Approach

Our aim is to ingest content from non-BHL member libraries in IA that supports the core collection of BHL. In doing so we do not see the casting of a wide net to be advantageous, rather the criteria for ingest must be refined to better target content relevant to the study of biodiversity.

The Collections Committee has observed the following content, irrelevant to the study of biodiversity, being ingested from IA into the BHL collection:

Irrelevant Material
Suspected Ingest Criterion
Recommendation
Materials ingested from the Joint Committee on Taxation ~ 70+ titles; titles deaccessioned from BHL on 6/4/2010
gov't doc nos. in 099 field read as LC call nos. for Agriculture ex. "S. Prt. Vol. 674-0007"
Do not match to call nos. in 099 field
Validation of ice skating protocol to predict aerobic power in hockey players / by Nicholas J. Petrella.
Respiration as subject heading
"Respiration" irrelevant term, remove from Ingest Criteria
A measure of meter conservation in music, based on Piaget's theory / by Mary Louise Serafine.
"S483m" in 099 read as LC call no. for Agriculture
Do not match to call nos. in 099 field
Keeping the body in health, by M. V. O'Shea and J. H. Kellogg
Physiology as subject heading
"Physiology" too broad a term, remove from Ingest Criteria
An abridgment of the hygienic physiology : with special reference to alcoholic drinks and narcotics. For the use of junior classes and common schools / by Joel Dorman Steele.
Physiology as subject heading
"Physiology" too broad a term, remove from Ingest Criteria

Upon review of the subject headings and call numbers associated with the irrelevant content we realize that the initial criteria used for ingest is too broad. Some titles from broad categories like hunting, physiology, or evolution are relevant but many are not. We realized that for the ingest of content from libraries whose collections are not necessarily focused on biodiversity subject matter, our criteria should be more strictly defined.

Relevant titles associated with such broad subject terms as "physiology" or "agriculture" can either be targeted for ingest or scanned from a BHL partner's collection. It is much easier to add specifically relevant titles like a book that details the phylogeny of crop plants than it is to find and eliminate all of the false positives that come into BHL and dilute its niche collection. The ingestion of fewer irrelevant titles provides a better experience for our core user groups, who largely come to BHL for biodiversity relevant content. It is easier to respond to specific requests to add titles that may be on the fringe of our core subject matter than to have to go back and eliminate large swaths of irrelevant content.

Subject Terms to be CUT from the Ingest Criteria

Note: These terms were included as part of the Ingest Criteria in the past but will no longer be included as part of the criteria for future ingests. While many of these terms are relevant to the BHL collection, they have been deemed inadequate for use as part of the Ingest -- they have a low ROI and are likely to bring in irrelevant content.

Subject Terms for EXCLUSION from the Ingest

Note: Merely the presence of any of these subject terms in a record means that the title should be excluded from the ingest, regardless of any other subject terms that may be associated with the record. For example, a title with the term "God" is not relevant to BHL even if the additional term "Evolution" is associated with the record.
