Integrated Library System@BRACU A complete Integrated Library System (ILS) using Open Source Software Koha funded by ELSEVIER Foundation, UK - implement a complete library automation system using open source software Koha and develop ourselves as local resource, and in turn help to build capacity in other libraries who may want to move to automation using Koha. - Convert data from the existing library systems into International Standard format (MARC 21) March 2009 – February 2010 (2007-2015) 5Ayesha Abed Library

Discovery Tool@BRACU Next Generation Open Source Discovery Tool VuFind funded by INASP, UK - to offer access and discover all of BRACU Resources (catalogue records, digital library items, institutional repository, databases, and e-journals) in one single search-and-browse system in a robust, and distributed digital environment. (2007-2015) May 2010-December 2010 7Ayesha Abed Library

COOPERATION, COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION Building next generation Digital Libraries 16Ayesha Abed Library
17
Network of IRs Establish a Network of Institutional Repositories in Bangladesh Academic Institutions to aggregate the digital research output (theses, dissertation etc ) of the member institutions into a single access point for end users. 17Ayesha Abed Library
18
Network of IRs Benefit Expand access to research and impact of research both in Bangladesh and internationally. Increase the amount and diversity of scholarly output Preserve and maintain the research output of academic institutions in the long-term. 18Ayesha Abed Library
19
Network of IRs Benefit Facilitate more timely access to research and scholarship Promote the use of standards and best practices, guaranteeing the international interoperability of their content through OAI-compliance and metadata standards 19Ayesha Abed Library
20
Network of IRs Model Centralized Model Distributed Model Harvesting Model 20Ayesha Abed Library
21
Centralized Model (IRs) Central IR Institution 1 Institution 2 Institution 3 Institution 4...... User sends out a search query Central repository returns aggregated result Each Institution Inputs their data into the central repository 21Ayesha Abed Library
22
Centralized Model (IRs) Advantages Has complete control of the whole process from article deposition through to the user interface Software selection Able to manage preservation issue Disadvantages It is an expensive option It may surpass the existing institutional repositories 22Ayesha Abed Library
23
Distributed Model (IRs) Virtual Interface Institution 1 Institution 2 Institution 3 Institution 4...... User sends out a search query The intermediary virtual interface sends out the search request to individual IR using protocols such as Z39.50, SRU/W Individual Institutional Repository responds with the search results User gets an aggregated result view through the virtual interface 23Ayesha Abed Library
24
Distributed Model (IR) Advantages Providing up-to-date metadata as it provides instant access to source locations of metadata Relatively very less expensive as compared to centralized model Disadvantages No enhancement of metadata Network dependent Not many IRs support Z39.50 or SRU/W 24Ayesha Abed Library
25
Harvested Model Virtual Interface IR 1 IR 2 IR n -1 IR n...... Harvests metadata from individual repository Protocol: (OAI-PMH) User sends in the search query Virtual Interface returns the relevant search results 25Ayesha Abed Library
26
Harvesting Model(IR) Advantages Unqualified Dublin Core is mandated to be OAI-compliant, however, more complex metadata schemas can be employed. The institutional archives employ software which supports OAI-PMH Harvesting can be carried out by automatic scheduled tasks 26Ayesha Abed Library
27
Harvesting Model(IR) Ayesha Abed Library27 Disadvantages Exposed metadata served by the services may not always be updated Needs to support protocols like OAI-PMH Every member Institution will need to follow a fixed set of rules when entering metadata in their respective repositories for ensuring consistency.
28
Which Model to Select? Harvesting Model Harvesting model has many advantages as compared to other models It has gained worldwide acceptance It makes easy to share information about scholarly resources and to offer enhanced resource discovery tools. It has been adopted by thousands of institutions around the world. 28Ayesha Abed Library
29
Establish a Union Catalogue Needs for Union Catalogue Discovery Resource Sharing Copy Cataloguing Cooperative Collection management 29Ayesha Abed Library
30
Union Catalogue Models Distributed Virtual Union Catalog Centralized Union Catalog 30Ayesha Abed Library
31
Distributed Virtual Union Catalog Model Virtual Catalog Institution 1 Institution 2 Institution 3 Institution 4...... User sends out a search query The intermediary Virtual Catalog sends out the search request to individual institutional DB using protocols such as Z39.50 Individual Institutional DB responds with the search results User gets an aggregated result view through the Virtual Catalog Local OPACs 31Ayesha Abed Library
32
Distributed Virtual Union Catalog Model Advantages: Relatively easy to implement Less time and efforts required Easy to extend and Easy to disconnect Real time searching and retrieval in all catalogs 32Ayesha Abed Library
33
Distributed Virtual Union Catalog Model Disadvantages: Slower in retrieving results Limited sorting/relevance Duplicate Searching inefficiencies Varying quality Depends on availability of local OPACs 33Ayesha Abed Library
34
Centralized Union Catalog Model Central Catalog Institution 1 Institution 2 Institution n -1 Institution n...... User sends out a search query Central Catalog returns aggregated result Each Institution Inputs their library catalog data into the Central Catalog Local OPACs 34Ayesha Abed Library
35
Centralized Union Catalog Model Advantages: More accurate search results Such results returned quickly for large groups Built it once, less individual configuration necessary Centralizes the cost of technical support Minimize Cataloging cost sharing bibliographic records Consistent indexing and Searching policy 35Ayesha Abed Library
36
Centralized Union Catalog Real-time information Disadvantages: Problems in merging libraries which already have their own library systems Requires a greater degree of collaboration in terms of cataloguing and indexing policies Requires increase in network speed and relibility 36Ayesha Abed Library
37
Which Model to Select? What are we trying to achieve? What are our current members using? What standards are implemented? What services we like to offer? 37Ayesha Abed Library
38
Which Model to Select? Select Virtual Model Approach Members already have LIS Systems and OPAC Members uses different Systems, Catalogoing Rules and Standards Difficult to apply same standards and policies Target to support end users with greater exposer and additional services 38Ayesha Abed Library
39
Which Model to Select? Select Centralized Model Approach Members don’t have LIS Systems and Online Accessible Catalogues. Target to Unify cataloguing Rules and Standards. Target to minimize cost, and control cataloguing At the same time target to support end users with greater exposer and additional services Own the appropriate network (Speed and reliability) 39Ayesha Abed Library
