Controlling Digitization processes with MyBib eDoc

UB Bern and ZHB Luzern have been cooperating with Google Books since 2019. Covid-19 delayed the start of the large-scale retro-digitisation project, but in the last quarter of 2020 the project has gained momentum.
Project was successfully completed in fall 2022 with a total of 155.000 books of Bernese and Lucerne holdings digitised.
The contents of the books from 1700-1900 are available worldwide via Google Books and the libraries’ own portals. The library’s internal workflow was controlled via MyBib eDoc in each case.

The ImageWare team wishes all customers, partners and companions a happy new year.

Hopefully it will be a year with some real encounters and the end of the pandemic. As useful and practical as the online/video tools that have gone from special to commonplace in the last two years are, an occasional face-to-face meeting with a conversation beyond a narrow video call agenda or a conference with the chance to explore a bit a foreign city remains irreplaceable.

But in the meantime we remain faithful to our regular online-sessions ! See you soon !

The University Library of Tübingen has been using BCS-2 and the C-3 Plus module for four years for the indexing of journal articles. Following the further development of the programme in a joint project, it is now also possible to index articles from festive, congress and thematic publications (collective works) conveniently at article level. An important feature is the ability to link directly to the author norm data of the GND during indexing.
The indexing includes both current print journals and newly acquired collective works as well as a systematic, retrospective indexing of collective works and journals.
In this way, more than 52,000 articles have already been indexed in recent years (as of May 2021). Here you can take a look at the “imwa” articles: https://ixtheo.de/Search/Results?lookfor=rs%3Aimwa&type=AllFields&botprotect=

On 7.12.2020, the SLSP project in Switzerland switched from Aleph to Alma for all participating libraries. Since then, the document delivery of the Swiss MyBib customers has also been connected to Alma via RESTful API.

Five large university (ZB Zuerich and UB Basel among them) and scientific libraries in German-speaking Switzerland and the Cooperative Storage Library in Büron were able to continue offering their services seamlessly. Despite the lockdown, the supply of information remained and remains secure.

For the continuous and largely automated workflow from retrieval to scanning to delivery, all scanning workstations are uniformly equipped with BCS-2 Office and scanners from the Bookeye family.
