 mio. €

History of Technological Change

• First stage: New technologies are applied to existing processes (Do more of the same faster/cheaper)

• Second stage: New technologies are integrated into existing process (Improving existing systems)

• Third stage: New technologies are infused and diffused to create new processes and systems

Components towards the third stage

• Presence in user environment– Availability (pervasive information)– Relevant services (e.g. user satisfaction)

• New paradigms for search and presentation– Structured (SRU/SRW, OAI-PMH, Semantic web)– Unstructured (Google, …., UIMA)

• New paradigm for communication and publication• New Roles – different partnership

– Service infrastructure (webservices, AAI, SOA,..)– Authenticity and permanent access

• New economical models– Who pays for what, how

Background

• Analysis of user behaviour and expectation:– Niels Ole Pors “Studerenden, Google og

biblioteker”, July 2005– “Perceptions of Libraries and Information

Resources” OCLC, December 2005– University og California: “Rethinking how we

provide bibliographic Services”, Dec. 2005– “Brugernes forventninger til det hybride

bibliotek”, Marts 2006

14

Rethinking how we provide bibliographic Services

• The University of California Libraries: Final Report Dec. 2005

• The current Library Catalog is poorly designed for the tasks of finding, discovering, and selecting the growing set of available resources… it is best at locating and obtaining a known item

• Users expectation to the Hybrid Library: Report March 2006

• The library catalog plays no role in the selection process. It is used for locating known material.

Advantages of separating the library system from the search process:

• From “precise query” to “relevance”• May use “standard” web technologies:

– Fast and efficient search algorithm– Clustering analysis– Introduce relevance ranking based on many parameters– Advanced personalisation of query (e.g. based on history, training of

“agent”) – …

• Seamless service across different data resources – structures <-> unstructures– Non-library world can supply services (e.g. Amazon)– Several document suppliers– ……

• Use the Traditional Library system to what it is good at – handling of Physical material

18

New development – short term

• Did-You-Mean • Basket• Limit search (author, year)• Alternative sorting (author, year, etc.) • Selected fields used for new searches

19

New development – long term

• More resources (etss, e-books, DBC's netressourcer)

• Include staff profiles in database• Clustering• Intelligent indeksing• Personalisation• Extra material (book covers, abstracts, …)• “SFX”

Asynchronous JavaScript And XML AJAX

• Possible to have constant update of information on users screen– (X)HTML & CSS– Client-side skripting

(e.g. JavaScript)– Asynkronous exchange

of data via XMLHttpRequest

– Format of data: XML

AAI: The formation of a Danish InCommon: DK-AAI

High level Cooperation between• Government bodies involved

– Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation– Ministry of Culture– Ministry of Education

• Universities, other higher education, resarch institutions

• DEFF incl. National libraries

DK-AAI - the scene

Defining and organizing a common framework for identity and rights management administration within and between organizations for (higher) education, research and their e-resource providers

Institutional Repositories

• OAi-based infrastructure for the Danish Research Database (DDF)

• Support model to stimulate the creation of good and timely metadata to DDF

• Initiative to standardise the exchange format: DDF-MXD

• Work on agreement on persistent identifiers• PU:RE now supports upload (Dspace, Fedora) – may

extend to double upload• Steps towards

preservation infrastructure

OAi-PMH

Open Access i Denmark – DEFF projects

• Etss – a pilot project concerning e-migration of scientific journals– assistance to non-commercial publishers to online

publishing and survival– evaluation and test of e-tool and workflow– the result is a guide to the process and the choice

of tool– advocacy for Open Access– project website http://deffetss.cvt.dk

Infuse/difuse – research infrastructure

• Research Network – transmits information

• Denmark’s Electronic Research Library – buys and disseminates information

• Danish Centre for Grid Computing – processes information

• and• Rector’s Conference
