14. Presentation to e-ICOLC, Denmark, 23 rd October 200314 Provision of a single comprehensive access point to library materials is critical to the continued central role of libraries in information provision Because….. Connecting Consortia

15. Presentation to e-ICOLC, Denmark, 23 rd October 200315   Single comprehensive source like Google   2 billion URLs in 4 years   Leading search engine   Content and comprehensive coverage   Access without learning dbase names; minimum or no training Users are now used to:

16. Presentation to e-ICOLC, Denmark, 23 rd October 200316 The goal is to create a discovery infrastructure based on large regional indexes, so that users can seamlessly access the riches of the world’s libraries.  The creation of the EUCAT index is a core element of this concept.

17. Presentation to e-ICOLC, Denmark, 23 rd October 200317 Global Discovery

18. Presentation to e-ICOLC, Denmark, 23 rd October 200318 Provision of Services  Simple interface hides complexity  Less complex with central indexes  Easier discovery (fewer databases to consult)  Easier delivery (provision of locations with the data)

20. Presentation to e-ICOLC, Denmark, 23 rd October 200320 Why a physical index?  Successful virtual projects – ONE, VCUC, ZLOT etc. but slower  Broadcast searching generally slower as number of target databases increases  Inconsistent  Inconsistent results due to different indexing basic  Common searches few and basic duplicates  Detection of duplicates fails over large result sets  The TEL project is favouring the creation of a centralised index using OAIPMH

21. Presentation to e-ICOLC, Denmark, 23 rd October 200321 EUCAT  Discovery tool (not a union catalogue)  Links  to contributing union catalogues – authentication & authorisation, ILL, & copy cataloguing,  to document supply services for full text, reviews, e-books  Search protocol ZING/SRU and openURL  Update protocols  CBS/PSI pushed directly (NCC, GBV)  OAI, possibly using UCP data structures for modifications and deletions  FTP  Possible enrichment on entry, e.g. Creation FRBR works

22.

23. Presentation to e-ICOLC, Denmark, 23 rd October 200323 EUCAT with its association with WorldCat can provide a gateway to library resources that rivals Google as a gateway to Internet resources. Unlike Google,   always an available copy somewhere   quality of resources more consistent   more precise and complete results   ordered links to reviews, citations, etc.   quality of presentation & navigation
