讨论要点
• 力不从心• 冤家路窄• 柳暗花明
力不从心• Number of publications increased so much that
library cannot buy all of the materials to support education and research needs
• Price of publications increased so much that library does not have the budget to continue its collection development in the same level as it use to be
• Limited staff resources prevent library from providing deeper than bibliography level access to the collections

( 冤 )众家路窄• Search engines compete with library catalogs
(Google Book Index)• Publishers and book sellers offer better search
results (Amazon)• User population unsatisfied with the level of library
services

ARL survey: Resources usage by undergraduate
柳暗花明Digital environment has enabled library perform more
important roles in scholarly communications– Scholarly publishing and digital collection distributions
Highwire press, GATT– Preservations and archiving
digital repository, book scanning…– Improve scholarly communication with web2.0 technologies
Blogs, wiki, social tagging…– Help user discover information by integrating services and
contents
举例说明• OpenSearch - searching OPAC is as easy as
searching Google• User scripts - showing item status in Amazon or
Google• Enriching library catalog – showing book covers and
search inside of book• Integrating services - Embedding SFX menu in the
OPAC and providing cross-systems link

Approach 1: OpenSearch
<head>…<link rel="search"
type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="Socrates Search" href="http://library.stanford.edu/xml/
opensearch.xml">…</head>
opensearch.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <OpenSearchDescription
xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/"> <ShortName>Socrates Search</ShortName> <Description>Socrates Search provider</Description> <InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding> <Url type="text/html"
template="http://library.stanford.edu/searchcat? everything={searchTerms}" /> </OpenSearchDescription>
Approach 2: User Scripts
Approach 3: Enriching Library Catalog
JavaScript used for showing book cover image
<script language="JavaScript">var isn='<SIRSI_Data Variable="ISBN">' isbn=(isn.substr(0,10))document.write('<input type="image"
src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/'+ isbn +'.01._AA_SCTZZZZZZZ_.jpg" alt="book cover image courtesy of Amazon.com" name="VIEW\^<SIRSI_Data List_DC=WD>"><br><img src="<SIRSI_Data Session=
“IMG_SPECIAL">/SPACER.gif" alt="" border="0“ height="1" width="100">');
</script>
Approach 4: Integrating Services
近期可以实现的目标• Make online and on shelves materials readily available and
easy to discover• Integrate library contents with digital discovery environment• Create tools to help staff switching from cataloging to
knowledge organization• Select user-centric Web technologies to assist with
seamless search experiences across the products and services
• Develop digital contents that support Scholarly Communications
