AGENDA

.1. Digital Objects and Digital Collections : What is our Plan ? Why Use Primo ?

.2. Fedora and Primo workflow / Integrated with Blackboard

.3. Fun Item : Dublin Core : Youtube Videos and Blackboard Canvas ???

.4. MODS protocol extract and Ingestion (Winterton Collection)

.5. EAD to Primo (Finding Aids)

.6. METS schema : African Maps Collection

.7. MODS schema : African Posters

.8. LibGuides into Primo

What is our Plan? … ya gotta have a plan !

Heaviest Traffic Blackboard

2nd Heaviest Traffic Library

Fastest Growing Traffic Repositories

= The “sweet spot”Develop integrated solution

ISSUES:Metadata choice ?Repository solution ?Primo Configuration ?

Working with DC Silo’s

Working with Primo

Moving to …… Fedora and Primo

First Hurdle

* All different inside* Consistent Delivery

Why use Primo for Digital Collections Viewing ?

Built-in facet search capability.Boolean search capability

Value of cross collection searching.Facets work (select 2+)Advanced searchingIntegration into other applications (such as Blackboard CMS)

#1 reason: Access points increased (more than one way to find). Entry point for patron into a collection/website they never knew about.

NOTE: Use Primo instead of hiring a team of developers to build a repository website capable of

cross-collection searching ! ! !

Digital Collections Searching And

Cross Collection Searching

NEW : Repository Cross Searching VIEW

Cross Collection Searching

More Options : to facilitate Xsearching

Advanced Search Select specific Digital Collection

* 4 Ruby Scripts (export, convert, mods_2_pnx, add_content.rb)* Fedora = modular repository system for management and dissemination of digital content.

* Why do we run 3 scripts ? It will be one script eventually ! ! !

Something Special for our Teaching Faculty

With Primo and Blackboard interoperability

=================

Dublin CoreUse DC to manually add

YouTube Videos for Faculty Classroom use with

Blackboard CMS.

Example: DC record from Faculty Form

PULL E-Shelf folders into Blackboard

Primo E-Shelf Folders built by Faculty Member

PULL feature

E-Shelf Folders in Blackboard Course Documents PageWith additional instructions

* Dynamically linked ! ! !

YouTube VideosHistory

The professor was thrilled.

PUSH feature of Primo/Blackboard interoperability

Side note :We added Primo Searching (and Library Resources) into Blackboard

How the Primo/Bb Project Comes Around "FULL CIRCLE" with our

repository development

• Teachers provide digital objects or request one (NU scanning project). These objects are made available through Primo via "harvesting."

• Teachers pull or push this material into their Blackboard Course Materials pages.

• Students use the material in a classroom environment.

CANVAS ????

Northwestern is moving to Canvas this fall and will no longer be using Blackboard so we are now looking at replicating these features in Canvas, and possible using LTI.

Our next major undertaking ! ! ! !

(Winterton Collection)

The Winterton Collection (using MODS)

We chose MODS because it lets us document “hierarchical” metadata.

Important to Special Collections and Archives.

MODS

EAD/MODS to PNX/PrimoWinterton Collection

Ruby/Rails script

Winterton Process

The Winterton records in Fedora are stored, along with corresponding images, as Fedora Objects. These objects include multiple files including descriptive metadata. The Fedora object (theoretically) might have a tiff file, a jpeg file, a pdf.

First, we created an XSLT script which created the MODS portion of the Fedora objects and these are the record form one sees on the Digital Collections site.

Then we created a Ruby on Rails script that exports the MODS files out of Fedora.

Then we created a Ruby/Rails script that uses an XSLT script that transforms the MODS records into PNX records.

Finally, we ingest the PNX record into using the default XML file splitter and pipe.

Primo Record Discovery – Details Tab

Parent of image

Actual image (item record)

Primo Record Discovery – Online Resource Tab

Actual Photo displayClick on “thumbnail” or image displayed in Online Resource or Details tabs.

Image on parent page

Parent of actual image record (hierarchy provided)Click on the “Link to source in Winterton Collection of East African Photographs” link in the “Online Resource” or “Details” tabs. This will display the parent page of the individual record (shows where the image came from).

Clicking on Component Page provides Picture detail…. Plus metadata for the picture.

So, Why Is This So GREAT ! ! !

This harvesting method incorporates hierarchical metadata into Primo for our collections, and provides another access point for patrons who never knew about the Winterton Collection. So now, patrons can look at the digital object directly in a webpage, or they can go to the Winterton Repository website via Primo and be placed right into the collection website so they can look at other related objects.

Africana MapsFedora Objects

METS

Africana Maps Process

In our Fedora Africana Maps Collection, the Fedora Objects contain METS files that function as a wrapper around MODS and Dublin Core metadata. The METS file contains a Description Section that contain MODS metadata and Dublin Core metadata. The MODS and DC metadata was created by using the VB script behind Gary Strawn’s Catalogers Toolkit Program (not the actual program menu itself). .1. In short, MODS and DC metadata is contained within the METS metadata schema. .2. Then, a Ruby/Rails script accesses the MODS metadata (within METS) and creates a MODS XML file.

.3. Then, a Ruby/Rails script is run with an XSLT file, that converts the MODS XML to a PNX file. .4. Using the Primo XML File Splitter, the Africana Maps PNX file is harvested by Primo.

DID I SAY YET. . . . . . . . . . . .What I have shown you today provides additional ACCESS POINTS to your digital collections such that users can find your digital collection, LibGuides, AND Finding Aids, without ever knowing where they are ! ! ! ! And once Primo links take them to the collection website (that they did not know existed), they will discover MORE ! ! !
