Management Environments The problem User Environments (OPAC) MetaSearch (Viewer) Print Electronic Digital Link Here we are talking about what we refer to as “turning the format-based, vertical silos, into service-based, horizontal workflows.” If you look today at the library, you have the management environment, and the user environment. The problem is that historically, the management solution, the management of tools in the library environment have evolved over time. Initially we had print, but then electronic started to appear, so we had to develop solutions and tools to manage that. And today we see digital. And what happened with the move to digital resources, basically the old systems weren’t adequate enough, and we had to adapt other tools. So when that took place, we had a lot of different silos managing all types of resources. And obviously that means a duplication of workflows and data. ILS ERM DAM Management Environments

Primo = Library Google Search One-Stop Search Print Electronic Digital
Decoupled & Unified End-User Services Unified Discovery Primo Digital Print Electronic Link So the first thing that the industry and Ex Libris did, was unifying the discovery process. We said, basically, even if we have a complex management environment, we don’t want to expose the users to that. We want to give a simple, unified view that is adequate for the expectations of the “Google generation”. It has to look easy, look simple, has to feel like Google. OPAC looked ancient, and since users are searching on Google multiple times a day, the bar has raised higher than OPAC. So we’ve moved to creating an interface that makes discovery simple across all of the resources. That’s why we call it unified. Now that’s been 3 or 4 years now, now Ex Libris and the industry for that matter are shifting to the management side, saying let’s unify the management aspects. ILS ERM DAM Management Environments 22

Need for Digital Preservation The explosion of digital data – the world is moving digital (this graph show MB per person). Libraries and national libraries in particular were responsible for collecting and preserving the human information. Many of the objects are born digital and will never be and can not be physical. Digital needs special treatment.
Storage-Media Changes …

What is Rosetta? A complete asset management and preservation solution that addresses the ever-growing need to collect, archive and preserve the digitally-born and digitized materials stored at academic institutions, research organizations, and government institutions, ensuring data integrity and access over time to information in digital formats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7cCD6HtamI Complete – we offer a system that includes ingest, data management, dissemination tools, preservation planning module – all the OAIS components in one system. Ever Growing – we understand that the number of digital files will only grow in the future (the IDC report about hexa bytes of data mentioned in the white paper) so there is a need for a scalable system and here the system is built with scalability from the start to allow it to run in a distributed environment (NLNZ will have 8 servers). Memory of nations – the system is designed with National Libraries in mind, it has support for legal deposit, for a wide variety of file formats, curatorial processes etc. Access over time – it is not sufficient to store the information it is crucial to make it accessible and accessible over time – this is why we support preservation actions to ensure that the material are viable and offer on-line access to the information.

Consolidate the Management Frameworks Turn Format-Based Vertical Silos into Service-Based Horizontal Workflows Unified Discovery Primo Preservation Fulfillment & Linking Resource & Metadata Mgmt. And here, as I mentioned before, we are taking those vertical silos, and creating a service-based workflows. Because guess what? Acquisitions for print material and electronic materials have a lot of similarities. Sure there are some unique aspects to each. But the overall workflow of purchasing a resource is not that different. So if we combine those processes together, we can really eliminate a lot of the overhead and duplication. So that’s we’re doing now. So we took each one of the workflows, across each one of the resources, and unifying them. But we’re not just unifying the workflows, we’re also unifying the data associated with that. For example, let’s talk about acquisition. Acquisition is all about taking data from vendors on one hand from materials available, and users needs on the other side. That’s what acquisition is all about – it matches what’s available from providers to the needs of the users. So if I can take information from the vendor on one hand, then on the other hand look at the user’s demands that’s the data that I need to optimise the workflow. So we are unifying all of the workflows, but also all of the data needed to optimise those workflows. Acquisitions Selection Unified Management 35
