LIBRIS (Library Information System) is a Swedish national union catalogue maintained by the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm.[1] It is possible to freely search about 6.5 million titles nationwide.[2]
In addition to bibliographic records, one for each book or publication, LIBRIS also contains an authority file of people. For each person there is a record connecting name, birth and occupation with a unique identifier.[citation needed]
Ex-Libris comes with a simple and organized user interface: the main window is separated in two areas, allowing you to easily browse your database, while the top toolbar provides access to all the frequently used tools. To add a new entry all you have to do is press the “New” button placed in the top left. The report includes all information shown on the Database Details page of each database. You can generate a Database Details report detailing information from your library's Client Center profile by following these steps: Click the Management Reports link in the Business Intelligence Tools section of the Client Center Home page. BIBFRAME is expressed in RDF and based on three categories of abstraction (work, instance, item), with three additional classes (agent, subject, event) that relate to the core categories. While the work entity in BIBFRAME may be 'considered as the union of the disjoint work and expression entities' in IFLA's Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) entity relationship model.
The MARC Code for the Swedish Union Catalog is SE-LIBR, normalized: selibr.[3]
The development of LIBRIS can be traced to the mid-1960s.[4] While rationalization of libraries had been an issue for two decades after World War II, it was in 1965 that a government committee published a report on the use of computers in research libraries.[5] The government budget of 1965 created a research library council (Forskningsbiblioteksrådet, FBR).[6] A preliminary design document, Biblioteksadministrativt Information System (BAIS) was published in May 1970, and the name LIBRIS, short for Library Information System, was used for a technical subcommittee that started on 1 July 1970.[7] The newsletter LIBRIS-meddelanden (ISSN0348-1891) has been published since 1972[8] and is online since 1997.[9]
