Database in 2012 HPB Migration at the Beginning of This Year
1 http://www.cerl.org Issue No. 25 June 2012 ISSN 1680-4546 (appears twice a year) Heritage of the Printed Book (HPB) Database in 2012 HPB migration At the beginning of this year, OCLC informed CERL that it would no longer host third-party databases, including the HPB database. OCLC offered CERL the opportunity to transfer its hosting contract from OCLC to EBSCO. After careful consideration, this offer was declined and CERL decided to find a new host for the HPB. Contact was established with R. Diedrichs (VZG, Göttingen) to investigate whether it might be possible to host the HPB in the GBV environment (see also https://www.gbv.de). VZG/GBV is firmly anchored in the library environment. It hosts the catalogue for libraries in Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Niedersachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein, Thüringen and the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (representing roughly half the academic libraries in Germany). It is also involved in developing the German national authority file (GND), it hosts EROMM, and a number of other third-party databases. All CERL members were informed that this option would be further explored, and they were asked to suggest alternative hosts. One such alternative was suggested and was further explored. Ultimately, in June 2012, this alternative option was not deemed viable. The HPB database will therefore be hosted by VZG Göttingen in the GBV environment. A first extraction of all records currently in the HPB has been made available to VZG/GBV and is currently being converted from MARC21 to Pica+, which is the format in use at GBV. -

During the WLIC in Oslo the Section had a very successful programme on Perspectives on supply of electronic documents. The first of the three papers that were presented there you will find in this issue of our newsletter while the remaining two will be published in the following issue. In his paper on SUBITO and German developments in copyright law Dr. Uwe Rosemann puts focus on what is happening not only in Germany but in many other countries as well if publishers and associates succeed in having their own way. The German court will have to decide if – as claimed by the publishers – interlibrary loan activities not only happening between German and foreign libraries but between libraries within Germany as well are illegal. -

Intercultural Cooperation of National Libraries: a Case Study of ECO National Libraries
Submitted on: 12.07.2015 Intercultural Cooperation of National Libraries: A Case Study of ECO National Libraries Azam Najafqolinejad Ph.D in library and information science, Virtual Reference Librarian, National library and archives of I.R. of Iran, Tehran, Iran. [email protected] Sedighe Shakeri M.S in Library and information science, Virtual reference librarian, National library and archives of I.R. of Iran, Tehran, Iran. [email protected] Copyright © 2015 by Azam Najafqolinejad and Sedighe Shakeri. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Abstract: ECO countries are considerably close in geographical and cultural terms. This significant relationship originates from religious beliefs although there are different nationalities and racial groups in this region. The historical and cultural ties originate from the last centuries of Muslim rule in Central Asia and Caucasus. That is why Eco countries have cultural and literal works in common like old Qur'ans, Divan Hafez, Golestan Sa'di, rare copies of Shahnameh and other historical resources. In addition there are some commonalities in art, handcrafts, language, literature, poetry and prose. These common backgrounds in the region indicate living symbols and evidence of a similar history and life. National libraries are responsible for preservation of documentary heritage of the country. If we provide an effective way of cooperation of national libraries then we will gather the resources together and a wealth of valuable historical and cultural collections will be revived .this paper methodology is library research. Findings showed Eco countries have necessary requirements for an intercultural relationship. -
