Integrating Digital Libraries and Traditional Libraries:
Two Catalogers’ Experiences

University of North Carolina at Wilmington
OLAC 2004 Montreal
iLumina Digital Library
• One of 356 collections of the National Science Digital Library (NSDL)
• Funded by the National Science Foundation Digital Library Initiative Phase II (NSF DLI-II)
• Features 1600 undergraduate teaching resources in science and mathematics
• Created with IMS-compliant metadata
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Project History
• Original iLumina project (2000-2003) funded to develop database & interfaces for searching and contributing resources
• Current iLumina project (2003-2005) funded to create a model for sustainability through integration with traditional library systems
OLAC 2004 Montreal
iLumina Goals
• Create a widely applicable model for sustaining NSDL collections beyond the period of their grant funding
• Develop a method for enhancing access to the digital resources contained in the collections
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Catalogers’ Role
• Analyzed and studied record fields in iLumina Digital Library
• Created sample MARC records for two records from iLumina
• Used sample records as model in creating crosswalks for harvesting metadata
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Cataloging Challenges
• iLumina record fields vs. MARC fields
--Fields not in local system load table
--Fields not indexed in local library system
--Lack of label for 5xx fields in MARC
• Limiting searches to iLumina
-- Location scoping
-- Advanced keyword search
• Determining publisher, distributor
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Metadata Scheme Crosswalks
• Two tracks for iLumina data:--Ending at NSDL--Going into local library and ending at WorldCat
• Three initial crosswalks considered before availability of Innovative XML Harvester
• Two final crosswalks created and used after understanding the functionality of the XML Harvester
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Crosswalks Continued
• Experimental crosswalks:IMS-DC-MARCIMS-MARC-DCIMS-MARC
• Final crosswalks:IMS-NSDL_DC (Qualified DC)IMS-MARC XML
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Innovative XML Harvester
• Converts XML data to MARC and provides mechanism for loading records
--DC (Unqualified) to MARC--MARC XML to MARC--Other XML schemes to MARC
• Processes XML data through OAI provider
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Harvesting
• Harvest1: Metadata converter converts iLumina records into NSDL_DC and MARC XML. OAI provider processes both data formats.
• Harvest 2: NSDL harvests NSDL_DC metadata through OAI provider
• Harvest 3: Library harvests MARC XML metadata through OAI provider, processes it through load table and loads it into library database
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Harvesting to Library
• Customize local library system load table
--270 field
• Review local library system index table
--024 indexed in ISN (I)
--516 indexed in keyword notes (w)
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Clean up and Enhancement
• Catalog librarians enhance harvested iLumina records in local library database
• Authority work--LC Subject Headings--Name authority
• Bibliographic quality control--Punctuation --Name order--Abbreviations --Capitalization--Constant data --Fixed fields
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Sending Records to WorldCat
• Import enhanced iLumina records from local library system into CatME
• Batch upload iLumina records file to OCLC WorldCat
OLAC 2004 Montreal
iLumina’s Future
• Integration of submission, review, & cataloging processes within library
• Determination of usage trends by monitoring library holdings added to iLumina records in WorldCat
• Implementation of plans to increase size of the collection
• Creation of model for sustainability through documentation of the integration process
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Teamwork & Cultural Differences
• Team of scientists and librarians• Scientists unfamiliar with bibliographic
standards and conventions• Librarians unfamiliar with NSF/NSDL
environment• Ambiguous meanings of terminology:
“library,” “cataloging,” “metadata”• Librarians learning new XML/OAI applications
OLAC 2004 Montreal
Implications
• Sustainability is an important challenge for digital collections
• Integrating digital collections into an established university library catalog is a feasible model
• Non-librarians will be increasingly involved in creating digital collections
• Catalog librarians can provide expertise in bibliographic standards and conventions
