Coordinamento Servizi Informatici Bibliotecari di Ateneo |
| Università degli Studi di Lecce |
Since 1991 the University
of Lecce coordinates the SINM (Sistema Informativo Nazionale per la Matematica)
project in agreement with other Italian mathematics libraries.
In short, the SINM project aims at the development of a National Informative System
for Mathematics which will allow the Italian Mathematical community to have an
easy access to the bibliographic and full-text resources available in the libraries
of the field, in Internet and on CD-ROM. So, it pursues the following aims:
- the circulation
of the informative resources which are available in national and international
scene;
- the development
of the document delivery service;
- the development
of integrated catalogues and/or of distributed databases which can be consulted
through a single interface;
- the achievement
of the same organizative and semantic sphere in all libraries of the field.
Within the same
project, the University of Lecce coordinates the development and the revision
on-line of the National Catalogue of Mathematics and related sciences journals.
The catalogue is accessible using the WEB, at the address http://siba2.unile.it,
by a user friendly interface WaisIsisWeb (http://siba2.unile.it/archives/bibsearch.html).
This interface allows the user to find in an extremely simple way the desired
information and to ask automatically, by e-mail (clicking on the interested
library and on the relative address of e-mail), for the copies of journal articles
for exclusively scientific purposes, or directly to access to the electronic
journals (clicking on the proper link, if available).
Both a further enlargement and a revision of the Catalogue and the development
of the related services are planned.
The hypertextual links between the Catalogue and other on-line informative resources,
such as bibliographic and full-text databases, electronic journals and so on,
will be further developed.
Some initiatives and contacts are developing with Universities and Research
Organizations, with some producers and distributors of bibliographic and full-text
databases and with documentation services providers.
We are envisaging, in fact, the formulation of an interlibrarian plan to rationalize
the journals purchases and to share bibliographic and full-text databases using
Internet.
In agreement with SilverPlatter, we have activated the connection of the Catalogue
to the databases which can be consulted through ERL, in particular Current Contents
and MathSci.
In agreement with the editor of Zentralblatt fur Mathematik, scientific coordinator
of the EMIS, the European Mathematical Informative Service, we have also activated
the connection of the Catalogue to the MATH Database.
The dynamic links allows to extend automatically the search performed on Math
Database or on ERL databases (Current Contents and MathSci) to the Catalogue.
Besides, there are pending negotiations with the two editors for a larger and
easy access to the respective databases from the libraries which join the SINM.
We are very interested to extend the contacts and the cooperation with the American
Mathematical Society, with other Mathematical Associations, with Universities
and Research Organizations, with some producers and distributors of bibliographic
and full-text databases and with documentation services providers.
