Internet information management system
Here at Calvin College, we created Hobbes, a hybrid of CMS and intranet that
organizes Web site content and a variety of internal tools to help our libraries
complete their daily tasks.
When I became digital resources and reference/ instruction librarian in 1999 at
the Hekman Library at Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary, one of my
first tasks was to redesign the library's Web site. Like many of you who maintain Web
links to library resources, I quickly learned that offering access to a large number of
resources from an even larger number of static Web pages can never really be
described as efficient or professionally fulfilling.
In recent years, many libraries have created dynamic Web sites that are database-
driven, that is, maintained and populated with content stored within what can be
loosely termed a content management system (CMS). In 2001, Jed Koops, the
Hekman Library systems programmer, and I created a CMS called Hobbes (library
staff liked the play on the words "Calvin and Hobbes"). Since then, Hobbes has grown
into a hybrid of CMS and intranet to include not only Web site content, but also a
variety of internal tools used by librarians to help them complete some of their daily
tasks.
Hekman is a small academic library serving more than 4,200 students, 370
faculty, and many community patrons. The majority of the library's 1.7 million items
(books, e-books, journals, e-journals, microfiche, government documents, etc.) are
spread across 100,000 square feet over four floors. Hekman employs the full-time
equivalent of 17 staff, including eight professional librarians who also serve as
liaisons to all of the college's 25 academic departments. Access to all library resources
is provided through the online catalog (Sirsi), a digital media archive (Sirsi), and our
Web site, the Hekman Digital Library (HDL). Since its creation in 1997, the HDL has
grown from a mundane list of links and library information to the primary point of
access to all of the library's resources. In 2001, I created the current version of the
HDL.
Calvin and Hobbes: Managing Our Content Online
Hobbes is a Web-based tool that uses Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts
written in Perl to store, query, and return results from data stored in a series of related
SQL tables. Because it is Web-based, librarians can easily manage data without
knowing Perl or SQL and can be authenticated into the system using the college's
existing online directory By authenticating through a continually updated college
1
database of login names and passwords, we did not need to create our own. Users
added to the Hobbes environment have immediate access without needing to
remember yet another ID and password.
As a CMS, I initially envisioned Hobbes as a tool to help me to efficiently
manage the library's Web pages, specifically the growing number of subscription-
based resources. In the months after Jed and I implemented Hobbes, we realized that
it could be used to host tools that served the library's internal communication needs as
well. Over the course of 2 years, we added tools as they were thought of and created,
and placed them according to their function under tabs that are strung along the top of
the Hobbes environment (see Figure 1). Each librarian is given access to the tabs and
tools she needs based on her profile within Hobbes. Here I will describe each tab and
some of the major tools (or tables) placed within it. With each description, I have
included our label in parentheses to help you compare what you are reading to the
screen shots. To see how some of Hobbes' resources are displayed to the public,
please visit the HDL at http://www.calvin.edu/library.
Manager Tab (Manager)
The Manager tab is used primarily by Jed and me to administer the contents
within Hobbes. Since there are quite a few tools under the Manager tab (see Figure 1),
I'll briefly explain a number of these before moving on to the functions of the other
tabs.
Databases (TofDbs): Each research database record stored in a table of databases
(Tombs) contains the following fields that allow the resources to be displayed on the
HDL in a variety of helpful ways:
Alphabetical--Based on the first letter; can also include See Also references
Type--Citation index, abstracts, full text
Authentication--Whether the resource is accessed through IP authentication, for
free on the Web, on a CD-ROM, or through a print index
Full-text type--Describes a database's full-text content, such as journal or
newspaper articles, e-books, or even primary source historical documents
Vendor--Most useful for our librarians
Subject--In our case, based on the college's academic disciplines
Peer-reviewed/refereed--Has a field where instructions can be included on how to
limit a database search to peer-reviewed/ refereed articles
Citation examples--Includes a field that shows examples of citation styles for
material found in the database. We created a Web page on how to cite electronic
2
resources, and this page displays a list of full-text databases. When clicked, it brings
the user to an information page that offers examples of how to cite the full-text
content.
Descriptors--Terms that describe the database and its contents, making it possible
for patrons to search for appropriate databases. However, we turned off the search
feature on the HDL, because many patrons thought that by searching for a database,
they were actually searching the contents of the database itself.
Microforms (TofMic): Web pages that describe our microform sets are stored as
records in a table of microforms. In addition to a brief description of the microform
set, each TofMic record includes detailed contents information. For some sets, this
means a reel-by-reel description or a detailed bibliography For sets that have
individual MARC records in our online catalog, we display a WebCat search box that
limits searches to the appropriate microform set.
Reference (TofRef): The college's academic departments each have an assigned
library liaison. One role of the liaison is to maintain a Web page that highlights library
resources that are important to the department, such as databases, microform sets, and
reference sets. Each liaison can add Web resources that she considers important for
her departments.
Staff (Staff): In addition to displaying staff information on the HDL, creating a
table of staff members allows each of the librarians to be authenticated into Hobbes.
Like Tombs records, the staff record contains many fields that allow them to be used
in a variety of ways:
Login name (based on the college's LDAP server)
Status--Librarian, support staff, student assistant
Office location, office hours, and phone number
Responsibility--These show up in the HDL's A-Z Index, so that users can look
for, say, the cataloging librarian
Birthday (so we all know when to expect treats!)
Access level--This determines the Hobbes tabs (and tables within the tabs) that
each staff member has access to. For example, the circulation manager only has
access to the Lib Hours, Minutes, and Lib Resources tabs.
A-Z Index of this Web site (A-Z Index): Entries that appear on the HDL's "A-Z
Index of this web site" bring together records from several tables into one place,
including the A-Z Index table, the TofDbs, TofMic, TofRef, and Staff table (see Figure
2).
