  4. 1. Growth of e-books in CityU (cont’d) • Acquisition of e-books from 2001 onwards Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  5. 1. Growth of e-books in CityU (cont’d) Total > 200,000 titles Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  6. 1. Growth of e-books in CityU (cont’d) • Major e-book collections Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  7. 1. Growth of e-books in CityU (cont’d) • E-theses Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  8. 1. Growth of e-books in CityU (cont’d) • Consortial acquisition of e-books • Digital Dissertation Consortium – since 2005 • Apabi D-Lib Consortium – since 2006 • NetLibrary Super E-book Consortium – since 2006 • New consortia • Electronic Resources Academic Library Link (ERALL), a JULAC project on collective e-book collection development Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  9. 1. Growth of e-books in CityU (cont’d) • Growth of e-book usages (from CGI Logs) -- showed an uprising trend Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  10. 2. Duplication problems The variety of e-book collections and high number of titles created problems in cataloguing A major problem-> Title duplication • We load records supplied by different vendors, resulted in title duplication • More e-book titles, more title duplication • same title from different collections • same title from same collection Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  11. 2. Duplication problems (cont’d) • Duplication from different collections Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  12. 2. Duplication problems (cont’d) • Duplication from the same collection • NetLibrary collection • Titles purchased by CityU since 2001 • Titles acquired via Super-ebook Consortium Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  13. Same title from NetLibrary acquired in different period 2. Duplication problems (cont’d) Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  14. 2. Duplication problems (cont’d) • Duplication from the same collection (cont’d) • UMI e-theses • Titles purchased by CityU since 2002 • Titles acquired via Digital Dissertation Consortium • Titles in ProQuest Database Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  15. 2. Duplication problems (cont’d) Same UMI e-thesis title acquired in different period Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  16. 3. Attempted solutions • Single record approach in cataloguing • We apply single record approach for all e-versions of the same title • Applied to e-books and e-journals Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  17. 3. Attempted solutions (cont’d) • Duplication control in e-journals • CityU applied and modified BU’s program to merge e-journal titles from aggregator databases Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  18. 3. Attempted solutions (cont’d) • Duplication control through manual methods • For e-books, our previous solutions • Manual checking • Headings reports – duplicate call numbers • Loading through match field 001 – identify duplicate records • Encounter basis • Okay when the number of titles remains small Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  19. 3. Attempted solutions (cont’d) • Duplication control through customized load profiles • The first attempt to automate the procedure • Utilized the local load profiles and translation table in INNOPAC to merge 2 sets of NetLibrary titles • Super E-book Consortium titles purchased in 2006 • NetLibrary titles purchased since 2001 • 2,206 titles were found duplicated Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  20. 3. Attempted solutions (cont’d) • Duplication control through customized load profiles (cont’d) • Using load profiles is not a complete solution • Cannot match multiple tags (cannot match tag 020 against tag 024) • Cannot match selected sets (cannot exclude print titles) • Cannot merge multiple records automatically; must output for manual checking to decide the master record Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  21. 4. Effective Solutions • Cataloguing worked with Systems to run de-duplication and merging of records • Prerequisite • easy to apply • able to fit in the existing workflow • have flexibility to handle different sizes of e-book batches • allow prompt or ad hoc loading of records if necessary Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  22. 4. Effective Solutions (cont’d) • Scope of de-duplication • Include English e-books and e-theses • e-books: 88,000 records • e-theses: 70,000 records Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  23. 4. Effective Solutions (cont’d) • Scope of de-duplication (cont’d) • Exclude Chinese e-books because • CityU so far only has one Chinese e-book collection, Apabi. • Vendor supplied unique records when we joined the Apabi D-Lib consortium (no duplication with previously purchased titles) • We will also handle Chinese e-books if we acquire other Chinese e-book collections in the future Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  24. 4. Effective Solutions (cont’d) • What fields to match? • E-books • Match ISBN – a relatively reliable tag • Match major MARC tags – 110 match key • UMI e-theses • Use UMI number for matching Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  25. 