The total number now stands at 3,462,212 bibliographical descriptions.

Updates Polish Microform project in that the records contain detailed copy- to existing files are also welcome. specific information for the items they describe Preferred formats remain MARC21 and UNIMARC. Hotlinking The display of hotlinks for records connected via the MARC21 subfield $w in the 76x-78x fields in FirstSearch was implemented for most fields on 15 May 2011. These “hotlinks” allow a searcher to move easily to records for related resources such as supplements, “bound withs”, individual volumes of multi- volume works, etc. It is especially fortunate that this new feature was implemented shortly after the load of the SBN(A) file because it makes it much easier for HPB users to explore the hierarchical structure of multivolume works in these Italian records.

  • Europeana Newspapers - a Gateway to European Newspapers Online
    Newspapers to the People IFLA Newspapers/GENLOC Pre-Conference Satellite Meeting Singapore, 14 – 15 August 2013 Europeana Newspapers - A Gateway to European Newspapers Online Clemens Neudecker and Lotte Wilms, KB National Library of the Netherlands 1. Introduction For many years now libraries and publishers are digitising extensive newspaper collections to meet the demand of their users and already millions of articles have been scanned. Despite this, access to these collections is still erratic and often limited to local access points. The project Europeana Newspapers is set out to greatly increase the accessibility to digitised newspaper collections – both those already in existence and those created in the future. The project brings together key stakeholders to make the process of digitisation more efficient in areas such as image refinement and the development of newspaper related metadata by providing best practice recommendations. Within the project, ten million newspaper pages will be refined with Optical Character Recognition and Optical Layout Recognition by, respectively, the University of Innsbruck and Content Conversion Specialists GmbH. This whole workflow is supervised by the National Library of the Netherlands, one of the founding members of the impact Centre of Competence in text digitisation. With this paper we would like to present our work with a wide variety of digitised European newspapers, ranging from 1618 to 2002 in over twenty languages, and with fourteen different metadata and master file formats. We want to

  • Public Libraries in Europe and COVID-19: Findings from NAPLE Members, April 2020
    April 30th, 2020 Public Libraries in Europe and COVID-19: Findings from NAPLE Members, April 2020 Background Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) began to lead to closures of library buildings to the public at the start of March 2020. The following document summarises the measures taken in response to the virus by public libraries in 20 NAPLE member countries to date1, with specific focus on the extent of closures across Europe; the engagement of staff during closures; services offered to the public (both physical and online) while buildings were closed; quarantining of books and other health and safety measures; efforts by libraries to support national healthcare initiatives; and library efforts to address misinformation about the COVID-19 virus. The information contained in this report is based on responses from NAPLE members submitted to a shared spreadsheet between March 20th and April 24th 2020. As such it should be seen as a snapshot of this period. Executive Summary At the time of writing, most public libraries around Europe are closed to the public until further notice. Some libraries are offering reduced or alternative services for the lending of physical library materials until full services resume, though generally the focus is on online services and digital content. The staff in many public libraries around Europe are working remotely during closures. In countries where library staff need to work from their office or library, it is noted that provisions are in place (e.g. anti-bacterial gel is provided, staff work in shifts to allow for physical distancing). There are several reports of staff being redeployed to assist with healthcare efforts, one report of staff being stood down and one report of staff being put on unpaid, open-ended leave during the lockdown.
