The life of networks
|

|
|

Network IdRef
NATIONAL ENTITY FILE PROJECT: after a study phase, and then the production of a proof of concept, the project is entering a phase of initial development. This is an opportunity to take stock of what it is, what it is not, and its schedule. A specific tab is now devoted to it on the transition-bibliographique.fr website, since the project is attached to this national programme.
|
COLLABORATION WITH THE RERO NETWORK: the member libraries of the Swiss RERO network will enter their authorities into IdRef and then, after a period of training for their staff, they will contribute to the database via theIdRef production interface. TheAbes will explain to the network, when the time comes, the challenges of this collaboration.
|
|
WINIBW IDREF SCRIPT : a new script is offered to cataloguers, after it has been tested by several Cataloguing and Authorities Correspondents (we thank them here). It allows to link and create authority records from WinIBW, with the facilities offered by IdRef. A J.e-course will be held on 17 September.

Calames network
|
A STRENGTHENED TEAM:Abes welcomes the arrival on 1 September of Etienne Naddeo, curator of libraries, who will be responsible in particular for running the network Calames. The rest of the team will keep their workload, and he will be able to ensure better reactivity and better follow-up of the assistance. His mission is to deepen exchanges within the network by reactivating the WG Calames, enriching the documentation, and collecting and following up users' expectations.

Sudoc network
SUDOC 2021 AGREEMENTS: for the year 2021, an agreement will be established, on the same model as the current agreement, with two adjustments to the text: one concerning the duration (from 1 January to 31 December 2021), the other concerning invoicing (during this transitional year before the new 2022 agreement, the amount of the invoice will be identical to that paid in 2020). The Relationship Officers atAbes have been informed.
|
NEW VERSION OF THE "IMPORTS INTO THE SUDOC" MANUAL: the manual, accessible from the "Coordinator's Documentary Portal Sudoc", in the GM, has been improved and enriched, to facilitate navigation, detail and clarify the contents (remember to refresh the page in your browser with F5).
|
SUPEB TRAINING Supeb training: the training scheme for the ILL module of WinIBW will alternate, this year, remote sessions and self-training. New Supeb users are therefore invited to follow an introductory webinar on 22/09, then to self-train via the tutorial proposed, and finally to ask their questions during a concluding webinar on 12/10.
|
Coordinators Sudoc and staff in charge of the peb have been informed of the modalities of registration to this scheme.
|
SEARCH BY "FORM OR GENRE" IN THE SUDOC: the entry by cataloguers of this indexing in zone B608 makes it possible to search for resources in the catalogue Sudoc according to their form or genre. Indeed, the "Form; genre" index is now operational in the catalogue: it appears in the drop-down menu of available indexes of the simple and advanced search.

|
AUTHOR ACCESS IN ZONE B7XX Two documents are available to cataloguers of continuing resources: one is an instruction document, the other (produced by Christine Hecht, head of CR at the BNU in Strasbourg, whom we thank) is a summary in the form of a slide show.
|
ALIGNMENT SUDOC-MIR@BEL: last June, the insertion in the records Sudoc of the URL of the document on the Mir@bel platform and of an identifier of the "MIR_id" type made it possible to align approximately 16,800 records common to these two networks. Thus, a user of Sudoc will be able, from the record in our catalogue, to jump to the content of the open access resource on the Mir@bel platform.
The partnership with Mir@bel will be strengthened with other actions.
