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 Berlin）拥有大量重要的18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，该图书馆已经参与了vvd 18的试点阶段，该项目旨在建立一个18世纪的回顾性德国国家书目。第一阶段的成果是14000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（数字化图书的中央馆藏）和图书馆自己的数字馆藏使用。由于现有的书籍只是馆藏的一小部分，图书馆计划在拟议的第一个主要阶段从专题资料开始，对另外4800本书进行数字化和编目。同样重要且数量众多的期刊的数字化将在稍后阶段进行。VD 18关于编目和数字化的指导方针应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，为了避免重复，在其他编目网络中进行了扩展研究。除了国家书目编目外，国家图书馆还记录单个副本的具体情况（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.
