The April 2011 HathiTrust Update is Now Available Online

May 13, 2011 by Gary Price

Direct to HathiTrust Update (April 2011)

  • New PageTurner
    Online E-Reading Tool Enhanced
  • Local Digitization Ingest
    “Michigan staff worked with Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Yale University, and the University of Illinois in April on ingest of locally-digitized volumes.  We expect to begin ingest of volumes from Madrid in May, as well as the full set of volumes from Yale (a sample was ingested in December).”
  • Harvard University
    “Ingest of an initial set of more than 50,000 volumes from Harvard University was completed in April.”
  • Collections
    “The Collections Committee continues to work on a series of recommendations regarding duplicate volumes in HathiTrust, coordinated print management, and responding to users requests to contribute volumes to the repository.  A draft discussion paper on duplicates will be shared with the Strategic Advisory Board in June for initial feedback.”
  • Metadata
    “The HathiTrust Metadata Management System team completed development of the core database system in April, as well as an API to export bibliographic data in XML format. Approximately 200,000 records have been loaded into the system for initial testing. The team is analyzing MARC records from current content-contributing partner institutions, received from the University of Michigan, looking for irregularities and performing a general survey of the record set. CDL staff continue to interview for a Principal Metadata Analyst. Details on the project are available at http://www.hathitrust.org/htmms”
  • Full-text Search
    “Michigan staff began development work on priority features for full-text search as identified in the Full-Text Search Working Group’s report. The implementation team is focusing initially on relevance ranking of search results based on a combination of full-text OCR and bibliographic metadata, and on faceting of results using bibliographic metadata. The goal is to release significant new features that use the bibliographic data to enhance full-text search results by July 1, 2011.”
