Cultural differences between libraries, archives and museums? Experiences from BAM, the joint portal for libraries, archives and museums in Germany. Presentation on the World Library and Information Congress: 75th IFLA General Conference and Assembly, "Libraries create futures: Building on cultural heritage", 23-27 August 2009, Milan, Italy

  • BAM, the joint portal for Libraries, Archives and Museums in Germany, considers itself to be a digital memory institution. Currently the portal holds more than 40 million records from a wide range of cultural institutions, some 37 million data sets from six libraries or union catalogs, 2.9 million data sets from eleven archives, 300.000 data sets from twenty museums and 800.000 data sets from other institutions. These significant differences in numbers of data sets are not only due to the size of the holdings of the participating institutions but also to “cultural differences” between libraries, archives, and museums in creating records and collaborating in union catalogs. The paper describes those differences from the perspective of the BSZ, the hosting organization of BAM, and a major contributor to BAM, the Foundation Prussian Cultural Heritage (Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz), Berlin. The point of view is specific for the situation in Germany and might differ from the situation in other countries. There are certainly other important issues that are not mentioned here as we chose to take a perspective specific for BAM.
  • Der Beitrag beleuchtet die unterschiedliche Herangehensweise der formalen und inhaltlichen Erschließung von Archivalien, Medien und Objekten in Archiven, Bibliotheken und Museen in Deutschland und somit deren "kulturellen Unterschiede", gerade auch im Hinblick der uneinheitlichen Datenlieferung an das BAM-Portal. Die Abkürzung BAM steht für ein gemeinsames Internetangebot von Bibliotheken, Archiven und Museen in Deutschland. Das BAM-Portal bietet wissenschaftlichen Nutzern und der interessierten Öffentlichkeit einen direkten Zugang zu Bibliotheksgut, Archivalien, Museumsobjekten und zu Materialien aus allen anderen kulturgutbewahrenden Einrichtungen. Ziel des BAM-Portals ist es, Kulturgut auf nationaler Ebene zentral zugänglich zu machen. (Vortrag bei der 75. IFLA-Konferenz mit dem Thema "Libraries create futures: Building on cultural heritage" vom 23.-27. August 2009 in Mailand, Italien)
