The document summarizes the KBART (Knowledge Bases and Related Tools) Recommended Practice, which aims to improve the accuracy and consistency of data transfer between publishers, vendors, and libraries. It outlines common problems with inaccurate or inconsistent data in knowledge bases and catalogues. The KBART Recommended Practice establishes best practices and standard formats for transferring essential data elements like titles, dates, and access rights to improve data quality and reduce manual data cleaning efforts. Adopting its guidelines could help automate data exchange and end the need for "translating" publisher lists and tracking down title changes.

KBART update ER&L 2009
The document discusses the KBART working group, which aims to improve the effectiveness of OpenURL linking by addressing problems with holdings data accuracy, OpenURL implementation, and lack of knowledge about OpenURL. The group is developing best practice guidelines for data transfer between publishers, link resolvers, and libraries. This will help produce more accurate and consistent links from bibliographic citations to full text content.
Link Resolvers, Knowledgebases and the KBART Working Group
In recent years, link resolver technology has become integral to ensuring successful institutional access to electronic content. The corresponding take-up of OpenURL compliance among content providers in response has resulted in a global solution to the ‘appropriate copy’ problem. However, this solution is only effective if the knowledge base behind the link resolver is up to date, accurate and comprehensive and is a factor that is often overlooked in establishing OpenURL compliance. This presentation explores the importance of OpenURL and knowledge bases to the information community as a whole and provides an overview and update of the role that the KBART (Knowledge Bases and Related Tools) working group has to play in improving knowledge base metadata.
KBART, a joint initiative between NISO and UKSG, is a working group comprised of stakeholders (libraries, content providers, and knowledgebase vendors) seeking to improve the metadata supply chain to the knowledgebases that OpenURL linker resolvers depend on. The aim of this work is improved quality and consistency of metadata that knowledgebases receive from content providers, ensuring a better experience for library patrons. The first set of recommendations was announced in January of this year. Since then several content providers and knowledgebase vendors have endorsed KBART guidelines. Learn about the experiences of content providers and linking vendors that have taken up KBART Phase 1 recommendations and the working group’s plans for next phase. Discover what libraries can do to improve the metadata exchange between content vendors and the knowledgebases they use.

Marjorie Hlava, President, Access Innovations, Inc. and Data HarmonyPresentation federated search
The document discusses federated search engines, which allow simultaneous searching of multiple distributed information sources from a single search interface. Federated search engines provide access to the "deep web" that common search engines cannot index. They work by submitting user queries to various deep web resources and aggregating the results. The document compares features of federated search engines to normal search engines. It also outlines criteria for selecting the best federated search engine, and provides examples like MetaLib and WebFeat.
Federated Search Falls Short
The document summarizes an evaluation of a federated search implementation at Booth Library, Eastern Illinois University. Key findings from analyzing search logs and user statistics over multiple years include: (1) users had significantly more searches and views of full records in native databases compared to the federated search, (2) databases interpreted search queries differently which impacted relevancy of results, (3) proper staffing, training, and statistics tracking are needed for a federated search to be effective. The evaluation highlights the reality that expectations often do not match actual user behaviors and search capabilities.
The Kaleidoscope of Impact: same data, different perspectives, constantly cha...
Scholars, scientists, academic institutions, publishers and funders are all interested in impact. We have different roles and goals, and therefore different reasons for needing to understand impact; we are therefore asking different questions about impact, and those questions continue to evolve, much as the concept of impact itself is evolving. To answer our different questions, do we need different data, in separate silos, or are we looking at the same data, from different angles? This session gathered researcher, library, publisher and metrics provider perspectives to consider who has an interest in impact, what data they are interested in, how they use it, and how the situation is evolving as e.g. business models and technical infrastructures shift.
Introduction to FundRef Webinar
This document discusses FundRef, a registry of funder names and IDs hosted by CrossRef. It aims to standardize the reporting of funding sources for published research. The registry currently contains 4000 funders from Elsevier's SciVal database. Publishers will collect funding data from authors using the FundRef taxonomy and deposit it to CrossRef, allowing linking of publications to funding. This will help funders, researchers, and institutions track research outputs and outputs. The FundRef pilot is launching at the end of May 2013.

