Electronic resources Scoping MEMSO (Medieval and early modern sources online) Use of MARCedit software from http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/in dex.php Arts server records
48
Database maintenance Specialist views on data not just needed for public retrieval but also for data maintenance Crucial tools: Create Lists, Global update, batch loading and customised load tables
49
What next? Was this Much Ado About Nothing?
50
Feedback and positive factors User satisfaction Funding bids Adverts for our progress Open Worldcat Records in COPAC
51
Actions for St Andrews More subject and format based feeds More customized subject and format listings for Recent Accessions lists eg IUG presentation by Bob Duncan at IUG Washington http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~library/bd/iugdc/ Iranian studies ideally we need a subject specialist for this material Film studies. More canned searches and feeds would be ideal
52
Actions for St Andrews More analysis of what users want and how users are using the webpac eg Google analytics. See presentation from IUG Washington by Rebekah Kilzer https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/bitstream/1811/31951/1/GA0 804_kilzer.pdf Look more at stats from the system and web access logs Add more web 2.0 features. John Wenzler IUG presentation at http://online.sfsu.edu/~jwenzler/research/webPAC2.pdf
53
Actions for St Andrews More retro to get the info. into our webpacs in the first place. Film studies streaming. Content policy for the webpac currently this is our physical print and av resources and the e resources we purchase. Granularity eg EEBO and ECCO Integrate and adapt to federated searching implementation Sell our webpac some more Look at products like ENCORE
54
System functionality Spellcheck not working with scoped searches Scope retained on canned searches from out with the Millennium server
55
We should be concerned about costs and resources!! Care needed to avoid duplication of data and wasting resources Could we source the information and the specialist searching capabilities from external sources. But the advantages are Added value. Meaningful filters Efficient searching
56
Alls well that ends well
