By Michele NewberryThe FCLA Endeca Project
Current OPAC environmentAleph 500 v.15.5 Heavily customized to reflect pre-implementation objectivesBased on familiarity of previous systemWithout full understanding of all the support implicationsIncludes heavy use of JavascriptSome workarounds created functional problems
M.Newberry
FCLA ALEPH Architecture11 universities11 Aleph instancesBibliographic records =14 millionConfiguration files and tablesJoblists and batch queues11 OPAC configurations1 OPAC config = >700 files/tables 4 Aleph regions (DEV/TEST/PROD/REPT) X 11 OPACs X 700 files = 30,800!
M.Newberry
Pending upgradeJumping 2 releases to v.18None of the v.15.5 customization will survive the upgrade processResources to sustain level of customization arent adequateFamiliarity with previous system is decliningUpgrade process will take 4 months for the 11 Aleph instances
M.Newberry
Other objectivesProvide a consistent transition interface during the up upgrade processGain discovery and navigation functionality not currently availableGain a union catalog a byproduct of our previous system not yet available with the current one
M.Newberry
Why ENDECA?Already proven by NCSUCan build on NCSUs work instead of starting from ground zeroProduct features:Guided navigation FacetsSpellcheckStemmingOthers yet to be fully explored

Endeca architectureOne instance of EndecaOne Endeca database7 million recordsOne instance of user interface with individual institution viewsEasy interface modificationRapid, iterative development
M.Newberry
Building the Endeca FileExtract bib records from 11 Aleph databasesLoad 1st into a 12th Aleph bib file Load 2nd file-deduping on OCLC number merge unique and local data (e.g., call numbers/URLS/headings/notes)Repeat file3 file11 Load Digital Library metadataExtract merged bib file to load into Endeca
M.Newberry
Maintaining the Endeca CatalogFull extraction, reformatting and load takes 48 hours will be done every few weeksIncremental updates of adds/significant changesCurrent holdings status retrieved from Aleph via SQL in real-time
M.Newberry
Next steps OPAC Subcommittee is examiningData integrityFunctionalityAppearanceUsabilityAccessibilityCIRC/ILL Subcommittee will be looking at future SUS-wide request capabilities
M.Newberry
Next steps Technical Services Committee is looking at:Aleph indexing changes for v.18 and effect on EndecaUse of material type codes for more user-friendly resultsProcesses to optimize the consistency of the bibliographic and holdings data feeding into Endeca
M.Newberry
Much further down the roadLibraries will need to start looking at feasibility of sharing bibliographic records to:Reduce duplication of effortShare authority controlRedirect resources into enhancing the dataReduce level of effort to produce the Endeca database
