  9. Exchange format • MARC is generally not in use • German exchange format is MAB (Maschinelles Austauschformat für Bibliotheken), developed by Die Deutsche Bibliothek • PICA format: a derivation of MARC

  10. Multiple volumes • Hierarchical structure (not compatible with American flat structure), • see also: Project Reuse: http://webdoc.sub.gwdg.de/ebook/aw/reuse/index.htm

  11. PICA GBV • Lower Saxony was the first state to use the PICA system in Germany • Today seven states belong to the GBV (Gemeinsamer Bibliotheksverbund – Joint Library Network): Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Mecklenburg-West Pomerania), Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxony-Anhalt), Schleswig-Holstein, Thüringen (Thuringia)

  12. PICA Webdoc • University Library of Göttingen was partner of the Webdoc project (1995-1998) cataloging electronic resources which are stored on our own server in Göttingen • Special cataloging rules for this project • Joint catalog database in Leiden

  14. SUB Göttingen and CORC • Project funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) • First user meeting in Dublin/Ohio • Small project group in Göttingen: special knowledge (MARC/AACR2) needed

  15. Selection of electronic resources • Resources stored on our library server (many PDF resources!) • Digitized travel literature of the 19th century (offline) • Selections from our Subject Gateways

  16. Electronic resources on our library server • Documents regarding our special core collections (Library science, Anglo-American history and culture, earth sciences, mathematics, ...) • Format: mostly PDF! • Umlaut problem! • Dewey index

  17. Digitized travel literature (19th century) • Initial project of our digitization center (GDZ) • Record conversion from PICA to MARC • Offline delivery to CORC

  18. Selections from our Subject Gateways Subject Gateways (data model is Dublin Core based, several quality criterias regarding maintenance and selection etc.): • Geo-Guide (earth sciences, geography, thematic maps, mining): http://www.Geo-Guide.de/ • MathGuide (mathematics): http://www.MathGuide.de/

  19. Other special Subject Gateways • Anglo-American History Guide: http://www.HistoryGuide.de/ • Anglo-American Anglistik Guide: http://www.AnglistikGuide.de/
