1. University of Adelaide Library Life Impact The University of Adelaide The well connected catalogue Patricia Scott, Denise Tobin and Helen Attar

2. A well connected catalogue is... One that makes obvious the relationship between one item described in the catalogue and another item One that makes obvious the relationship between one item described in the catalogue and another item Enables the user to easily link to that other related item that has a specific relationship with the first Enables the user to easily link to that other related item that has a specific relationship with the first Enables the user to link to other useful resources that are relevant to the item catalogued Enables the user to link to other useful resources that are relevant to the item catalogued In essence enables the cataloguers’ art to provide a rich fabric for the user to explore In essence enables the cataloguers’ art to provide a rich fabric for the user to explore

3. Some added services to library catalogues under consideration today are... Links to book cover art, links to book reviews and links to online book shops Links to book cover art, links to book reviews and links to online book shops Facility to enable users to annotate titles in the catalogue Facility to enable users to annotate titles in the catalogue Help like “did you mean” or “other books like this” Help like “did you mean” or “other books like this” These can be generated by the system at a “macro level” by mining catalogue data, if we have the systems capability to do it

4. There are many links within the core information in every library catalogue that information in every library catalogue that could take the users easily down paths that could interest them

5. Consider the links provided through catalogue records Links through to other works by the same author, same subject or same series are standard features of a web catalogue Links through to other works by the same author, same subject or same series are standard features of a web catalogue Specific relationship headings and notes are included in the best catalogue records Specific relationship headings and notes are included in the best catalogue records

7. Bibliographic linking – overview Why bib linking? Why bib linking? How does it work? How does it work?

8. Why bib linking? Offers the user the ability to get easily from one bibliographic record to another related record that they might need through specifically created links. Offers the user the ability to get easily from one bibliographic record to another related record that they might need through specifically created links. Connects users to the information they need about the status of the item Connects users to the information they need about the status of the item Is intellectual ‘value adding’ by cataloguers Is intellectual ‘value adding’ by cataloguers

9. Types of Bib-linking used Analysed titles which are part of a serial Analysed titles which are part of a serial Earlier and later journal titles Earlier and later journal titles Links between formats i.e. electronic to print Links between formats i.e. electronic to print Links to titles in electronic datasets Links to titles in electronic datasets

10. How does it work – defining linking relationships - the first ones 09X → 909 child to parent 909 → to 09X parent to child *022a → 780x preceding to succeeding title *035a → 780w *785 → 022a succeeding to preceding *785w → 035a *Pre-set in Voyager

11. Linking relationships – we added more 027 → 035 e-child to e-parent 035 → 027 e-parent to e-child 035 → 776 print to electronic 776 → 022 electronic to print 776 → 035 as above (better than 776 to 022) 762 → 022 parent to sub series 762 → 035 parent to sub series (no 022)

12. Bib linking example 1 Analytics Need for standard structure Need for standard structure Parse call numbers into stems and “pieces” Parse call numbers into stems and “pieces” Matching parent call number in 909 with data in child 090 Matching parent call number in 909 with data in child 090 Click from individual title to parent to see loan status Click from individual title to parent to see loan status

20. The highlighted tags need to be stripped if cloning is used instead

21. Bib Linking example 2 Earlier and later journal titles Standard feature in Voyager Standard feature in Voyager Links ISSNs or systems numbers from subfields x or w Links ISSNs or systems numbers from subfields x or w 780 to 022 or 035 in earlier title 780 to 022 or 035 in earlier title Same with 785 in reverse Same with 785 in reverse

22. Journal record with links to earlier and later titles

23. Journal record showing earlier and later title, where library has later only

25. Electronic journal linking to record of print journal (not as convincing?)

26. Bib Linking example 4 Records for electronic datasets

27. All 5561 Factiva titles are displayed alphabetically and linked

28. “Hotlinks” It is commonplace to find web-enabled links to remote resources in most catalogues where libraries currently purchase those items It is commonplace to find web-enabled links to remote resources in most catalogues where libraries currently purchase those itemshowever MARC supports the provision of URLs in a variety of fields, including notes, which has enabled us to link to the full text of many other related digital resources or documents in a more meaningful way MARC supports the provision of URLs in a variety of fields, including notes, which has enabled us to link to the full text of many other related digital resources or documents in a more meaningful way

42. The future Catalogue software should support interconnections made by cataloguers Catalogue software should support interconnections made by cataloguers Recognise the value of authority control behind headings Recognise the value of authority control behind headings for every author his/her heading, and for every heading only the right books for every author his/her heading, and for every heading only the right books Authority cross references added to keyword data, to supply specific “did you mean?” help Authority cross references added to keyword data, to supply specific “did you mean?” help Authority see also reference to supply “would this interest you?” with low hit queries Authority see also reference to supply “would this interest you?” with low hit queries Systems architects seek advice from record creators Systems architects seek advice from record creators

43. What is required? The well connected catalogue uses links to provide more depth, less clutter in the catalogue and uses the intellectual information provided by cataloguers to assist the user in better choice of items. “the scholarly problem is to imagine ways of working we do not know, to give scholars the means of imagining them”.
