The FCLA Endeca Project
By Michele Newberry
M.Newberry 2
Why ENDECA?
Already proven by NCSU Build on NCSU’s work instead of starting
from zero Product features:
Guided navigation Facets Spellcheck Stemming Others yet to be fully explored
M.Newberry 3
Pending upgrade
Jumping 2 releases to v.18 None of the 15.5 customization will
survive the upgrade process Resource commitment to sustain level of
customization is low Familiarity with previous system is
declining Upgrade process will take 4 months for
the 11 Aleph instances
M.Newberry 4
Other objectives
Provide a consistent transition interface during the upgrade process
Gain discovery and navigation functionality not currently available
Gain a union catalog – a byproduct of our previous system not yet available with the current one
M.Newberry 5
Endeca architecture
One instance of Endeca One Endeca database 7 million records One instance of user interface with
individual institution views Easy interface modification Rapid, iterative development

Building the Endeca File
Extract bib records with 852 fields from 11 Aleph databases
Load 1st into 12th Aleph bib file (UX) Load 2nd file-deduping on OCLC
number – merge unique and local data (e.g., 852/856/headings/notes…)
Load file3 … file11 Load Digital Library metadata Extract UX bib file to load into Endeca
M.Newberry 7
Building the Endeca Catalog
Full extraction, reformatting and load takes 48 hours – will be done every few weeks
Incremental updates of adds/significant changes
Current holdings status retrieved from Aleph via SQL in real-time

Next steps …
OPAC Subcommittee is examining Data integrity Functionality Appearance Usability Accessibility
CIRC/ILL Subcommittee will be looking at future SUS-wide request capabilities
M.Newberry 38
Next steps …
Technical Services Planning Committee is looking at: Aleph indexing changes for v.18 and
the effect on Endeca Examining use of material type codes
for more user-friendly results Processes to optimize the consistency
of the bibliographic and holdings data feeding into Endeca
M.Newberry 39
Much further down the road
Technical Services Planning Committee will be looking at
Feasibility of sharing bibliographic records to: Reduce duplication of effort Share authority control Redirect resources into enhancing the
data Reduce level of effort to produce the
Endeca database
