User interface Present state and challenges Library Portal Museums and Archives Digi-arkistot (julkaisu-arkistot, Digitalia) Digital Archives and Instit. Archives Other systems i.e. Learning environ- ments MetaLib Meta search SFX linking resolver (journal articles and ebooks) Local Library Systems Back end Owned resources Licensed e-resources
Solution: New System Architecture andPublic Interface Separating user interface from back end systems Hiding back end systems from users A common Public Interface will replace current user interfaces (library systems, portals, institutional archives, DPS…) The public interface is one installation for many institutions (many views)
What is there for users? Users do not need to know: organisations or collections Users can: Reach all services they need Reach different kind of collections Customize the service to their liking
And more... Organisations can tailor the interface to meet their users' needs The idea is to bring the service to users' working environments (such as e-science and learning environments) and to social networking forums
Content Users will have access to: Public domain material available for all Material with restricted / authorised use: Licensed material (e.g. scientific journals, e-books) Material with restricted display and use (e.g. archive material)
Public interface: searchable content in 2011 50 million database references 2 million pages of newspapers 2 million pages of archive material hundreds of thousands photographs and museum objects licenced material: 300 000 e-books, 20 000 e-journals 13
