    MARC Online: Immediate Access to Cataloguing Copy Through the DOBIS Bibliographic Pool
    (Haworth Press Inc., 1989) Westell, Mary E.
    A project to convert and make available current MARC records in a local online file is described. The University of Calgary Libraries use the IBM DOBIS integrated library system to support Acquisitions, Cataloguing, Circulation, and the Online catalogue. Rather than deriving cataloguing copy from a network or bibliographic utility, the library subscribes to the National Library's Canadian MARC Record Distribution Services, mounts the records on DOBIS and transfers them for ordering/cataloguing purposes.

    The Open Access (OA) suite at the University of Calgary: analysis and evaluation
    (2011-04-30) Westell, Mary E.; Waller, Andrew
    Over the last few years, Libraries and Cultural Resources (LCR) at the University of Calgary has built a suite of open access (OA)-related services. These include one of the largest institutional repositories in Canada, the first Open Access Authors Fund in Canada, a comprehensive digitization program, and OA journals and monographs in the University of Calgary Press. While these programs have been popular, there are important questions that need to be asked in terms of analysis of the LCR OA suite. How can the programs be evaluated? What constitutes success and impact? Are the programs meeting ever-changing user needs? Are the elements of the suite in line with what is happening in the OA community?
