  3. Background of the project • Long history of GPO/OCLC cooperation • PURLs • FDLP/ERIC Pilot • Current project in planning since late 1999 • “Build us an archive and the tools to use it”

  4. What will the project accomplish? • An offsite, vendor-maintained archive • A “toolkit” for processes • Defined set of preservation metadata • Integration of workflow and tools

  5. Currently, we use a wide variety of tools to acquire, classify, track, distribute, archive, and catalog: ACSIS DDIS PAMALA OCLC Prism Teleport Pro FTP Manual systems What kind of “toolkit”?

  6. ACSIS DDIS PAMALA OCLC Prism Teleport Pro FTP Manual systems They help us create, gather, and store data about the publications What’s the common denominator?

  7. What do we do with the data? • Archive for permanence • Catalog for bibliographic access • Track for internal production standards • Manage the FDLP Electronic Collection

  8. The Goal of the Project • is to create a set of integrated tools and processes that will help us cope with the ever-increasing number of electronic publications and take the best possible advantage of technology

  9. Initially Gather data out of the acquisition and classification process Track electronic pubs beginning with identification Route pubs to the GPO archive Create preservation metadata Eventually Assist discovery (electronic gray bins) Route pubs to multiple archives, including GPO, partners, and OCLC “Digital Vault” Assist in managing pubs in the archive What will “it” do?

  10. What will “it” do? • Provide a platform for various processes: • Acquisition • Classification • Cataloging • Archive management

  11. When? • First phase rolled out in September, 2001 • Phase 2 begins April, 2002

  12. Will it replace systems we use now? • Not initially. It will work in tandem with current systems and processes. In some cases it will exchange data directly, in others not.
