Overview

Structural and institutional frameworkBackground and objectifsConcept and structureProjects



Institutions within the Consortium



Preceding projects from c. 2000

Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries – Module Licensing

Start-up funding by the federation, today fully funded by the libraries

Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries – Module E-Archiving

Funded by the federation



Results E-Archiving

Platform for digitised journals(http://retro.seals.ch)

Metadataserver of Swiss repositories(http://meta.seals.ch)

Local hosting of licensed contentInformation about Open AccessPreparatory work on long-term preservation

http://retro.seals.ch/

http://meta.seals.ch/



Situation 2008

The office of the Consortium is the only library institution on the operational level working for all Swiss academic libraries

Therefore it is the logical starting point for the preparation of new projects

The office has on the average 6 FTEs at its disposal for licensing (for more than 40 partners) and project work



Relation with ETH-Bibliothek

Administrative integration as staff function

Customer of ITD (IT-departement)

Partner in common projectsPilot project long-term preservationDigitisation of journals (Baugedächtnis Schweiz Online and others)

ETH-Bibliothek as customerAs participant in module licensingAs user of the platform http://retro.seals.ch




ObservationVariety of contents and offers is difficult tocommunicate and even more difficult to use in a targeted wayWhat does not appear online, is less perceived andused

ObjectiveEasier access to a broader offerBetter integration of digital and traditional media in searching and access



E-lib.ch is targetedat improving information provision for members ofuniversitiesat strengthening the nationwide networking amonguniversities

Contents and services are at the same time attractive fora wider interested public



Funding for E-lib.ch, 2008-2011

Funding according to „Universitätsförderungsgesetz“ requires own contribution of the same amount

Separate funding even in common projects10 cantonal universities (7 Mio. CHF)ETH-domain (2 federal technical universities and 4 research institutions, 2 Mio. CHF)7 universities of applied sciences (1 Mio. CHF)



„E-lib.ch has the vision of creating a national science portal

with a central point of access for searching, verifying and

accessing scientific information from and for the whole of

Switzerland.“

„It is the strategic aim to develop and sustainably establish

E-lib.ch as the leading and central national portal in the sense

of a „Single-Point-of-Access“ for scientific information retrieval

and provision in Switzerland.“



Or put more simply:

Closer to the customer

Conception

Objective and concept: Top-downProposal for the framework project E-lib.ch

Contribution of content: Bottom-upproposals for specific projects within the framework

It is the aim to establish platforms:Open for extensions and development



Consequence:E-lib.ch requires a different structure than the Consortium

Consortium:Office of the Consortium was and is itself executing the work on behalf of the libraries

E-lib.ch:Project coordination for the framework projectDecentralised execution of specific projects by the respective project managers and their partners

E-lib.chComprehensive, but

not exclusive



Specific projects:

Seven predefined topic clusters as aid for steering the proposal process

Discrepancy between project ideas and actual proposals: new even more weight on digitisation and portals/meta searches.

Afterwards, projects were re-grouped under two topic focal points:– Retrieval and use– Digital content



Focus retrieval and use– Webportal E-lib.ch Central access point

– SwissBib Union catalogue (search, not administration)

– Metadatenserver Linking to institutional repositories

– Multivio Tool for navigation and replay

– Info-Net Economy Portal for CH-economics

– Kartenportal.CH Virtual library geoinformation

– infoclio.ch Platform for CH-historic sciences

– Informationskompetenz (Information literacy)Collection of materials and concept for training

– Marketing Communication of the products



Focus digital content– e-codices Aim: Swiss digital manuscript library

– E-rara (incl. three sub-projects)Digitisation of CH-rare books

– retro.seals.ch Digitisation of scientific CH-journals

– Best Practices DigitalisierungCollection and re-use of existing experiences

– Konzept Langzeitarchivierung (Long-term preservation)LTP of scientific primary and secondary data

– DOI-CH Assignment of DOI for scientific primary data

– E-Depot Local hosting of licensed journals
