Reminder - Please join us for this important panel discussion at Midwinter:
ALCTS E-Resource Interest Group (ERIG) Midwinter Meeting
Saturday, January 16th, 10:30am-12:00pm.
BCEC-Room 253A
TOPIC: “In the ‘Know’: E-Resource Knowledge Base Management and Best
Practices”
PANEL:
Title: Users Love It but it Sure is a Lot of Work!
What are the day-to-day issues of dealing with these systems and
databases as they now exist? With all of the LABOR involved in keeping
everything up to date, how could a collaborative knowledgebase help?
This talk will also describe how Innovative's ERM product is used in
conjunction with the TDNet KnowledgeBase at Tufts.
Charlotte Keys
Director, University Library Technology Services
Title: Call number, please!
At the top of my wish-list for KB products is the inclusion of Library
of Congress Classification Numbers, for the purpose of sorting titles by
academic discipline. Accreditation reviews generally require a statement
of support from the supporting library. As more and more resources –
especially journals – are made available electronically, it becomes
increasingly difficult to generate the required lists of resources
without the Library of Congress call numbers. If a library does not have
the financial resources to purchase or license MARC records, the LC Call
number must be entered manually into the KB by the library staff,
rendering the task almost insurmountable and potentially riddled with
errors. Bring other wish-list items to this session!

Title: KBART: improving the data supply to knowledge bases and openUrl
link resolvers
As the UKSG/NISO KBart recommended practice is released, we’ll examine
its core and discuss its implications for electronic resource librarians
and knowledge base management.
Jason Price, Head of Collections & Acquisitions - Claremont Colleges'
Library
eResource Package Analyst - Statewide California Electronic Library
Consortium
Member of NISO/UKSG KBART Working Group
Title: Processes, successes and challenges with building and maintaining
a central e-resource KnowledgeBase: A vendor’s perspective
KnowledgeBases are a central part of systems dealing with e-resources
such as OpenURL link resolvers and ERMs. They have to be generic enough
to serve a broad base of system users, as well as specific enough to
mirror each institutions' local holdings. The presentation describes,
using the example of the SFX KnowledgeBase, the work involved in dealing
with publisher relations, obtaining new and updated data that describe
packages and their content, correcting, cleaning, loading and
distributing of data and responding to individual customer requests. It
will address the workflows and procedures involved in updating and
maintaining the data and the challenges involved with data accuracy and
currentness. Ex Libris is an active member of KBART and as part of the
presentation will explain its expectations and experiences with this
initiative.
Christine Stohn
SFX Product Manager, Ex Libris
Also hear an update from David Fritsch of JSTOR on their Current
Scholarship Program.
