E-resource survey 2005 • 98% provide access via library catalogue • 41% selectively report holdings to the NBD • Reasons for non-contribution: • 54% said catalogue access is sufficient • 46% said licencing restrictions placed on document supply • 28% said other reasons including: workload in maintaining NBD holdings/URLS; don’t want ILL requests • 64% include advice on resource access restrictions in their records/holdings

  3. E-resource survey 2005 (2) • 90% provide onsite access for library patrons • 80% provide remote access for library patrons • 35% provide walk-in onsite access • 17% provide document supply

  4. NBD Coverage • 660,000 records flagged as e-resources • 138,000 of these represent Australian resources

  5. Libraries Australia • Australian e-collections • Aggregator neutral records • Serials Solutions agreement • Investigate other sources of e-resource data • Addition of URLs for resources in major digitisation projects (e.g. million book project)

  7. Expert Advisory Group (2) • Include e-resource management services in national consortium licencing proposals • Include provision for Australian library holdings from these services to be copied to the ANBD • Establish a wiki to facilitate discussion of e-resource workflow issues • Consult with Libraries Australia users as to whether it would be desirable to produce guidelines for the cataloguing of physical format e-resources

  8. Expert Advisory Group (3) • Consider adding a new encoding level to flag machine generated records and those converted to MARC 21 from other schema such as Dublin Core • Request a change to MARC 21 bibliographic and holdings formats to support a flag for “freely available” online resources • Develop a link checking service • Encourage libraries to maintain URLs contributed in NBD records
