    1. BadgerCat Update for RCC and LAMS March 3, 2006

    2. Agenda Review BadgerCat development Presenting BadgerCat to users BadgerCat and UB

    3. Background on Wisconsin Group Catalog UW Libraries are Phase 1 participants in BadgerCat pilot project More libraries will be given the option to join during phase 2, beginning July 2006 Initial contract with OCLC runs through June 2008.

    4. Strategic Opportunities Provides an opportunity to create a state-wide catalog, based on OCLC holdings, that links to a wider world of resources Capitalizes on our broad investment in OCLC Provides a customized version of WorldCat to users for resource discovery and resource sharing

    5. 61 phase 1 participants Academic: UW-System Beloit Blackhawk Tech Cardinal Stritch Carroll Carthage Edgewood Lakeland Lawrence Marian Marquette Nashotah House Nicolet Tech Northland St. Norbert Wisconsin Lutheran

    6. Phase 1 participants--Public Eastern Shores Library System L.E. Phillips Public Library Lakeshores Library System Marathon County Public Library South Central Library System Winnefox Library System …And, one Special Library, Wisconsin Veterans Museum

    7. Phase 1 Implementation Committee Representatives on the Implementation Committee from the UW include: Jon Mark Bolthouse—UW Colleges Lee Konrad—UW Madison Valerie Malzacher—CUWL representative Pat Wilkinson—WILS Group Services Committee Steve Elfstrand—UW Eau Claire

    8. You’ve all seen the scopes Wisconsin Libraries Wisconsin Colleges and Universities Wisconsin Independent Colleges and Universities Wisconsin Public Libraries Wisconsin Technical Colleges University of Wisconsin Libraries New Era Libraries South Central Library System Libraries Worldwide

    9. Scopes can be added. Are there any you would recommend? Additional scopes under consideration for phase 2 of the implementation: Geographical All Catholic Libraries in Minnesota UW Colleges CIC Libraries Jesuit Universities

    10. The BadgerCat Database Remember that technically there are now two databases, BadgerCat and WorldCat

    11. Options for presenting BadgerCat to users The choice is yours based on your users’ needs. Link separately to BadgerCat and WorldCat Link to the database selection screen and let user select BadgerCat or WorldCat Choose to default to one or the other Choose to suppress one or the other

    12. BadgerCat/WorldCat and UB UW System representatives met several times with OCLC staff to demonstrate UB functionality in the UW environment. OCLC is strategically interested in developing resource sharing initiatives that utilize local systems

    13. BadgerCat/WorldCat and UB Two goals: Do not replace UB with Illiad (for resource sharing among the UW libraries) in the group catalog environment Make the link from BadgerCat to UB as intuitive for the user as possible.

    14. BadgerCat/WorldCat and UB OCLC agreed to investigate options for a “smart” link User clicks “Get this item” button Behind the scenes functionality using NCIP standards determines how user will get the item, through the local ILS or via Illiad. We are not quite there yet, and we don’t know details about how this will ultimately work.

    15. Three options available now 1. Deeplink to bib record in individual library catalog, check shelf status, place request Advantages Works now Deeplinks using OCLC numbers work consistently to link to bib record (with no rekeying!) Disadvantages User self selects library, has to check shelf status User has to know that by linking to a UW library, UB will be an option

    16. Option 2 2. Interim solution for “smart button” “Get this item” link in bib record Available in May for deployment in BadgerCat If item is held by a UW library, link takes user to simultaneous search If item is not held by a UW library, link takes user to Illiad

    17. Option 2 Advantages First step in the development that we’ve asked OCLC to pursue regarding a truly “smart” button Users are familiar with beginning with a simul search to initiate a UB request Users don’t have to self-select libraries (as in option 1) to initiate a UB Forces users to UB, helping to minimize the number of Illiad requests among UW libraries Disadvantages User has to use simul search and rekey a search

    18. Option 2 UW Libraries can choose if they want to implement this option If you decide to implement, OCLC will configure your BadgerCat autho Decide by April 14 You must have the OpenURL Illiad link configured to employ this option OCLC will provide the opportunity to opt in or out of this solution, most likely on a monthly basis The link to Illiad under “External Resources” will not be suppressed

    19. Option 3 Use SFX Steve Elfstrand has developed a series of Z39.50 catalog lookups for SFX using ISSN and ISBN numbers When deployed in WorldCat/BadgerCat, SFX menu will display links to UW libraries that own the item User can then deeplink to catalog to place a UB request

    20. Option 3 Advantages Users are familiar with SFX functionality If you set up these configurations in SFX, they will be beneficial in other databases that contain monographs (e.g. MLA Bibliography) Disadvantages Won’t work for items without ISBN or ISSN numbers; for videos, CDs, etc., WorldCat will indicate UW holdings but the SFX menu won’t

    21. What will you do? Option 1 has always been available in WorldCat and is available as well in BadgerCat. Getting users to UB functionality is an instruction issue. Implementing option 2 or 3 is a local campus choice.

    22. Please check your UB configurations Configure UB to allow users to place a UB from an individual catalog Steve Elfstrand will provide details

    23. Next steps The implementation team will develop an assessment plan. If you are interested in assisting with this assessment, contact Pat Wilkinson or Valerie Malzacher

    24. That’s all for now Questions?
