Ingest Criteria Revised
Back to Ingest Review | Collections Committee Discussion | Collection Development Home
New Criteria for Future Ingests
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:
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.

Subject Terms for ADDITION to the Ingest Criteria
Note: Learning through ingest -- these terms should be added to the Ingest Criteria because they are relevant subject terms that have been brought into the BHL collection as a result of the ingest to date. Although these terms have not been associated with any core BHL collections thus far, they have demonstrated their ability to bring in relevant additions to the collection.
