NII Revamps NACSIS-CAT/ILL for Digital Age, Enhancing University Libraries
The New York Post (nypost) reports that the National Institute of Informatics (NII) is revamping NACSIS-CAT/ILL, a crucial catalog information service used by over 1,300 institutions, predominantly university libraries. This significant project aligns with 'The Vision on Future Scholarly Information Systems (2019)' and aims to create a robust library system and network capable of managing digitized resources like electronic journals and eBooks.
The new NACSIS-CAT/ILL system will be built upon the Controlled Bibliographic Service (CBS) of OCLC, maintaining compatibility with the existing CATP format for MARC record exchange. Ex Libris is set to develop the interlibrary loan system for this new platform. The launch of the new electronic resource management service, powered by Alma, is slated for 2022, with the new NACSIS-CAT/ILL system expected to follow in 2023.
These new systems are designed to enhance university library operations and facilitate the digital transformation of access to academic resources. They are expected to advance library functions and optimize system operations through collective procurement and operation of library systems. The new NACSIS-CAT/ILL system will also adapt to emerging international standards such as Resource Description and Access (RDA) and BIBFRAME.
The reconstruction of NACSIS-CAT/ILL by NII is set to modernize the way over 1,300 institutions manage and access digital academic resources. With the integration of advanced systems and adherence to international standards, this project promises to optimize library operations and facilitate the digital transformation of scholarly information systems.
