7th Nordic NVBF-ILL-Conference

Short overview … 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: as bibliotek.dk

plus records from Library of Congress, BNB, ISSN etc. – for reuse and verification

• Loan requests: inter library loans (ILL)

• User interface for the professionals

The technology behind ….

The automated ILL in DanBib is based on: • Danish profilation of the Z39.50-

standard (’danZIG’)• ILL-services supported: ordering (ILL-

request) and and reply (ILL-answer) • To come: exchange of material number,

cancel- and renewal services• XML!

Automated end-user initiated ILL through bibliotek.dk

• In bibliotek.dk: 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!

Implementing automated end-user loan requests in bibliotek.dk (2006)

• the end user sends requests to her own library (as today – nothing changed!)

• The DanBib ILL-system checks: - does the library accept automated ILL? - are there any supplier-libraries? - which library delivers first?

• … and sends an ILL-request from the chosen library to the “first-deliver”-library

• … without any library staff involved …

Technical demands for the libraries

For the borrowers (requesting libraries):

• any!

For the lenders (responding libraries):

• must be able to display holdings in XML

•but they can receive ILL-requests ”as usual”:

- automated or non-automated- through e-mail, BOB or Z39.50-ILL-

request

Further plans:

• A switch to XML: all communication will exchange valid XML-documents

• ISO-ILL-services: SHIPPED, CANCEL, RENEW, OVERDUE

• Alternative(s) to z39.50: SRU-Webservices

As a precondition for:• More automation, more services, (a

more) service orientated architecture• Hear more tomorrow!

Thank you !
