Bibliographic Transition
The presentations of the Rameau information day, which took place on 12 January, are online, including the one on the application of the reform in Sudoc.
|
From spring 2021, the "Standardisation" group of the national Bibliographic Transition programme is setting up a new sub-group responsible for developing the specialised part of the RDA-EN code dedicated to continuing resources, with a particular focus on Works and Expressions. To set up this group, a call for applications has been launched among CR managers and staff in charge of electronic documentation in their institution.

The life of networks

Network IdRef
STATISTICS ON AUTHORITIES IN WEBSTATS: at a time when institutions are looking for information for the annual activity reports or the ESGBU, the statistics given by Webstats are sometimes surprising, displaying a higher number of record modifications than expected. Abes makes many data corrections, simulating the identity of the last RCR number to modify the record, so as not to disrupt the operation of the remote assistance ofIdRef (requests of the "Improve the record" or "Report an error" type must be sent to this RCR). This explains the discrepancy sometimes seen in the statistics.
|
ALIGNMENTS WITH HAL IDENTIFIERS :Abes has proceeded to an alignment calculation between IdRef and IdHAL, the identifier of HAL users (the latter being often researchers). More than 24 000 IdHal, that is to say more than the half of the existing IdHAL, are from now on stored in the corresponding records IdRef (in zone A035). For information, 3 years ago, there were "only" about 10 000.

Calames network
ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT: it is now possible to obtain, in addition to the institution's connection account at Calames , several temporary connection accounts for temporary cataloguers or permanent accounts for sections of the same institution using Calames.
|
END OF USE OF CALAMES IE:Abes announces the end of use of the "Calames IE" version of the production tool, by December 2021. Any user working on this version is invited to uninstall it and replace it with the "Calames Office" version. In case of problems, please contact the helpdesk.
|
CATALOGUE CONSULTATION IN 2020: during this disrupted year, did the consultation of the Calames catalogue increase? A comprehensive study will reveal the consultation statistics and profile of the typical catalogue visitor. It will be used to partly define the next evolutions of the public interface.
|
|
VIEWING IMAGES IN THE CATALOGUE: A new mode of viewing digitised documents is now available. Abes recommends that user manuals be updated if this feature is documented in them.
|
|
|
|
|
Sudoc network
IMPORTS QUALITY: A manual of guidelines on expected data quality is now available. It is intended for libraries wishing to import records, but also for publishers and aggregators of information resources.
|
BACON: the BAse de COnnaissance Nationale makes available the file mentioning the accesses to the resources of the ROAD directory (Répertoire des ressources académiques en libre accès), fruit of a collaboration with the ISSN centre.
|
|
TRAINING ON DEDUBLING: one of the needs expressed in the survey on the Cataloguing Correspondent function was for training on the activity of bibliographic deduplication. A J.e-course will be devoted to this subject on 18 March.
|
|
|
|
|
Sudoc PS network
EPLOURIBOUSSE, AN APPLICATION TO DEDUPLING PERIODICALS : the University of Strasbourg is launching the promotion of Eplouribousse, a free web application designed to facilitate the deduplication of periodical collections.Abes The team that created the application (whose source code is freely available at GitHub ) is offering two videoconferences to present the application, on 11 and 15 March, at 2pm.
|
A VIRTUAL MEETING IN MAY: an online day for the Heads of Centres of the Network Sudoc-PS is confirmed for 20 May. The agenda is currently being validated, based on proposals made by those concerned.
|
2020 ACTIVITY REPORT: the heads of the Network Centres Sudoc-PS are invited to send their activity report for the year 2020 before 31 March.
|
|
LOCALISED SUDOC RECORDS ACCESSIBLE FROM ISSN PORTAL: since mid-February, a URL link has been set up between the records accessible via the free version of ISSN Portal and the corresponding record, if it includes locations, in Sudoc. This alignment makes it possible to better correct possible inconsistencies between the Register data, which is uploaded to Sudoc every two months, and the data under the responsibility of the cataloguers of theAbes networks.

Theses network
STEP TRAINING: a distance learning cycle for the STEP application is proposed on 11 March.
|
STAR TRAINING: due to health conditions, the next training session for new Correspondents Star is proposed at a distance, from 29 to 31 March 2021.
|
MORE VISIBILITY FOR THESIS IN ENGINEERING SCIENCES: "Techniques de l'ingénieur" is the most important technical and scientific documentary resource in French. TheAbes collaborates with it to reinforce the visibility of doctoral theses in engineering sciences: each month, the Réseau National des Écoles Doctorales Sciences Pour l'Ingénieur (REDOC SPI) selects theses, posted on theses.fr, related to the theme of the dossier proposed by the magazine "Techniques de l'ingénieur". At the source, it is the quality of the metadata produced by the network that allows this visibility.
