“…They also showed how the establishing item-specific terms for General Material Designations can be useful for implementing RDA for library’ consortiums, even the multi-linguistic ones. Finally, Van Kleeck et al (2016) displayed how the Cataloging and Discovery Services Department in the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida developed various quality management measures that were employed to evaluate its cataloging workflows (print and electronic resources, legacy data and both pre- and post-ingest data streams) (Van Kleeck et al , 2016, p. 452).…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to investigate how Swiss public libraries are experiencing a normative revolution connected to new cataloging standards, such as RDA and the FRBRization of catalogs. Design/methodology/approach-Thanks to semi-structured interviews, the paper analyzes the current positioning of Swiss public libraries on the "bibliographic transition" issue by using a case study of the network of municipal libraries in Geneva. Findings-In Switzerland, the federal and multi-linguistic structure of the library networks increases the organizational obstacles to the adoption of new cataloging principles and formats. At the local level, the Swiss municipal libraries have to cope with this complexity to transform their structures and continue to offer competitive and effective services to their users. Practical implications-The paper proposes six scenarios of technology watershed for the analyzed case study and their consequences for cataloging standards and rules. Social implications-The paper shows how the adoption of technological and conceptual innovations has to be done in the face of real organizational and administrative constraints, especially in the case of public lending libraries. Originality/value-The paper analyzes at the empirical and theoretical levels how, especially in Switzerland, the variety of governance levels and linguistic areas have made strategizing more complex for public lending libraries.

Despite the increase in scientific publications in the field of integrative medicine over the past decades, a valid overview of published evidence remains challenging to get. The online literature database CAMbase (available at https://cambase.de) is one of the established databases designed to provide such an overview. In 2020, the database was migrated from a 32-bit to a 64-bit operating system, which resulted in unexpected, technical issues and forced the replacement of the semantic search algorithm with Solr, an open-source platform that uses a score ranking algorithm. Although semantic search was replaced, the goal was to create a literature database that is essentially no different from the legacy system. Therefore, a before-after analysis was conducted to compare first the number of retrieved documents and then their titles, while the titles were syntactically compared using two Sentence-Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (SBERT) models. Analysis with a paired t-test revealed no significant overall differences between the legacy system and the final system in the number of documents (t =− 1.41, df = 35, p = 0.17), but an increase in performance (t = 4.13, df = 35, p < 0.01). Analysis with a t-test for independent samples of the values from the models also revealed a high degree of consistency between the retrieved documents. The results show that an equivalent search can be provided by using Solr, while improving the performance, making this technical report a viable blueprint for projects with similar contexts.
