9 Bibliographic development plans 9 Gradually adding multilingual authority control based on the NLI national authority file [underway] Enhanced de-duping to improve clustering of titles [underway] Merging the Israel Union List of Serials (ULS) into ULI [under discussion] Convert ULI to a single master-record system like OCLC Worldcat [planned for 2016]

10 Creation of a National Authorities File 10 Names: Multi-script (Latin, Hebrew, Arabic Cyrillic) Subjects: (LCSH + Hebrew translations) Partnership with additional institutions University of Haifa Library (since 2014) Hebrew University Libraries (June 2015) Selected college libraries (Summer 2015) Accessible to all network libraries to

11 Creation of a National Authorities File 11 Linked to: NLI catalog RAMBI Index to articles in Jewish Studies University of Haifa Library catalog Israel Union List (ULI) Hebrew University Libraries catalog (Summer 2015) Selected Colleges catalogs (Summer 2015) Haifa Index to Hebrew Periodicals

12 Authority record enhancements Import new LCSH file Changes in uniform title headings Changes in romanization 12

13 Israeli Uniform Title Judaica Headings Never fully accepted AACR [!] (e.g. Tefillot. Siddur) Often based on Academy of the Hebrew language systematic romanization rather than reference sources (e.g. Mishna. Qiddushin) Dead Sea Scrolls treated as a canonical collection 13

14 Israeli Uniform Title Judaica Headings Changes 14 Follow RDA/AACR as much as possible (major exception: Biblical literature) Use Encyclopedia Judaica forms whenever possible De-canonize Dead Sea Scrolls De-canonize Apocrypha [!] Changes approved by the national cataloging committee June 2015 New authority records accessible in a separate database

17 Headings Changes - Implementation Implementation at the NLI, Summer 2015 Automatic procedures as far as possible Correct NLI authority records Correct NLI bibliographic headings without authorities Based on the above, assist other libraries in making the changes 17

18 18 Changes in Romanization The NLI and some libraries have followed Academy of the Hebrew Language romanization: Israel. Misrad ha-haqlaut. ha-agaf leshimmur qarqa weniqquz Israel. Misrad ha-huz. ha-mahlaqa leqishre tarbut umadda Other Israeli libraries have followed ALA/LC: Israel. Misrad ha-hakla ut. ha-agaf leshimur karka ve-nikuz Israel. Misrad ha-huts. ha-mahlakah le-kishre tarbut

19 Changes in Romanization The Academy of the Hebrew Language has recently adopted a second simpler romanization scheme much closer to ALA/LC The NLI has decided to follow ALA/LC as much as possible (not necessarily with diacritics) and with cross references from old forms Implementation: Summer

20 Linking the NLI catalog to the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book (BHB) 20

21 21 Bibliography of the Hebrew Book data 90+% of the BHB bibliographic records are based on the NLI collection (others indicate location of item) But - very different forms of headings (orthography, cataloging standards, coding) and not always one-to-one equivalency In 2011 the NLI purchased the rights to the BHB and converted it to an open-access MARC format ALEPH database This year over half of the BHB records have been matched (automatically/semiautomatically) to the NLI catalog and links have been added
