BnF main topics – 2013 – access
and preservation sides
• Merging professional and public WB
– Various optimizations
– Clickable permalink…
• Draw links between web archives and BnF indexing and
promotion tools
– general catalogue, data.bnf.fr…
• Open access to web archives in regional libraries
– Legal and technical aspects
• Start ingesting our web archives in our digital repository
Direct deposit for e-books?
• High-level discussions between National
Publishers Union and BnF
– A better international framework: IFLA
statement on legal deposit, FEP/CENL
declaration…
• Why not crawling?
– A better unitary indexation of each e-book
– No problems of DRMs
– Discussing directly with publishers
Direct deposit for e-books? /
technical side
• A technical layer is available: the extranet for
publishers
– 2011: digital legal deposit forms
– 2012/3: direct transfer of metadata (ONIX)
– 2013/4: ebooks?
• What do we need to decide?
– Who will be the main interlocutor?
– How many and what kind of formats? What
validation? Is it possible to refuse?
– What link between the paper and digital version in the
catalogue?
– What access tool? Gallica or web archives?
RESAW project : some keywords

institutions)

Texas
• Portal and shared access

Questions and comments
• The networked we dream about!
• Some objectives already (partially)
covered by IIPC
– standards, interoperability, shared portal
• Legal issues will be very difficult to solve
• Be cautious with the term “quality” (prefer
relevancy for specific goals?)
• What will you ask for?
– Money, doctoral students, engineers…
