Abstract

We describe the automatic method of importation of meta data, developed in the Scientific Information Service, SIS, at CERN. The program, called Uploader, allows importation into the CERN library databases of bibliographic records and full text documents harvested from several Internet sources. The database sources offer essentially grey literature in physics and related subjects (e.g. DOE, KEK, Math-Doc, TipTop, etc.). This acquisitions policy is dependent on the automatic treatment of electronic resources and raises questions concerning the growing number of documents collected and on the enlargement of the subjects treated. Our constant efforts to enrich this meta data and to facilitate access to it, via the hyperlink model, brings new professional aspects to libraries.
