XISBN experimental use

Lorcan Dempsey

XISBN being used in UKOLN’s demonstrator OpenURL application. Andy Powell writes:

This looks pretty interesting. It uses knowledge of WorldCat and the IFLA Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model to work up from any given ISBN to the ‘work’, then back down to other ‘expressions’/’manifestations’ of the same work. I.e. give it an ISBN, and it returns a list of associated ISBNs. I’ve incorporated this Web service into OpenResolver, UKOLN’s demonstrator OpenURL resolver. To try it, go to the sample reading list page at:

Libraries and library studies

I wrote this piece on libraries and possible educational responses as part of a longer contribution on the informational disciplines and the iSchool. A principal goal was to suggest that libraries present interesting and challenging research and educational questions, which cross disciplines.
