An OAI-PMH set for ISSN data at the Norwegian ISSN national centre

Data exchange between the Norwegian ISSN national centre at the National Library in Oslo and the ISSN International Centre in Paris is now based (since March 2017) on the OAI-PMH protocol.

In this new framework, ISSN cataloguers in Norway directly produce ISSN records in the cataloguing environment of their institution; these records, as soon as they are validated by their system, are automatically exposed through a dedicated “ISSN set” in MarcXML (Marc 21) through the library OAI-PMH server.

This “ISSN set” is regularly harvested by the ISSN International Centre in order to feed directly the ISSN Register with the output.

This new workflow is similar to the one already set up last year at the German ISSN Centre at the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB) in Frankfurt and paves the way for more streamlined contributions to the ISSN Register from other countries of the ISSN network.

The National Library of Colombia and the ISSN National Centre of Colombia, invite you to a free talk about topics related to the assignment process, benefits and uses of identifiers like ISSN, ISBN and DOI for publications. The Directory of Editors and Providers set up by the National Library of Colombia will also be presented.

This free talk will be held on May 18th, from 8 a.m to 12 p.m, in the Auditorium German Arciniegas at the National Library of Colombia.

Entrance free. No registration needed.

The ISSN International Centre will participate in the 19th Fiesole Collection Development Retreat about the future of libraries, publishing, collections, and scholarship from the 19th to the 21st of April 2017 hosted by LILLIAD Learning center Innovation in the city of Lille, France.
