Bibliographic control of the web publications in Latvia Digital Memory, Tallinn, 24.11.2005 Anita Goldberga National Library of Latvia

International conference devoted to the national bibliography in the digital environment, Riga, 2002 Shall the descriptions of dynamic electronic resources of remote access be included into the national bibliography? What is the basis of delivering internet resources to national libraries - a stipulation in the Legal Deposit Act, or an agreement with publisher [or both]? Shall all the internet resources referring to a country be archived? If ''not'', - what selection criteria would be respected? anita.goldberga@lnb.lv

What is bibliographic control of web? Trust is a good thing, but control is even better (favourite Russian principle of Juha Hakala). anita.goldberga@lnb.lv

Ways of organizing the bibliographic control of the web resources on metadata level: To record the web resources applying a library information system (usually MARC format); To design or to adapt a separate system for the control of digital resources (recording in Dublin Core or some other minimally structured format); To apply the metadata delivered by publishers; To make an attempt to extract and generate metadata from the resources automatically; To apply a combination of all the versions mentioned above considering the differing nature of resources; To publish the index of the archived and available resources on website or in other similar way; To pass more or less structured library metadata to some portal or to the search engines like Google, in Latvia – Siets. anita.goldberga@lnb.lv

Where we are in NLL? At present NLL applies the ways 1, 4 and 7 for the control of the digitally born resources. We are attempting to implement the 7th way within the project TELL-ME-MORE together with other national libraries. New tools are elaborated for implementing the 3rd way. anita.goldberga@lnb.lv
