KBART project seeks input on e-holdings metadata in libraries and library consortia

[Peter Murray]

[I'm posting this on behalf of and at the request of the NISO/UKSG KBART project.]

Do you want to help develop the next Recommended Practice from KBART?

The Knowledge Bases And related Tools Project (KBART) - a NISO / UKSG initiative - would like to hear your views on the importance of holdings metadata for open access and free content; and holdings for consortia. If you are a publisher or intermediary and also want to comment, don’t worry – publisher survey coming soon!

We would like to hear from colleagues working with e-holdings metadata both in libraries and for consortia. What improvements do you seek in the representation of consortia specific packages and holdings within link resolver knowledge bases? How much effort do you spend locally on managing this metadata at present? Are you frustrated by the lack of representation of free and open access content from publishers alongside subscription content in your link resolver? Please help us refine the recommendations in this area by taking 10 minutes to complete the survey below.

In addition, if you are interested in keeping up to date with KBART and being involved with consultation and testing, please sign up to our KBART Interest mailing list - http://www.niso.org/lists/kbart_interest.

Thanks for your interest.
Best Wishes
KBART Project Group
