• 71 nodes– 4,500 libraries all over the country
– national, university, local and specialist
• Over 11 M bibliographic descriptions– authors: over 3 M
– holding locations: 55 M

SBN governance (1)

SBN steering committee: partner representatives (chaired by the Culture Minister)
responsible for the SBN policy and strategy
SBN partners • Ministry for cultural heritage and activities (MiBAC)• Ministry of education, university and research (MIUR)• Ministry for public administration and innovation• Conference of the Italian Regions • Union of the Italian Provinces (UPI)• National Association of the Italian municipalities (ANCI)
SBN governance (2)

SBN technical committee:• ICCU director• 1 representative of MiBAC-DG for libraries• 13 representatives appointed by the steering committee (policy makers, technicians, specialists)
SBN: technical features
• Open architecture based on common internet protocols:– TCP/IP, HTTP, XML/XSL, SOAP, JMS etc…
• Easy integration with other systems:– based on Java Platform 2 Enterprise Edition
• High performance and reliability– Unix platforms and Java multi-threaded
services– High performance relational DBMS (Oracle
RDBMS)
13
SBN: functionalities
Web interface for central cataloguing functions:– authority files management;– quality control and revision (corrections,
elimination of duplicates)
and data exchange– import/export of bibliographic records
14
SBN: shared cataloguing
SBN libraries work independently and integrate their work into a cooperative system based on a national network.
• SBN is an architecture for a cooperative library services network:– Central Union Catalogue (Index) at national level– Union Catalogues (Nodes) at regional and local levels
• The Union Catalogue uses structured data, not flat records (i.e. MARC format)
– records are registered only once and reused afterwards (captured)
– records can be improved through different levels of correction (levels of authority)
– modifications and updating are sent to all participating libraries
The SBN MARC protocol
The solution for the interoperability between the Union Catalogue (Index) and the LMSs is guaranteed by the SBN MARC protocol, based on 'request' (libraries => Index) and 'response' (Index =>libraries)
• The xsd schema is freely available (http://www.iccu.sbn.it/genera.jsp?id=147&l=it)
• It is based on international standards (UNICODE UTF-8, ISBD, etc.) and uses MARC semantic elements and an xml syntax
16
SBN: offline services
• Import– Preparatory or executive elaboration– Documents, authority entries– Formats: UNIMARC, MARC21, SBN-MARC
• Export– Documents, authority entries– Formats: UNIMARC, MARC21, SBN-MARC

Access to OPAC
OPAC is integrated in:• Internet Culturale, the portal of the
digital resources of the Italian libraries (www.internetculturale.it)
• CulturaItalia, the Italian culture portal (www.culturaitalia.it)
• The European Library, the portal of the European national libraries (www.theeuropeanlibrary.org)
Internet Culturale• IC is the portal of the Italian libraries; it provides access to the
heritage of public libraries and prestigious Italian cultural institutions.
• Thanks to IC, the user can search and browse both bibliographic information and digital collections
• IC offers digital and multimedia resources provided by the participating institutions to deepen specific topics, from literature to science, art, and music
The mission• It promotes knowledge, valorisation, and availability of the
heritage of the Italian libraries and cultural and research institutions
• IC can fulfil the requirements of users with different education, interests, and age; Internet Culturale is absolutely necessary for students and researchers
Data basesInternet Culturale allows integrated searches in 20 millions news
from:
• Opac SBN: 12 M bibliographic records• Manus (Census of the manuscripts held by the Italian libraries):
120,000 records• Edit16 (Census of the Italian printed editions from XVI century):
64,000 records• ReMI (Italian music network): 9,000 records from Archivio Ricordi• Digital library: 8 M files (jpg, mp3, text) from the digital
collections• Internet Culturale Multimedia content: virtual exhibitions, 3D
itineraries, cultural routes)• Historical catalogues (215 historical catalogues from 35
libraries): almost 7M (soon available)
From the homepage user can access the Digital library to search and retrieve information on manuscripts, printed volumes, audio files, photographs, engravings, drawings, and many other stuff on literature, arts and sciences. (8 millions of images)

Internet Culturale in depthsThe ‘Explore’ item gives access to multimedia resources with in depth
content:
• Digital library – informative reports on the digital collections and access to the content
• Itineraries – focuses that merge cultural content with historical, geographical, and scientific ones on institutions, documents, digital objects
• Virtual exhibitions – online exhibitions of equivalent real exhibitions organised by libraries and cultural institutions
• 3D itineraries – literary, artistic, scientific, and musical events realised in 3D
• Authors and literary works – monographs on Italian writers, scientists and musicians and their works
Standards
• Bibliographic and digital databases in the MetaIndex are mapped to DC
• The Digital library database is realised with MAG (Metz compliant)
• Content providers transfer their data through OAI-MPH
• Metadata of the Digital Library are mapped to PICO towards CulturaItalia
MagTeca: a service for all
ICCU created in 2005 a digital repository (MagTeca) for all libraries and cultural institutions that create digital collections but don’t have an institutional digital repository.
MagTeca offers a free service for the management and preservation of metadata and low and medium resolution images.
MagTeca software was renewed in 2010 as well as
the hardware. Software can be distributed for free to cultural institutions.
CulturaItalia
On-line since April 2008CulturaItalia in Europeana: 1.652,000 sent through OAI-PMH
Interoperable with MICHAEL, the MiBAC and the Regions informative systems
National aggregator of museums, libraries, archives content:more than 2 M records inside!
Mission To make the digital cultural resources already existing available and searchable online To realise the interoperability of the Italian content and services
Mission and content
Each provider holds the rights on the digital objects shown through the portal and is responsible for their maintenance and update
Editorial content 27.000 news and articles to bring out the metadata and the digital resources harvested
Directory of cultural websites More than 5,200 selected websites
Multimedia450
Catalogue of metadataUp to now, beyond 2,000,000 records
Standards integrationICCU, in cooperation with the Central Institute for
cataloguing and documentation (ICCD) and the DG for Archives of the Italian Ministry,
is working for the harmonization of the metadata standards of the ALM sectors in a cross-domain perspective.
• MAG (conceived for the Italian libraries) is mapped into METS• PICO (the national cross-domain application profile) is based on
DC
OAI PMH is nowadays the most common way for the data
transmission among the MiBAC’s informative systems.
