Integrating Digital Libraries and Traditional Libraries: A Model for Sustaining NSDL Collections iLumina Research Team University of North Carolina at Wilmington
Project Goals • Create a widely applicable model for sustaining NSDL collections beyond the period of their NSF funding • Develop a method for enhancing access to the educational resources contained in individual collections that comprise the NSDL
Objectives for Goal 1 • Integrate the storage of iLumina resources with Randall Library resources • Establish policies for managing the more granular data that are part of iLumina resources (and typical of other digital library project resources) • Build a consistent iLumina-Randall user interface for resource access • Integrate iLumina content into Randall searches allowing a Randall search to include iLumina as well as other Randall Library resources or to limit it just to iLumina resources
Objectives for Goal 1 • Further automation of the cataloging and review process after integration • Increase the size of the collection through additional contributions • Document, from multiple perspectives, the change process from stand-alone NSDL collection to integrated collection • Utilize data gathered by the NSDL Sustainability Standing Committee to make the integration model extensible to other institutions
Objectives for Goal 1 • Refine the integration model in preparation for expanding to other sites • Develop and present workshops on the integration model for other NSDL collection sites
Objectives for Goal 2 • Crosswalk iLumina metadata to MARC format • Harvest iLumina metadata • Export MARC records to the OCLC WorldCat database • Increase access to the educational resources in iLumina • Document the use of the integrated iLumina-Randall system • Determine usage trends of the new system
