The life of networks
|

|
|
Network IdRef
NEW VERSION OF PAPRIKA: a new version of the paprika.idref.fr data curation application went live on October 21. It offers new search modalities, and distinguishes access points from bibliographic records without copies.
The documentation has been updated and the new features presented during a J.e-course, now available online.
|
IdREF NOVELTY : thanks to the enrichment work carried out by the Correspondants Autorités et Responsables CR on the communities that publish journals (see the brief "in the "Réseau Sudoc-PS" block" below), a Mir@bel insert is now present in the IdRef publisher records. This insert makes it possible to view and link to Mir@bel on the publisher's titles.
|
QUALITY PROJECT: a call for volunteers has been launched among Authority Correspondents, to complete the "Enrichment of authority records for status 1 natural persons" project (records are too succinct and need to be completed). The Authority Correspondents have been informed.
|
ORCID: the functionalities of ORCID's Affiliation Manager tool are now described in a functional diagram, accompanied by an FAQ, available on the community website. Many thanks to the 9 ORCID correspondents, to whom we owe these documents.

Calames network
RECORDS IN CONTEXTS" STANDARD: on November 16, the French National Archives will be hosting an information webinar on the "Records in Contexts" standard, a model for describing archives by entity developed under the aegis of the ICA (International Council on Archives), the first complete version of which is currently being prepared.
|
MOISSONNAGE DE CALAMES PAR FRANCEARCHIVES: une enquête-flash (ouverte jusqu'au 24 novembre prochain) vise à recenser les établissements qui veulent voir leurs données Calames récolonnées par le portail FranceArchives du SIAF (Service Interministériel des Archives de France). The joint effort byAbes and SIAF to clarify the harvesting of Calames by FranceArchives is part of an overall initiative by the Agency to facilitate the sharing and retrieval of data by the various national and international catalogs likely to reuse them, and to ensure the uniqueness of the identifiers present in these data.

Sudoc network
RETROSPECTIVE REPORTING:Abes is tasked by the MESR with coordinating the national retrospective reporting policy at Sudoc , and as such can contribute to the funding of operations likely to enrich the catalog. The 2023 call for projects has been launched, and will run until December 16, 2022. Abes has been informed.
|
UNIMARC 2023 NEWS : the next Unimarc implementations will take place at the beginning of January 2023. Our support system is ready: Sudoc Coordinators can send specifications and sample records to their BMS suppliers; Correspondents can familiarize themselves with these new features thanks to methodological guide sheets, and inform their teams; catalogers can train on WinIBW's test and exercise database. A J.e-course is scheduled for early January.
|
CLINICALKEY STUDENT PACKAGE : the resources in this package (published by Elsevier-Masson) have been consolidated and enriched by several network establishments and byAbes. Instructions for automatic exemplarization (or retrieval of enriched records from the BMS) have been sent to coordinators. A dedicated page has been created in the electronic resources reporting manual.
|
BACON SURVEY: establishments are invited to respond to a short survey on the content that should be integrated as a priority into the BACON National Knowledge Base. The Sudoc coordinators have been informed. The survey is open until November 30.
|
CONTINUING TRAINING: a J.e-course on regular transfers is scheduled for November 24. Its aim is to remind you of the problems that can arise during transfers, and to focus on the choice of the "All updates" option versus the "Clean updates" option.
|
NETWORK CONTRIBUTIONS: Virginie Golliat, coordinator Sudoc and formatter-relais (Bibliothèque de l'université catholique de Lyon) shares with the network a document summarizing all the accesses (Agents, Titles) that can be made in a record Sudoc. It can be accessed in the "Network contributions" tab of the GM, in the "Cataloguing tools" block. Many thanks to her!

Sudoc PS network
PROFESSIONAL DAYS : On November 24, the Centres in the Sudoc-PS network in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region will be holding a study day. The 3 CRs will welcome you in Bordeaux, Limoges or Poitiers with hybrid face-to-face and remote presentations, on the theme "How to make your periodicals visible in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and beyond?".
Erratum: the professional day of CR 32 - Arts and archaeology (INHA) will take place in Paris in mid-February 2023 and not on November 30, 2022 as announced in the previous issue of this newsletter.

ENHANCING THE CORPUS OF COMMUNITY NOTICES TO SERVE MIR@BEL'S NEEDS: the operation to align Mir@bel editors with local authority editors IdRef, for which the networks of Authority Correspondents and CR managers were called upon, has come to an end. Of the 650 or so alignments to be established, 411 have been completed. This editor-thon has enabled us to increase the number of alignments from 3,103 to 3,514, and now covers over 90% of French Mir@bel editors. Work is continuing on the remaining 244 French publishers, with checks on Mir@bel data before alignment at IdRef.

Theses network
THESES.FR SEARCH ENGINE OVERHAUL : the theses.fr search engine is currently undergoing a complete overhaul. The project involves the introduction of:
- a newer, more efficient search engine for theses and for people connected with theses;
- a responsive interface accessible to people with disabilities;
- a "Higher Education and Research" access reserved for all theses for which the author has refused online distribution.
|
|
The project should be completed by the end of 2023.

Did you know? The Agency manages over 25 different applications and websites for its networks and almost as many internal applications for its own operations. Faced with this number and complexity, the much-needed urbanization of its information system was launched back in 2016.
|
An article in issue no. 23 of "La collection numérique" (produced by AMUE) describes the means and method used to mapAbes's IS.
The more inquisitive will discover, for example, the relationships between IS infrastructure elements for an application such as "Item", a self-service application enabling establishments to manage their copy data from Sudoc.
