Why do libraries network? (1) • Cataloguing – Copy-cataloguing (exchange of records) – Search access (useful for ILL!) – Collective catalogues (e. g. Worldcat) • merged catalogues or virtual joint catalogue • importance of standards for metadata (MARC 21, Dublin Core) and exchange of information (Z 39. 50) – Integrated library management system (e. g. LIBIS-Net. . . ) • cataloguing, circulation, acquisition, user control. . . • historical shift from dedicated terminals to client/server system to direct web interfaces 17 -9 -2002 Serenate 2

New model for scholarly communication • Network of institutional e-print archives – inspired by Los Alamos “ar. Xiv” (Ginsparg) – metadata exchange through OAI metadata protocol – harvesters provide intelligent access to documents • Valuable alternative for commercial journals? – financially competitive – ideal for author-paid model – problems to make it acceptable to research community • Validation method (peer review) – – important success factor technical solution still lacking collaboration from learned societies requested Internet allows for new methods for evaluation and impact measurement 17 -9 -2002 Serenate 6
Requirements • Interface software for (simultaneous) search and retrieval access to diverse database systems (different standards, metadata-sets, languages, . . . ) • Intelligent full-text search engine • Foolproof quality label management system for peer review control • Fast exchange of large multimedia files • Enormous potential for wireless communication applications 17 -9 -2002 Serenate 7
