Maren Brodersen, Lavinia Hodoroaba Navigation in the KOBV-Informationsportal Conceptual View

Abstract: The KOBV Informationsportal aims to be a universal gateway to the sources of information hosted by the partner libraries from the Berlin-Brandenburg area. Due to the large number of these sources, an intuitive navigation is an essential component of the portal. The navigation-component should preserve the partner libraries? independence and overcome their administrative and technical differences.
This paper proposes a collection-level navigation with four dimensions: the sources? subject areas (e.g. the first two levels of DDC), the sources? type (e.g. e-journals, databases, OPACs, etc.), the sources? location (e.g. Berlin, Brandenburg) / the library that hosts that source and the sources? accessing state (e.g. free, restricted, etc.).
