Starting 1997A new funding program for Retrospective
Digitisation of Library Materials is launched by the
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) (German Research Foundation)
13./14.03.2000 6
Grants about 3 - 4 million DM per year for all German projects (currently 35 projects receive grants from the DFG)
13./14.03.2000 7
• The overall goals of the national program :online access to relevant research collection
in libraries;parallel access to frequently used literature;digital availability of collections with
difficulties in conventional accessadvanced use of lesser-known library
collections
13./14.03.2000 8
DigiZeit - Overall goals• Enabling and improving access to core
journals from German publishers -focussing on the German system of distributed special subject collections
• Improving infrastructure for information circle
• Increased global visibility for German scientific journals via online presentation
13./14.03.2000 9
Schedule• Starting point: 1.2.99 with feasibility study,
performed by Göttingen State and University Library, project officer Stefan Cramme
• Finalising the feasibility study (autumn 2000)
• Proposal for grants to the DFG (end of 2000)

Selection of Journals I• Selection criteria
Overall goal: selecting journals with a high relevance for research and high frequency in usage
Recommendations from scholars and scientists (selective survey)
Citation in (recommending) bibliographiesAnalysis in review journals and Citation
indicesAvailability in German libraries
13./14.03.2000 13
Selection of Journals II
57 journals from 14 fields have been selected (ca. 3 Mio. pages)
13./14.03.2000 14
Selection of Journals III• Anglo-american Studies
• Economics
• Demography
• Library Science
• Geology
13./14.03.2000 15
Selection of Journals IV• Library Science
• Geology
• German Studies
• History
• Arts (after 1945)
13./14.03.2000 16
Selection of Journals V• History
• Modern Philology

• Romance Studies
• Sociology• National Economy
13./14.03.2000 17
Publishers, e.g.• Duncker & Humblot• Otto Harrassowitz• Vittorio Klostermann• Max Niemeyer• Recht und Wirtschaft• Westdeutscher Verlag
13./14.03.2000 18
Publishers IIFirst meeting between libraries and
publishers: March, 2, 2000 in Goettingen• mainly positive response - general wish
to build up a prototype-server till autumn• licensing for the 1 phase may be cleared
soon• “moving wall”-principle (<US-JSTOR)• the majority of the journals does
currently only exist in print form
13./14.03.2000 19
Publishers IIIProblems to solve:
the German copyright knows the right for digital use on publisher site only for newer articles
for articles from back volumes the copyright has to be clarified with the authors
Possible Partner for negotiations: Verwertungsgesellschaft (VG) Wort (collecting society)
13./14.03.2000 20
Organisational ModelConsiderations
Building up a Non-for-Profit-Organisation?
Document server, access - outsourcing to an external service provider? Or using existing library capacity ?
13./14.03.2000 21
Pricing and availability • Subscription from Universities and
Libraries• Proposed: annual fee for recovering
maintenance costs and allowing extension of production
• Price structure: to be defined (US-JSTOR as model?)
13./14.03.2000 22
Production • Technical aspects (s./h. “Production” lecture)• Combination from outsourcing and in-house
work• local responsibility for journals in the
respective subject areas (preparation for scanning, using local copies)
• Central co-ordination of the production process, contact to external vendors, specification of technical parameters, definition of time schedules...
13./14.03.2000 23
Access I• Indexing of articles, probably reviews,
footnotes (including indexes, abstracts)• Proposed: full-text search (depending on
the degree of automation for OCR-ing, cost factor)
• Delivering images on the screen, enabling full-text search in the background - possibly highlighting search terms in the images (s. “Production” lecture)
13./14.03.2000 24
Access II• Proposed: Unique access point of
retrodigitised volumes and current electronic volumes on one system
• Providing high quality print-output• Technical system: to be defined;
Essential: based on a database solution (e.g. extended AGORA)
13./14.03.2000 25
Outlook for DigiZeitReaching agreements with (the majority?) of publishers/authors
Definition of technical and organisational standards for the production process
Implementation of a Demo-Server with sample volumes
Co-operation with related projects/activities in the U.S. (e.g. JSTOR), Europe (e.g. DIEPER, NL - Delta...)
13./14.03.2000 26
DigiZeit is open for practical recommendations and suggestions