4. Effective Solutions (cont’d) • How to merge? • Set the one with the earliest Create Date as the master record • Add reproduction note (tag 533), name of book collection (tag 773) and URL link (tag 856) of the duplicate record(s) to the master record Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  26. 4. Effective Solutions (cont’d) • Matching algorithm of ISBN • Print ISBN vs. e-book ISBN • Some records come with print ISBN, some with e-book ISBN, some with both • Both types are used for matching • Different tags to store ISBN • 020 $a, $z • 024 (1st indicator 3) $a, $z • 776 $z • All the above are used for matching Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  27. 4. Effective Solutions (cont’d) • Matching algorithm of ISBN (cont’d) • 13-digit ISBN vs. 10-digit ISBN • Starting on 1 Jan 2007, the ISBN is 13-digit • Some publishers already used 13-digit ISBN before that • Starting from 12 Nov 06, OCLC moves 13-digit ISBN to tag 020 • 13-digit ISBN with prefix “978” may have 10-digit equivalents, they are converted to 10-digit for matching Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  28. 4. Effective Solutions (cont’d) • Matching algorithm of ISBN (cont’d) • ISBN with “noise” • Some ISBN include a note enclosed in parentheses • Do not use ISBN for matching if the text inside the parentheses indicates that the ISBN is for a set, a series, or a volume etc. e.g. “0415191327 (series : International library of psychology)” • Hints: look for keywords “set”, “series” and compare with Tag 440 and Tag 830 Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  29. 4. Effective Solutions (cont’d) • Matching algorithm of the 110 Match Key • To guarantee there is no mismatch by ISBN, construct additional match key based on INN-Reach 110 Match Key Title + Gen. Media + Pub. Year + Pagination + Edition + Publisher + Type of Record + Title Part + Title Number • Constructed the key and normalized • Refer to INN-Reach documentation for details Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  30. 5. De-duplication jobs • Initial clean-up • Regular de-duplication Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  31. 5. De-duplication jobs (cont’d) • Initial clean-up • One time -- to de-duplicate records that had been loaded • 6,063 (7.2%) duplicate records were found, out of 84,756 English e-book titles • Fine tune program after initial clean-up Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  32. 5. De-duplication jobs (cont’d) • Regular de-duplication • Once every month • Flexibility • Depends on no. of title loaded & urgency to load the records • Clean-up before loading vs. clean-up after loading Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  33. 5. De-duplication jobs (cont’d) • Regular de-duplication (cont’d) • Procedures • Output e-book records from catalogue • Run de-duplication program to match with vendor records • Overlay records in catalogue with merged records • If vendor records have been loaded delete duplicate vendor records from catalogue • Else insert new vendor records into catalogue Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  34. Vendor Vendor records INNOPAC Match & Merge Master records Merged Duplicated New Overlay Delete Insert INNOPAC 5. De-duplication jobs (cont’d) • Flow chart Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  35. 5. De-duplication jobs (cont’d) • De-duplication results • Initial clean-up of e-books Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  36. 5. De-duplication jobs (cont’d) • De-duplication results • Initial clean-up of e-books (cont’d) Distribution of titles merged from 2 records Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  37. 5. De-duplication jobs (cont’d) • De-duplication results • Initial clean-up of e-books (cont’d) • We found that for the duplicated titles within the same collection, some will direct users to different e-books, this problem is more serious in ebrary. • Fine-tune program, add the condition: When two matched records have the same CGI scripts (i.e. belong to the same collection) but different book IDs, do not merge them, but flag for review Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  38. 5. De-duplication jobs (cont’d) • De-duplication results (cont’d) • Initial clean-up of e-theses Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  39. 5. De-duplication jobs (cont’d) • De-duplication results • Initial clean-up of e-theses (cont’d) Distribution of titles merged from 2 records (DDC = Digital Dissertation Consortium) More than 4,000 DDC & ProQuest records had been de-duplicated with manual process (using 001 field) before the initial clean-up process. Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  40. 6. Benefits and limitations • Benefits • Single record for all versions of the same e-book or e-thesis titles, maintain integrity in the library catalogue • Save much staff time & manual effort • Method applicable to other e-resources • Management need – generate duplication statistics • Can be applied to match existing e-book collections with e-book titles supplied by potential vendors – e-book collection development Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006

  41. 6. Benefits and limitations (cont’d) • Limitations • Depends on data in vendor-supplied records • Incorrect match and merge in case of incorrect or incomplete data • Chinese e-book records • Brief bibliographic data • Lack of standardization in transcription • Difficult to construct reliable match-key • Sometimes lack of ISBNs Maintaining the intergrity of e-book titles in CityU library catalogue, 7th HKIUG, 2006
