Re: [CODE4LIB] haititrust
Hi Eric and others, Belatedly, let me add that we are currently exploring ways of exposing and making searchable the subsets of HathiTrust volumes that overlap with individual partner library collections. It is also possible to do some analysis (though not robust searching) using data from the hathifiles and comparison with local holdings. If partners would like reports on holdings, or have questions they can send requests to feedb...@issues.hathitrust.org(or use the feedback link at the top right of any HT page, as Jonathan Rochkind pointed out). Thanks, Angelina Zaytsev Project Librarian, HathiTrust On Fri, Aug 3, 2012 at 2:51 PM, Karen Coyle li...@kcoyle.net wrote: I'm not the original poster, but I've run into this before in terms of linking library holdings to digital versions. There are a few reasons I can think of for doing this linking: 1) Your library is a selection of works that you think will best serve your readers. The library catalog is not the only place they should look, but it is a useful first place to look. 2) Other functions, like your courseware, link to your catalog; discovering additional copies in this way is useful (of course, this assumes they aren't running a service like Umlaut, right?) 3) if you don't have a good record of what was digitized from your library, HathiTrust might be the best source of that One of the big problems that I see with mass digitization and the access to those items is the loss of the role of the library in selection/collection building. I suppose if you are in a huge library like Harvard the collection is so large that it almost approaches whatever. For smaller libraries, and with certain user populations, the mass of digitized texts is overwhelming. A library like Harvard assumes highly sophisticated users; when you combine Harvard and Michigan and California together you get a library that few of us can function in. I think the challenge for us now is to make that huge collection usable by folks other than a few experts. kc On 8/3/12 11:26 AM, Jonathan Rochkind wrote: Not an answer to your question, but if you want to share I'm curious what your use case is where you want to limit to items your library owns.

Re: [CODE4LIB] haititrust
Eric , These blog postings are interesting. Here at UVa we have added MARC records for publicly accessible items from Hathi Trust into our solr based online catalog, but we have made no attempt yet to link from the records drawn from our ILS that reference physical items on the shelves the the Hathi Trust MARC records that are digitized versions of the same item, the two records currently appear as separate search results, one of can return availability of the physical item(s) on the shelf, the other which provides a link to the Hathi Trust page turner for the item. I think linking the two together would be useful, we simply haven't yet started a project to look at doing that. -Bob Haschart University of Virginia On 8/14/2012 3:30 PM, Eric Lease Morgan wrote: Yes, working with the HathiTrust data is interesting, to say the least. I did a bit of investigation to determine the feasibility of linking our bibliographic records to HathiTrust records. These investigations manifested themselves in three blog postings: 1. http://bit.ly/PVsKBg - Describes the overlap between the Hesburgh Libraries book collection at the University of Notre Dame and the HathiTrust. It also outlines possible services to be implemented the 'Trust. 2. http://bit.ly/OgNhCU - Here I describe how I identified and downloaded a set of 25,000 MARC records describing public domain items in both the HathiTrust and the Hesburgh Libraries' collection. 3. http://bit.ly/N0P4cl - In this posting I provide an interface for browsing a subset of the MARC records, as well as providing the means for downloading them to a local disc. What did I learn? In short, linking our records to HathiTrust records will require the coordinated skills and expertise of collection managers, catalogers, pubic service types, and systems types. I sincerely believe we can provide enhanced services against our collection -- services beyond linking -- if we figure out ways to exploit the HathiTrust. (P.S. It looks like I misspelled HathiTrust in my initial posting. Speln iz not mi 4ta.)
