  1. Extensions to library services through the RIDING Z39.50 Gateway Peter Stubley University of Sheffield Library

  2. what is a C L U M P ? • An aggregation of catalogues • may be ‘physical’ – a union catalogue – or ‘virtual’– created at the time of searching • <http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/dlis/models/models3.html>

  3. International Clumping • vCuc: <http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/resource/vcuc/> • CIC VEL: <http://www.cic.uiuc.edu/> • UNIverse: <http://www.fdgroup.co.uk/research/universe/> • DBV OSI-II:<http://www.ddb.de/partner/dbv-osi_ii_engl.htm> • ZedWeb: <http://www.dstc.edu.au/RDU/ZedWeb/>

  5. Clumping in Yorkshire

  6. Z39.50 Gateway to Yorkshire Libraries • Yorkshire and Humberside Universities Association: • University of Bradford • University of Huddersfield • University of Hull • University of Leeds • Leeds Metropolitan University • Lincolnshire & Humberside University • University of Sheffield • Sheffield Hallam University • University of York

  7. Other Consortium members • Leeds Library & Information Services • British Library Document Supply Centre • Fretwell-Downing Informatics

  8. Aims • Large-scale demonstration of Z39.50 • Enhancement of existing collaboration • Demonstration of cross-sectoral collaboration • Development of collection level profiles

  9. Z39.50 common knowledge • Search discrepancies • attributes

  10. Z39.50 common knowledge • Search discrepancies • attributes • Certainly not plug and play

  11. Z39.50 common knowledge • Search discrepancies • attributes • Certainly not plug and play • More ‘Plug and prey’

  12. Z39.50 common knowledge • Search discrepancies • attributes • Certainly not plug and play • More ‘Plug and prey’ • Could result in lowering of end-user confidence

  13. Z39.50 common knowledge • Search discrepancies • attributes • Certainly not plug and play • More ‘Plug and prey’ • Could result in lowering of end-user confidence • Reports on the web: • <http://www.cic.uiuc.edu/CIC/cli/z39-50report.htm> • <http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/resource/vcuc/ezarl2.htm>

  14. Extensions to services • Access and authentication • RIDING Access Policy • Inter-Library Loans

  15. Access and authentication • Free access; but authentication for ‘value-added’ services • Different ATHENS3 implementations across consortium members • Gateway authentication a pragmatic, immediate way forward

  16. Access Policy (RAP) • A brand new agreement, resulting out of RIDING • Free access and borrowing to researchers in all academic and public RIDING libraries • RIDING Access Card

  17. Inter-Library Loans • Software provides a direct link between search and request activities • Potential problems with • User eligibility • Holdings information, particularly for distributed library services • Existing installed ILL systems • RIDING as a project • Relations with BLDSC

  18. VDX advantages • ISO ILL Protocol (ISO 10160/1) • Automatic messaging for all ILL processes • Tracking at each process stage • Management of items supplied • Automatic routing • Ability to use non-standard e-mail formats

  19. Where do we go from here? • RAP to be ratified in next few weeks • ‘Quiet’ roll-out from August 1999 • Full operational service from October 1999

  20. Where do we go from here? • RAP to be ratified in next few weeks • ‘Quiet’ roll-out from August 1999 • Full operational service from October 1999 • Evaluation, particularly end-user reactions • Inter-clumping • A broader vehicle within the YHUA • Document delivery/direct end-user charging

  21. What did RIDING ever do for us? • Co-operation and working together for the common good • Preparation of an access policy across the region for the benefit of all researchers • Exploring pro-active interlending • Continuing good relations with BLDSC • Exploring cross-sectoral links