- The document discusses open science and how greater collaboration and data sharing between pharmaceutical companies, academia, and other groups could help accelerate drug discovery. It argues that pre-competitive data and models being made freely accessible in public domains could deliver high value.
- It provides examples of existing open databases and tools but notes that more coordinated efforts are needed to clean up chemistry data on the internet and support those promoting open science. Integrating proprietary and public data through open interfaces in collaborative platforms could benefit all parties.
Crossref future direction - Ed Pentz - London LIVE 2017
This document discusses Crossref's strategic planning for its future direction. It identifies Crossref's distinctive competencies as being a trusted and neutral resource within scholarly communication. It outlines critical uncertainties like funding models and the rise of preprints. Core strategies include expanding services, strategic collaboration, simplifying offerings, and tracking provenance with metadata. Enabling strategies involve quality control, validation, and implementing open source. The discussion focuses on reactions to uncertainties and priorities, opportunities for Crossref, and concerns about the future.
Capturing and Analyzing Publication, Citation and Usage Data for Contextual C...
Libraries have long sought to demonstrate the value of their collections through a variety of usage statistics. Traditionally, a strong emphasis is placed on high usage statistics when evaluating journals in collection development discussions. However, as budget pressures persist, administrators are increasingly concerned with looking beyond traditional usage metrics to determine the real impact of library services and collections. By examining journal usage in the context of scholarly communication, we hope to gain a more holistic understanding of the use and impact of our library’s resources. In this session, we begin by outlining our methodology for gathering comprehensive publication and citation data for authors affiliated with Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, utilizing Web of Science as our primary data source and leveraging a custom Python script to manage the data. Using this data we discuss various potential metrics that could be employed to measure and evaluate journals in institutional and field-specific contexts, including but not limited to: number of publications and references per journal, co-citation networks, percentage of references per journal, and increases or decreases of references over time per title. We then consider the development of normalized benchmarks and criteria for creating field-specific core journal lists. We also discuss a process for establishing usage thresholds to evaluate existing journal subscriptions and to highlight potential gaps in the collection. Finally, we apply and compare these metrics to traditional collection development tools like COUNTER usage reports, cost-per-use analysis, Inter-Library Loan statistics and turnaway reports, to determine what correlations or discrepancies might exist. We finish by highlighting some use-cases which demonstrate the value of considering publication and citation metrics, and provide suggestions for incorporating these metrics into library collection development practices.

The document discusses research data sharing and data availability statements. It defines a data availability statement as a statement describing how research data can be accessed and under what conditions. There are three main ways to share research data: data repositories, supplementary files, and upon request. Writing a good data availability statement involves answering questions about the raw data, where it can be accessed, any conditions for access, and restrictions. Sharing data openly increases transparency, collaboration, citations and reproducibility of research.

This document discusses several hazards of using cost per use metrics to compare e-journal packages and make management decisions. It notes that narrow definitions of use, variable user behaviors, and different dissemination styles can skew metrics. It recommends considering overall costs, comparing to interlibrary loan costs, examining title-level data, and benchmarking against consortia to get a more accurate picture of value. COUNTER statistics can help but require careful interpretation and may still miss some uses.

The document discusses a guest lecture about a 1987 paper by Crouse et al. that developed a population matrix model to analyze the population dynamics of sea turtles. The model used parameters like fecundity, growth and survival rates between stages to construct a stage-class population matrix. It found that survival and fecundity had the highest proportional sensitivity. The model improved understanding of sea turtle populations and how changes in vital rates could impact them.
Slicing and Dicing: consortial Paperstats at SCELC
This document discusses PaperStats, a usage statistics service created through a partnership between SCELC and Pubget. PaperStats automates the collection of usage statistics from publishers for SCELC member libraries in order to help libraries analyze costs and usage more efficiently.

