INNOPAC at Waseda UniversityLibrary: 3 years experience Masatsugu KANEKO (mkaneko@mn.waseda.ac.jp)Waseda University Library Hong Kong INNOPAC Users Group Meeting December 2001
Waseda University • Founded in 1882 • Now has: • 9 undergraduate schools • 12 graduate schools • 15 research and education institutes • 44,160 undergraduate and 6,008 graduate students (as of end April, 2001) • 5 large campus libraries & 27 small libraries • 2 university museums
Library overview(data as of March 31, 2001) • 4,540,885 books (2,049,702 in Central Library) • Currently subscribing19,823 serial titles • 1,224,736 users/year (Central Library) • Number of staff: 98 (Central Lib.: 61) *since Dec. 2001 (part-timers excluded) • Special collections include 2 “National treasures”(incidentally both Chinese classics:<禮記子本疏義> <玉篇>)
History of WINE(Waseda Univ. Scholarly Information Network System) • From May 1987 to Nov. 1998 • Japanized and “Wasedanized” DOBIS/LIBIS (IBM) • Since Nov. 1998 • Japanized INNOPAC (Innovative Interfaces) • First user of INNOPAC in Japan
Current Status of WINE • Recent numbers (Dec. 4, 2001) • 1,603,262 bib records • 3,179,204 item records • 17,502 check-in records • OPAC Access • 4,261,490 searches (2000.4- 2001.3)
Background for system change • Cost-cutting • down-sizing • no customization • Needs for a new interface • from text-only to GUI • WWW compatibility • Y2K problem • IBM unwilling to support DOBIS/LIBIS
Our considerations • Large amount of data and quick response • Bib records should be stored in MARC format • Different loan rules • A “package product” rather than customizing
Japanization of INNOPAC • Shift-JIS as external code (internally EACC) • US MARC format for cataloging Japanesematerials with 3 different subfields • “Tochu index” for keyword search (now replaced by Advanced keyword search) • Translating messages into Japanese
Achievement of the new WINE • New OPAC interface greatly satisfying users • Simplifying works (serials, statistics etc.) • More libraries participating to the system • Loan rule unification, “check-in everywhere”and e-mail notification • Z39.50 server established (first case in Japan) • UNICODE version soon available to public And many others!
Problem we are facing now Waseda University Library is happy with INNOPAC EXCEPT: A large number of “not processed” transactions hindering greatly our operations ! * Observable through “M-I-F-S” for “System status”, showing sometimes thousands !
Cooperation with OCLC • Retrospective cataloging project since 1988 (for Japanese materials) • Data evaluation by OCLC (very positive result) • Agreement for exchange (WINE/OCLC, Dec.1993) • 282,980 records loaded to OCLC (Dec. 1995) • System change (from D/L to INNOPAC, Nov. 1998) • Additional 277,481 records loaded (Nov. 2001)* Loading on a regular basis being planned.
For future development • Integrated Multi-Archiving Service (IMAS) In operation since April 2001 • Meeting user needs for more e-journals and DB services on the Web • In quest of establishing consortia in Japan • Enhancement of international cooperationincluding of course East Asian !
承蒙垂聽,表示感謝 Thank you very much!
