Digitization and Cataloguing of 18th century prints in Germany (VD 18) in the holdings of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz - Main phase

柏林国家图书馆（Staatsbibliothek zu Preußischer Kulturbesitz）收藏了大量重要的18世纪世纪书籍。除了许多外国出版物外，大多数是用德语出版或在德语国家印刷的书籍，包括极其罕见的物品。因此，图书馆已经参与了VD 18的试点阶段，该项目旨在建立一个回顾性的世纪德国国家书目。第一阶段的成果是14，000本数字化图书，可通过OAI接口获得，并可通过VD 18门户网站、ZVDD（数字化图书中央收藏）和图书馆自己的数字收藏使用。由于现有的书籍只是馆藏的一部分，图书馆计划在拟议的第一个主要阶段从专题材料开始，再对4 800本书进行编目和编目。同样重要和数量众多的期刊的数字化工作将在稍后阶段进行，VD 18编目和数字化准则适用于项目工作流程的所有步骤。特别是在GBV共同图书馆网络中编目之前，要在其他目录网络中进行广泛的研究，以避免重复。除了国家书目编目外，国家图书馆还记录单行本的具体情况（如出处或装订）。因此，VD 18的活动完全融入了图书馆的历史收藏工作。

The Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin ¿ Preußischer Kulturbesitz holds a substantial and important collection of 18th century books. In addition to many foreign publications the majority are books published in German or printed in German-speaking countries including extremely rare items. Therefore, the library already took part in the pilot phase of the VD 18 which aims to build a retrospective German national bibliography for the 18th century. The results of this first phase, 14.000 digitized books, are available via an OAI-interface and may be used via the VD 18 portal, the ZVDD (the central collection of digitized books) and the library¿s own digital collections. As the available books form only a fragment of the holdings, the library plans to digitize and catalogue a further 4.800 books in the proposed first main phase starting with monographic materials. The digitization of the equally important and numerous journal holdings will take place in a later phase.The VD 18 guidelines for cataloguing and digitization are applied in all steps of the project workflow. Especially before cataloguing in the GBV Common Library Network extended research takes place in other catalogue networks to avoid duplicates. In addition to national bibliographic cataloguing, the Staatsbibliothek is recording specifics of single copies (e.g. provenances or bindings). Thus, the activities of the VD 18 are fully integrated in the library¿s work for its historical collections.