NISO Webinar: Making Better Decisions with Usage StatisticsNational Information Standards Organization (NISO)
As libraries move to become centers of digital collections, maintaining information on the usage of these collections is ever more critical. It's also essential to be able to maintain common measures across heterogeneous collections, in order to be able to effectively analyze how the library's collection dollars are being spent. The Project COUNTER Code of Practice and the SUSHI protocol aid in this work. This session will explore the newly-published Release 4 of the COUNTER Code of Practice for e-Resources and highlight its use in conjunction with the SUSHI (Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative) protocol in an active library environment.Viewers also liked (8)

This session will comprise a talk with a panel of speakers
looking at KBART: seven years later (since the publication
of the first set of recommendations up to today). The panel
will discuss the changes on the e-resources metadata
landscape, the benefits of KBART and the challenges of
its implementation. Today poor metadata in the electronic

Post 1:
Data is a vital asset for every business organization since every activity performed by employees of the company deals with information creation, gathering, and sharing. The database is the storage systems for storing the data and it provides various services as well as allows users to retrieve required information (KiranKumar, et al., 2012). Execution of the database framework will likewise advance information reconciliation, where it will be simple for somebody to perceive how the procedures in a single section of the association can influence different portions. But the major problem with the database system is the proper implementation i.e. if the database is implemented efficiently, it contributes to the success of the company. Otherwise adverse consequences are produced. A case of an inadequately actualized database incorporates overlooking the reason for the information. The database architect should know how the information will be spoken to, how the data is setting off to the obtained, and how the information will be utilized in the association. A database is actualized inadequately when the originator does not think about the volume of information, the reason for the information, and the general execution of the entire framework before the usage procedure. A similar situation is witnessed by me in one of the organizations I have worked. The major cause that resulted in poor implementation of the database is not following the normalization technique and moreover, while designing the database, the purpose of it deviates. Normalization of the database is the basic component for managing the information stored in a database that includes operations like enhancing data integrity and also reducing the redundancies occurring in data by organizing them using the relational tables (Attallah, 2017). Since normalization is not followed, it result.

