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 ¿ Preußischer Kulturbesitz 拥有大量重要的 18 世纪书籍藏品。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，其中包括极其罕见的书籍。因此，该图书馆已经参与了 VD 18 的试点阶段，旨在建立 18 世纪回顾性的德国国家书目。第一阶段的结果是 14,000 本数字化图书，可通过 OAI 界面获取，并可通过 VD 18 门户、ZVDD（数字化图书中央馆藏）和图书馆自己的数字馆藏使用。由于现有图书仅占馆藏的一小部分，图书馆计划在拟议的第一主要阶段从专题材料开始对另外 4,800 本书进行数字化和编目。同样重要且数量众多的期刊馆藏的数字化将在稍后阶段进行。VD 18 编目和数字化指南适用于项目工作流程的所有步骤。特别是在 GBV 公共图书馆网络编目之前，在其他编目网络中进行扩展研究以避免重复。除了国家书目编目之外，国家图书馆还记录单个副本的细节（例如出处或装订）。因此，VD 18 的活动完全融入了图书馆的历史馆藏工作中。

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.
