1. DanBib and bibliotek.dk – ”physical” and ”virtual” union catalogue Anders-Henrik Petersen Danish Bibliographical Centre (DBC) ahp@dbc.dk automated ILL through Z39.50 automated end user ILL

2. What (and for whom) is? … DanBib bibliotek.dk For the Danish population Content: Danish national bibliography + holdings of Danish Libraries Loan requests are sent to the library used by the end-user User interface: simple and easy – for the general public For library professionals Content: includes records from Library of Congress, BNB, ISSN etc. – for reuse and verification Loan requests: inter library loans (ILL) User interface for the professionals

3. A few facts Bibliotek.dk: http://bibliotek.dk/ http://www.library.dk/ Opened 31.10.2000 2,6 million loan request since opening In 2005: 888.000 (8 months) DanBib: http://netpunkt.dk z39.50s://z3950.dbc.dk:210/danbib Opened 1994 1,2 million loan request in 2004 In 2005: 1.303.000 (8 months)

4. Important components DanBib bibliotek.dk VIP BOB Database of library information's Database of loan requests

5. DanBib ILL-system The DanBib ILL-system mediates ILL-transactions between 4 different types of local library systems z39.50- ILL E-mail- formatted E-mail plain WWW- BOB E-mail- formatted Responding libraryRequesting library

6. ILL through Z39.50 in Denmark Based on: Danish profilation of Z39.50 (’danZIG’) –only a subset of ILL-messages supported –ILL-APDU’s are sent in XML-format Holdings request before ordering Support for ILL-request and ILL-answer in the DanBib ILL-system All subsequent ILL-transactions are performed directly between the two (Z39.50)-library-systems

7. Locals holdings i DanBib - monographs From local holdings

8. Local holdings in DanBib - periodicals From local holdings

10. Some results … Fulfilled ILL-requests (11.09-17.09.2005): LibraryTotalFulfilled % fulfilled Vejle2240219298 % Gentofte2326229999 % Herning1857185099,6 % DPB 730 68293 % Automated ILL-service: faster turnaround time less paper – less mouse work less errors in the handling of ILL savings in staff time

11. Automated end-user initiated ILL through bibliotek.dk The bibliotek.dk-”principle”: Loan requests are sent to the library used by the end-user Not to the library that holds the item … The ILL-transaction is performed by the library staff – often from the BOB-database web And that could be automated!

12. bibliotek.dk-loan requests … … are today handled manually by staff Link to local web catalogue Link to DanBib item order Holdings from local library: - service policy - expected dispatch date

13. Implementing automated end-user loan requests in bibliotek.dk (2006) the end user sends requests to her own library (as usual – nothing changed!) The DanBib ILL-system checks: - does the library accept automated ILL? - are there any supplier-libraries? if positive: which library delivers first? (based on a holdings-request) … and sends an ILL-request from the chosen library to the “first-deliver”-library … without any library staff involved …

14. Technical demands for the libraries For the borrowers (requesting libraries): any (must fill in parameters for automated ILL in the VIP-database) For the lenders (responding libraries): must be able to display holdings in XML (through a Z39.50-present or in another way) but they can receive ILL-requests ”as usual”: - automated or non-automated - through e-mail, BOB or Z39.50-ILL-request

15. The future of the ”Physical/virtual union catalogue” Z39.50 search, holdings and ordering/ILL: ”we are in heaven” - but Z39.50 is not in focus Future developments and new services: web services (SOAP/XML) Further details and references in my paper …