Indispensable or unnecessary? A data-driven appraisal of post cancellation ac...
This study analyzed the value of post-cancellation access (PCA) rights using usage data from four academic libraries and five major publishers. The researchers used the Unsub tool to model how much current usage would be covered immediately after cancellation and over time with PCA, open access, and aggregator databases. They found that PCA provides the most value for libraries planning deeper cancellations and when lost access is less acceptable. However, PCA loses value more quickly over time as open access increases and aggregator coverage remains constant. The researchers developed a preliminary model to calculate the monetary value of PCA usage annually over ten years. They found PCA has the greatest value in the first few years after cancellation but then declines as content ages.
Using the unbundling power of Unsub responsibly: unveiling its assumptions an...
Here are the key points about configurable ILL parameters in Unsub:
- Unsub allows libraries to adjust the percentage of "delayed access" articles that actually result in ILL requests, as this percentage varies widely across institutions.
- The default is 5%, but libraries can increase this percentage to better reflect their local ILL fulfillment rates for articles not available via subscriptions, perpetual access, or open access.
- Increasing the ILL percentage reduces the amount of "delayed access" and more accurately portrays how many articles are truly unavailable or "turnaways".
- Adjusting the ILL parameter is important for libraries to customize Unsub's predictions to align with their local ILL fulfillment realities.
A collaborative imperative? The Read to Publish funding gap
The document discusses the transition from pay-to-read to pay-to-publish models of scholarly publishing and the need for collaboration. It notes that currently only 15-20% of articles are open access but this is predicted to increase significantly. Within existing publishing consortia, 73% of articles are authored but only a small percentage are currently open access. The document argues that countries, states, consortia, libraries, and authors will need to collaborate to transition the current system and avoid certain entities being "disintermediated". It also discusses challenges libraries and consortia face in journal package renewals and balancing priorities around price, open access provisions, and supporting open access publishing.
Access to Freely Available Journal Articles: Gold, Green, and Rogue Open Ac...
A recent bibliometrics study found that 54% of 4.6 million scientific papers from peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus during the years 2011-2013 could be downloaded for free on the internet in April of 2014 (Archambault, et al. 2014). As time rolls on, authors and researchers are increasingly using more-and-less legal scholarly article sharing services to "take back the literature," or even just to access it more conveniently (Bohannon, 2016). The objective of this study was to evaluate a manageable sample of journal articles across the sciences, social sciences and humanities for their availability in gold, green and rogue open access forms, including ResearchGate and Sci-Hub. Attendees will gain a greater appreciation of the extent of open access availability through Google Scholar, Google and commercial discovery systems, and will be challenged to roll with the times by expanding the role of libraries in broadening access to the freely available literature.
Alternative Avenues of Discovery: Competition or Potential
The document discusses alternative avenues of discovery for libraries, focusing on three emerging examples that correspond to the themes of reaching out, providing intuitive services, and gaining insights from analytics. The first example is Libhub via Zepheira, which uses linked data to extend library catalogs onto the web. The second is 1science Open Access Solutions, which expands discoverable content by making institutional repository publications freely available. The third is Yewno's inference engine, which supports discovery by revealing connections between concepts based on underlying scholarly content.
Discovery impact erl2014
This document summarizes a study on the impact of discovery services on usage of publisher-hosted journal content. The study analyzed usage data from 33 academic libraries before and after implementing a discovery service, finding that usage generally increased after implementation. However, the degree of impact varied between discovery services, publishers, and individual libraries. While discovery services were found to significantly increase usage overall, the effect differed depending on the specific publisher and service used. Further analysis is needed to understand the factors influencing these differences in impact.
Techniques for successful negotiation
This document discusses negotiation techniques used by the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC). SCELC negotiates licenses for electronic resources on behalf of over 145 member libraries. It primarily negotiates pricing and terms with vendors. The document outlines SCELC's consortial approach, which involves building relationships with vendors through honest and fair negotiations. It provides tips for libraries negotiating with vendors, such as preparing well, listening to understand the other perspective, aiming high but being willing to compromise, and using data and peer examples to support their position. The document also discusses specific opportunities for libraries to negotiate, such as subscription versus one-time purchases, access fees, and resolving intractable license negotiations.
Discovery impact scelc colloquium 2014mar05
This document summarizes a major longitudinal study examining the effect of web-scale discovery services on online journal usage.

This document summarizes a large scale longitudinal study examining the effect of discovery systems on online journal usage. The study analyzed journal usage data from 24 academic libraries before and after implementing a discovery service. It found that while some publishers saw an increase in usage and some saw a decrease, the change in usage varied significantly depending on both the discovery service and the individual library. The study utilized ANOVA models to determine that discovery service, library, and the interaction between discovery service and publisher were significant predictors of changes in journal usage. The results indicate the effect of discovery systems on usage is complex and depends on multiple factors.
Electronic resource negotiation and licensing SANLiC 2013
This document provides a summary of a presentation on key negotiation techniques:
1. Negotiation is a process of give and take between parties with differing needs, often aimed at reaching a compromise. Pricing and licensing negotiations with vendors seek to find equilibrium between what each side wants.
2. There are two common negotiation styles - a "win-lose" war room approach more common at consortia level, and a "win-win" compromise style built on relationships more common between libraries.
3. Effective negotiation techniques include preparing well, listening to understand the other side, starting with ambitious goals and being willing to compromise or walk away if needed to get the best terms. Practice is important to developing strong
Ever Evolving Ebooks SANLiC 2013
This document summarizes Jason Price's presentation on the ever-evolving nature of ebooks. It discusses several topics, including ebook discoverability and the maze-like nature of finding ebooks. It also examines ebook platform characteristics, different acquisition models, the impact on scholarly communication, digital rights management challenges for interlibrary loan and consortial sharing, and one potential vision for the future of ebooks.
Publisher Journal Portfolio Growth
This document discusses models for pricing journal package takeovers to provide greater predictability for libraries.
Model A scales the annual price increase percentage by the number of takeover titles, charging more for larger numbers of titles. Model B scales the takeover fee as a percentage of the acquired titles' list prices.
The models aim to provide more predictable pricing while balancing the needs of publishers to grow packages and libraries to maintain collections. Challenges include how the models interact with society royalty models and over-emphasis on list prices. Offering both fixed and growing package options is suggested as a compromise.

