IFLA Strategy 2024-2029
No full textIFLA'nın 2024-2029 Stratejisi, Federasyonu yüzüncü yılının ötesine ve hatta neredeyse Birleşmiş Milletler'in 2030 Gündeminin ötesine taşıyacaktır. Her iki dönüm noktası da uzun vadeye odaklanmayı, görmek istediğimiz dünya hakkında net olmayı ve kütüphaneler ile IFLA'nın oynayabileceği rolün altını çiziyor.
IFLA’nın 2024-2029 stratejisi IFLA’ya dair bugünkü algıları ve geleceğe dair temennileri anlamak isteyen üyeler ve gönüllülerin katıldığı anketler ve müzakereler aracılığıyla şekillendirildi.2024-2029 stratejisi reçete sunmayı amaçlamıyor, bunun yerine bu alandaki herkesin kendi planını geliştirmesine ışık tutan daha geniş bir çerçeve sunuyor. İstediğimiz dünyaya ilişkin net bir vizyonun yanı sıra IFLA'nın oraya ulaşmak için kütüphaneleri nasıl destekleyebileceğini ortaya koyan bir değişim teorisi sunmaktadır. IFLA'nın planları için sürekli bir referans, ilerlemeyi ölçmek için bir çerçeve ve başka alanlarda strateji geliştirmeye yardımcı olacak potansiyel bir model görevi görecektir. Ayrıca, IFLA'nın uluslararası bir federasyon olarak farklı kültürlerden, dil topluluklarından, coğrafyalardan ve deneyimlerden gelen insanları bir araya getiren, onlar için bir platform sağlayan ve sonuçlar sunan doğasını yansıtacak şekilde tasarlanmıştır

FAIR Authority Data, a First Step Towards a Linked Open Belgian Bibliography
No full textIn 2024 no one should have to manually read thousands of pages to nitpick relevant information in a National Bibliography. Instead users should be able to discover the bibliography by a modern facetted search based on available data.
However, unlocking the potential of National Bibliographies as Linked Open Data requires more than just publishing the underlying bibliographic records online. Text strings and opaque codes need to be understandable by humans and machines. In this presentation I will highlight the importance of FAIR authority data as a building block for Linked National Bibliographies. In particular I will focus on machine-understandable metadata at the Royal Library of Belgium and the current research infrastructure project MetaBelgica.
We are driven by the principle of a single source of truth: whatever the enrichment, we need to add it to our catalogue following best practices. This ensures that our MARC-based records with many multilingual text strings become MARC-based records filled with Linked Data-ready concepts. Thus also avoiding several copies of data at different locations and in different quality.
Practical considerations include the use of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) throughout our catalogue and an entity management system that produces persistent identifiers (PIDs) for Belgian authority data. I will introduce how we use Resource Description and Access (RDA) terms in our catalog. Furthermore I will introduce the envisioned Wikibase-powered MetaBelgica platform. This will not only become the home for authority data, but also has the potential to onboard other controlled vocabularies or multilingual thesauri such as the concepts of the Belgian Bibliography. Like this, more and more concepts with PIDs can be referenced by our bibliographic records.
This methodology of enriching MARC records with Linked Data terms is not novel. But our future developments with respect to authority data and Wikibase might be of interest for the community.

Preparation for receiving an electronic mandatory copy in the National Library of the Czech Republic
No full textThe National Library of the Czech Republic has the right of a legal deposit for physical copies from publishers. The library has been trying to legislate the submission of an electronic legal deposit for several years. The law is currently in the legislative process and should be enacted at the end of this year.
This paper will present how the NL CR is preparing to receive and process an electronic legal deposit copy. The library has created its own system for receiving publications, in which publishers will insert e-born monographs and periodicals. The publication will then be processed in the library system and made available in the digital library.
