BDSL-Online |
http://www.bdsl-online.de |
| The Bibliographie der deutschen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft (Engl.: Bibliography of German Language and Literature Research) was started in 1957 by Hanns W. Eppelsheimer of the University of Frankfurt and continued by Clemens Köttelwesch. It is the largest and most authoritative index of published research on all areas of German philology. Long available as a hard-to-use CD-ROM, it went online earlier in 2004 as a joint project of the Frankfurt University Library and the German publisher V. Klostermann. GNARP representatives negotiated a reduced subscription price for its membership. Thirty-two GNARP members took part in a full-scale trial in February and March 2004, contributing numerous suggestions that have already improved the interface. A consortium account has been set up at the Center for Research Libraries for all U.S. participant institutions. Currently, more than 25 GNARP members are subscribing to BDSL-Online. | |
Digitale Bibliothek deutscher Klassiker |
http://klassiker.chadwyck.com |
| A Chadwyck-Healey product, the Digitale Bibliothek deutscher Klassiker brings together fully searchable (and cross-searchable) digital editions of 133 titles in the Bibliothek deutscher Klassiker of the Deutscher Klassiker Verlag (DKV) series. Comparable to the Library of America or the French Bibliothèque de la Pleïade of Gallimard, these texts have been newly edited by leading international scholars and are accompanied by extensive commentaries. The works include a broad range of materials, from the writings of medieval German mystic Meister Eckhart and the renowned writings on war by Carl von Clausewitz and Hellmuth von Moltke (over 1,000 pages), to a complete online edition of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm (over 1,300 pages). Negotiating as a consortium, GNARP achieved a 50 percent discount on this important resource. Nine GNARP members—and two CRL members not part of GNARP—have benefited from this arrangement. MARC records are in preparation and GNARP and the publisher have initiated joint development of an updated interface. | |

Translating the Thesaurus of the Pictorial Archive of the German Colonial Society |
http://www.ub.bildarchiv-dkg.uni-frankfurt.de |
| The Bildarchiv der Deutschen Kolonialgesellschaft, hosted by the University of Frankfurt Library, is an online, fully searchable archive of 50,000 nineteenth and early twentieth century photographs once owned by the German Colonial Society. In October 2003, GNARP received a request from colleagues in Frankfurt to help make the site searchable in English. Helene Baumann of Duke University, the GNARP contact partner for African Studies, volunteered to lead the effort. With a Coutts Nijhoff grant from the Western European Studies Section (WESS) of ACRL, Baumann has launched a project with Frankfurt Africanists that ultimately aspires to establish global searches of historical archives of African colonial photographs in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States. | |

AACR2 German Translation |

The Bibliographic Control working group engaged in a cooperative international undertaking to translate the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) into German. Roger Brisson, then Coordinator of the German Resources Project; Heidi Hutchinson, librarian at the University of California, Riverside; and Monika Münich of the University of Heidelberg Library coordinated the effort. The translation project was completed in 2002 and published by Saur Verlag: Anglo-Amerikanische Katalogisierungsregeln (ISBN: 3-598-11432-X). For more information about the book click on the link above or search for “Anglo-Amerikanische Katalogisierungsregeln” on the publisher’s web site: http://www.saur.de/index.cfm. |
MARC/AACR2 Cataloging for the Bibliothek der deutschen Literatur |
http://www.ddb.de/eng/service/zd/bibl_dt_lit.htm |
| In 2002, GNARP converted 15,161 MARC records for the large microform set Bibliothek der deutschen Literatur from the RAK German cataloging standard to AACR2. This collection contains microform reproductions of important German first editions, published by K.G. Saur, in the humanities and social sciences. The collection is held by approximately 35 U.S. and Canadian libraries. The conversion added 1,248 new names to the OCLC authority file, provided provenance information for the print originals, and replaced all German meta-language with correct English-language equivalents. In addition, these records are available as a WorldCat set from OCLC or through the German National Library at a substantial discount (though lacking local customization) at http://www.ddb.de/eng/service/zd/bibl_dt_lit.htm. MARC records for Supplement 2 to the Bibliothek der deutschen Literatur were completed in the summer of 2006 and contain 1579 MARC21 records. Forthcoming projects include conversion projects for the World Biographical Information System and Große Künstlerlexika vom 16. bis zum frühen 19. Jahrhundert. | |
