BHL – EuropeTo be officially launched in May 2009 Discussions underway with China
Additional categories of membership under consideration
Martin R. Kalfatovic :: Smithsonian Libraries :: Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries :: 12 May 2009
Initial grant from the MacArthur and Sloan Foundations (as part of the Encyclopedia of Life grant)
Additional support from parent institutions
Supplemental grants in place for specific development (e.g. Moore Foundation for Fedora)
Additional grants being actively pursued by BHL and individual members

Botanical Members
How much is there:
Core literature pre-1923: 100 million pages (?)
All pre-1923: 120-150 million pages
All literature: 280-320 million pages
Martin R. Kalfatovic :: Smithsonian Libraries :: Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries :: 12 May 2009
More statistics:1.3 million catalogue records 73% are monographs (remainder are serials at title-level) 63% is English language materialThe next most popular language (9%) is GermanAbout 30% of material was published before 1923

What about other scanning?
• Missouri Botanical Garden Library continuing in-house scanning process
• Other BHL members also have non-Internet Archive scanning operations
• Ingest of other interested libraries

The BHL Portal!

…Names…Rectification of Names (Cheng Ming)What is necessary is to rectify names … If
names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success.
The Analects of ConfuciusBook 13, verse 3 (Legge translation, 1980)

Since we would be covering more than botany, the obvious choice was:
ZoBo.org
Martin R. Kalfatovic :: Smithsonian Libraries :: Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries :: 12 May 2009
BoZo.org
Or we could give plants precedence:
Martin R. Kalfatovic :: Smithsonian Libraries :: Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries :: 12 May 2009
Maybe TWO portals were needed:
Botanicus.org
Faunicaus.org
Martin R. Kalfatovic :: Smithsonian Libraries :: Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries :: 12 May 2009
Extinctionary.org
Martin R. Kalfatovic :: Smithsonian Libraries :: Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries :: 12 May 2009
Or inspired by the All Species Foundation or Species 2000:
Omnibiosis.org
Vitalis.org
Allogy.org
Martin R. Kalfatovic :: Smithsonian Libraries :: Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries :: 12 May 2009
• BioSpeciesBrary.org• FloraunaBrary.org• BioBrary.org• LifeBrary.org• BioLitBrary.org
Maybe we need to include the “L” word in some way:
Gaspar SchottMechanica hydraulico-pneumatica, 1657
Martin R. Kalfatovic :: Smithsonian Libraries :: Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries :: 12 May 2009
Or maybe something more “metadata-y”
• QHQKQL.org• Z672.org• Z265.org• UDC574.org

Midrange estimate: 25% of 5 million species = 1.3 million species, or roughly 1 every 20 minutes
Low estimate: 15% of 4 million species = 0.6 million species, or roughly 1 every 44 minutes.
High estimate: 50% of 6 million species = 3 million species, or roughly 1 every 9 minutes
