Integrating Digital Libraries and Traditional Libraries: A Model for Sustaining NSDL Collections

这个有针对性的研究项目正在调查将现有的NSDL存储库(ILumina数字馆藏)与传统研究图书馆(北卡罗来纳大学威尔明顿分校的兰德尔图书馆)整合时所涉及的问题。这样的整合为维持高等教育机构的众多数字收藏提供了一种模式。作为这项工作的一部分，该项目正在通过实施创新接口公司的XML收集器软件将IMS元数据自动转换为MARC数据记录，以将ILumina编译的IMS元数据直接转换为Randall图书馆目录中使用的MARC数据记录。由于ILumina资源被列在兰德尔图书馆的目录中，它们可以与OCLC WorldCat数据库共享，OCLC WorldCat数据库是一个全国性的资源，服务于世界各地超过43,000家图书馆。这大大增加了伊卢米纳数字资源的可及性。

This Targeted Research project is investigating the issues involved when integrating an existing NSDL repository (the iLumina digital collection) with a traditional research library (the Randall Library at UNC-Wilmington). Such an integration offers a model for sustaining the many digital collections that reside at institutions of higher education. As part of this effort the project is automating the conversion of IMS metadata to MARC data records via an implementation of Innovative Interface Corporation's XML Harvester software to transform IMS metadata compiled in iLumina directly into MARC data records used in the Randall Library catalog. As iLumina resources are listed within the Randall Library catalog, they become shareable with the OCLC WorldCat database, a national resource that serves over 43,000 libraries around the world. This substantially increases the accessibility of the digital resources housed in iLumina.