Saving time and money in the short(!) run...
The document describes how a librarian used aggregated usage statistics from Pubget Paperstats to quickly and responsibly propose cancelling titles from a large publisher's package in order to mitigate rising costs, allowing them to get the invoice approved within the week as requested by trimming titles with low usage based on 3 years of COUNTER data while taking title changes and input from colleagues into account. The librarian was able to complete the process responsibly and propose cancellations supported by data in under 4 hours, with the potential cost savings from cancelling just a few titles covering the ongoing cost of the Paperstats subscription.
Citing the Biological Literature
This document provides guidance on properly citing sources in-text and in a literature cited section. It explains the formatting for citations with 1, 2, or 3+ authors. It also demonstrates how to write citing sentences that score well by citing a main point from the source, being specific and clear, and tying the point to your own research. Students are then given examples to practice scoring citing sentences before being assigned the task of finding two journal articles to cite for an upcoming lab report on plant competition.
Choosing a library leader
The document discusses the challenges and opportunities facing 21st century academic libraries. It outlines several key trends including increased access to digital resources, demand for instant delivery of articles, and the need to improve upon search tools like Google. The author advocates for developing new instruction programs, digitizing special collections, and creating digital repositories. Collaborative and customized spaces for students are also highlighted. The summary concludes that the next library leader must navigate compromise, build trust, and work with faculty and IT to ensure the library's critical role in the future.
Oxford Discoverability Panel ALA 2011 New Orleans
The document discusses library discovery tools as an alternative "one stop shop" entry point for accessing a variety of scholarly content. It notes that while discovery tools provide broad access, reference content remains separated. Specifically, Oxford reference definitions can only be found by going directly to the Oxford silo rather than through discovery tools. The document also questions whether Google Books effectively directs users from book content to relevant Oxford resources available through libraries.
KBART Update ALA June 2011
This document discusses KBART, a NISO recommended practice for exchanging accurate journal holdings data between publishers, aggregators, and knowledge base providers. KBART aims to standardize this data exchange to ensure better access to content through link resolvers and other tools. It establishes a universally acceptable format for title level coverage data that specifies dates and volumes/issues. Adopting KBART will help address common problems with holdings lists and allow automated updating between systems. The document urges publishers, libraries and others in the scholarly content supply chain to participate in KBART and register their holdings data in the KBART Registry.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used.

Editor's Notes
- Hallo everyone. I’m here to give you an overview of the UKSG-sponsored KBART working group. KBART’s goal is to improve the supply of data to link resolvers and knowledge bases, in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of OpenURL linking. So I’ll also be going back to basics to explain the OpenURL since this is still an area that many in our community don’t feel comfortable that they understand.
- Title by title Survey of 2250 individual Claremont Colleges journal subscriptions (less than 10% of the total number of titles we list) NB: this does NOT include aggregator titles, unsubscribed titles, OR freely available titles
- Here’s a concrete example at the consortial level – a before and a hoped for after
- Reconciliation of publisher access list w/ older custom consortium package KB list and reality check Main point is NOT the level of accuracy of the older consortium list (which is far more accurate than the global list), But the number of titles that had to be checked by hand, and the necessity of editing the KB list rather than just passing on the publisher list
