RLUK_Mike: David Prosser: some key themes - the necessity not just the choice of collaboration; advocacy; evidence (metadata & case studies) #rluksafe
RLUK_Mike: Would a next generation solution be 2 rapidly digitize title pages & use visual pattern recognition 2 deduplicate our collections? #rluksafe
RLUK_Mike: How should we take the #rluksafe work forward: can we expect a top-down model or are we the community the likely operative force here?

CURL ISLP - iCAS Collection Mapping Project
CURL and RSLP have just agreed the co-funding of a collection analysis project. The project will map library collections against LC Conspectus headings using the iCAS software developed by OCLC/Lacey . The project will produce an analysis at division/ category/subject level and an analysis of overlap and uniqueness for the six participants as a whole and will also provide an analysis at division/category/subject/title level for each participant.
Once completed the project will identify potential for further development in the area of collection mapping and could be an important tool for collection development.
There are three CURL and three non-CURL libraries participating in the project:
| Edinburgh University Library | |
| Hull University Library | |
| Imperial College (including the Science Museum) | |
| Liverpool University Library | |
| Natural History Museum Library | |
| School of Oriental and African Studies |
These libraries reflect a mix of those with specialist collections and those with broader collections as well as a range of different classification schemes, some standard and others in-house or hybrid systems.
