Company Logo The Realization of Resource Sharing on Campus Network  “No investigation, no right to speak.” After complete investigation, we decided to resolve resource-sharing problems start with reference rooms’ periodicals. A periodical retrieval system will be built in INNOPAC System where series of periodical information possessed by each reference room can be accessed.  It is a general method for sharing periodical information that periodical bibliographic items which have been preprocessed by catalogers are added into INNOPAC System one after another. However, it is a complex and inefficient work.  According to the investigation, we abandoned the general method and chose a simple way to realize resource sharing.

Company Logo The Steps to Publish Periodical Information of Reference Rooms 1 Various training projects must be on the top of the list, for the staffers in reference rooms should master the INNOPAC system very well. 2 The questionnaire about periodicals in reference rooms should be sent out, for it is a good way to collect periodical information. 3 According to the analysis of the questionnaire, new entries will be added in INNOPAC System; meanwhile, we choose 996 field to describe the information where the periodical come from. 4 For a hyperlink is added in INNOPAC system, users can access the Chinese and foreign language periodical collections in reference rooms on library’s website.
