Creation of the Database
BazTech has been designed and developed by the Consortium of 22 Academic and Special Libraries since 1998. The Project is financed with fund awarded by the State Committee for Scientific Research and Ministry of National Education. The Main Library of the University of Technology and Agriculture in Bydgoszcz coordinates the Project. The database is hosted on the server at the Interdisciplinary Center for Mathematical and Computational Modeling of the Warsaw University (ICM UW) within the framework of the project "Virtual Scientific Library"
The first step in the process of designing the database was the selection of periodicals to be indexed and developing of instructions. A common list of journals subscribed by the cooperating libraries and also the rules for indexing have been prepared. Initially creating the records on base original journal in print has been decided. However, for some time now we receive a lot of information in electronic format from publishers.
There are following phases in the process of the database creation:
- indexing (creation of records) locally in 22 libraries by means of specially tailored program"Editor",
- transmission of records with FTP protocol for the technical coordinator in Bydgoszcz,
- integration and verification of records using specially adapted computer "Coordinator",
- online transmission of data for the ICM.
