1
Web Discovery and Millennium Integrating Millennium with Summon Helen Bronleigh Library Systems Coordinator
2
Background Implemented Summon in late 2010 Shared Millennium database – Murdoch University – City of Rockingham – Challenger Institute (Rockingham and Peel) – Mandurah Senior College (Peel) – Warnbro Community High School – Dept of Food and Agriculture WA
3
What to include? Everything except DAFWA – Too difficult to separate out City of Rockingham and Mandurah SC items – Murdoch students and staff can request from these collections via Millennium – Difficulties associated with mapping DAFWA collections – DAFWA collections not accessible to students and staff via Millennium
4
Data Mapping Used bibliographic fixed fields where possible instead of MARC leader and control fields to specify content types rather than leader codes Some tidying up of metadata was needed for certain content types, e.g.,microforms. Series title
5
Data export Daily update files sent by ftp
6
Reserve and ereserve ereserve items harvested and covered by content type facet Course Reading reserve items harvested but not included in the Location facet. Reserve is not a bibliographic location course records not harvested – Not possible to limit by a unit name – Separate unit (course) listings maintained
7
Record display in Summon
8
Facets and limits Limit to items in the catalogue Facets for content type, subject, publication date, library location, language Additional local content specific facets – Author, genre, region, time period
9
Resource records Resource records are not harvested Brief bibliographic records included for individual databases to enhance discovery Recommender feature in Summon overcomes this to some extent
10
Changes to workflows Change to Bibliographic record deletion procedures – Records coded for deletion at each branch – Daily file of deleted and updated records sent to Serials Solutions – Records deleted from Millennium after load to Summon – Permission to delete restricted to limited number of staff
11
ebooks Should you include records for ebooks in the catalogue? If titles are selected in the Summon knowledgebase, do you need catalogue records? Duplication issues?
12
ebooks EBL titles – Catalogued (Vendor supplied records) – Not selected in Summon – Authentication requirements – Easier to manage demand driven purchasing Other Purchased ebooks – Catalogued and selected in Summon Free ebook collections – Not catalogued (mostly) – Selected in Summon
13
Impact on Clients Effect on WebPAC searches – Little change in overall number of searches – Fewer index searches, more record number searches Feedback from clients – Some negative feedback on ability to find known items Feedback from client services librarians – Like to be able to limit to just items in the catalogue
14
Other CJK display not available yet Non-marc records? Series?
