  1. Effective and automated handling of end user requests in Danish National Union catalogue 10th IFLA ILDS Conference 2007Singapore, 29th – 31st October 2007 Anders-Henrik Petersen & Rikke LoseDanish Bibliographic Centre (DBC)ahp@dbc.dk rlo@dbc.dk

  2. Denmark – Northern Europe Inhabitants: 5.4 mio. National libraries: 2University and research libraries: 186Public libraries: 98

  3. For the Danish population Content: Danish national bibliography + holdings of Danish Libraries User interface: simple and easy – for the general public – English version Loan requests are sent to the library used by the end-user http://bibliotek.dk For library professionals Content: as bibliotek.dk plus records from Library of Congress, BNB, ISSN etc. – for reuse and verification User interface for the professionals Loan requests: inter library loans (ILL) DanBibbibliotek.dk

  4. And this could be done automatically! Why automate?Manual handling of bibliotek.dk requests

  5. Why automate? Benefits: • Less manual work • Better turnaround time • Better service to end users

  6. Automate what? Let the ILL-server (and not the staff): • Find the libraries that have the item • Find the library that delivers first, within the time limit specified by the end user • Turn the loan request into an ILL-request to the lending library • And – the end user is not involved in the ILL-process!

  8. Solving the edition problemFRBR-inspired display and ordering of records

  9. Solving the policy issues • Mutual accept • requesting and responding libraries • Each requesting library specifies which libraries to send requests to (or all) • Each library specifies: • Automate or not for each material type • The title must be older than xxx days

  10. Modelautomated ILL-requests from bibliotek.dk

  11. Results so far Launched 8th May 2007 Status October 2007: • 104 libaries generate automated ILL-Requests (possible: 262) • 101 libaries receive automated ILL-Requests (possible: 160)

  12. September 2007 • Requests from bibliotek.dk • Total number of requests: 97596 • Automated ILL-Requests: 48059 • Not automated requests: 41606 • Held by users library: 7931 • ”Automation ratio”: • 53,5 % 48059*2/60 = 1600 hrs. of work saved

  13. September 2007- public libraries Hvidovre Public Library • Total bibliotek.dk-requests: 940 • From this, automated requets: 602 • That is 64% Copenhagen Public Library • Total bibliotek.dk-requests: 9491 • From this, automated requets: 5454 • That is 57%

  14. Further development (2008) Most important: • A new option: only automate the request if the material is on shelf in the responding library • A new option: automate requests for material held in the user’s library if it is not on shelf
