• 1 - The need for a registry
• 2 - Description of the registry
• 3 - European participation

1 - The need for a registry

• avoid duplication of effort
• optimise available funding
• improve access to digital material
• create standards metadata, digitisation,
  access
• develop best practice in the field
• more access at less cost collaboratively
  build a greater mass of digital materials than we
  could achieve individually

4

• Foundations..
• Digital Library Federation catalyst
• Initial working group commenced in 2001
• CLIR, Columbia, Harvard, Michigan, OCLC
• Developed functional requirements
• Developed bibliographic record standards
• Agreed digitisation standards and best practice
• First institutions prepare files of records to
  seed registry

5
Scope of the Registry

• information about reproductions of monographs
  and serials originally published in paper format
• defined as copies intended to preserve the
  original appearance
• of published materials must include digital
  images of all pages
• in original
• born digital monographs and serials

6
Summary Registry Purpose
By recording materials in the Registry,
institutions are signalling the intent to
preserve and maintain the accessibility of the
described materials over an extended timeframe
(decades or centuries, not years). This implies
that materials are digitised carefully, complying
with established standards and best practices and
are stored in professionally managed
systems Digital Library Federation

First and next steps

• Agreement to explore model for the exchange of
  records
• EROMM provided sample file to OCLC
• OCLC to provide sample file to EROMM
• Joint meeting to explore outcomes
