OpenURL basics
• A database• Contains information about web resources (global)– e.g. what journal holdings are available in JSTOR– and how you link to articles in them
• Contains information about the resources a library has licensed/owns (local)– May contain electronic and print holdings (in
addition to a number of other services)• Used by a link resolver to direct institutional users to
the ‘appropriate copy’
What is a KnowledgeBase?
• It tracks the library’s content and identifies locations for the content
• It knows which versions the library is able to access
• So – it’s the only place that can get a user to the “appropriate copy” … the one that his/her library has licensed.
The KnowledgeBase’s Central Role in the Library
• More content visible to end users• Content linking is more accurate for end users• Increase in content usage• Maximum reach for authors and editors• Better return on investment for library• Favorable renewal decision• Protection of revenue for content providers
Benefits for All
Where the chain breaks
• Wrong data– Publisher gives wrong metadata for title to the KB– Link resolver uses bad metadata to make link– Link does not resolve to correct target– Dead end
• Outdated data– Publisher said it has a particular issue– Link resolver links to an article from it– Issue has been removed– Dead end – Or, provider doesn’t notify that issue is now live– So no traffic from link resolvers to that issue!
Ebooks
• Phase I – recommendations were serial-centric– Some fields were dual-purpose
• date_first_issue_online• Identifiers
– Holding’s content type was ambiguous• Phase II– 8 new monographic fields added– Disambiguation of usage
9
10
Ebooks Serials! – Phase II
• Serials-only fields for Phase II:– date_first_issue_online– num_first_vol_online– num_first_issue_online– date_last_issue_online– num_last_vol_online– num_last_issue_online
11
Ebooks and Serials! – Phase II
• Fields used for both monographs and serials:– Identifiers– title_id– embargo_info– coverage_depth– coverage_notes– title_url– Publication_type (Serial, Monograph)
12
New Ebooks fields for Phase II
• date_monograph_published_print • date_monograph_published_online• monograph_volume• monograph_edition• first_editor
13
Book Series / Proceedings - Phase II
• Challenges– Both serial and monograph– Users search for both titles
• New fields– parent_publication_title_id– preceding_publication_title_id
14
Open Access
• OA has gotten more popular • Importance of facilitating access to both paid
and free peer-reviewed, quality publications (not just fee-based material).
15
Open Access
• Challenges– What to do with Hybrid OA models?• Embargoed Hybrid OA – example: free access until one
year ago. • Title transfer OA – title changes from OA to paid (or
vice versa) upon transfer to another publisher. • Author-paid OA – some articles fee-based.• Full OA – all content is free
– Title-level vs. article-level OA metadata
16
Open Access
• The decision was made not to differentiate between Free and OA for KBART.
• Needed to strike a balance between noting significant OA content and making the file understandable.
17
Open Access
• Free-text coverage_notes field suggested to explain subtleties of OA availability for that particular title.
• New field – access_type– “F” – title is mostly fee-based
(subscription/purchase)– “OA” – 50% or more of the title is
OA/freely accessible.
18
Consortia
• Survey results• Libraries purchase titles as a consortium• Consortium administrators and librarians need
the same title-level information from their consortium-purchased packages as they do from “vanilla” publisher packages.
• Difficult to obtain accurate consortium-specific title lists.
19
Consortia
• We re-state the importance of providing a separate file for each “Global” package that the Content Provider offers.
• Consortium-specific files should be created when: – A unique set of titles has been packaged for the
consortium, different than the Content Provider’s standard packages.
– A package contains unique dates of coverage.
20
Consortia• Changes to file naming for ALL files. • Addition of “Region/Consortium” value in file
structure. – [ProviderName]_[Region/Consortium]_[Package
Name]_[YYYY-MM-DD].txt– Applicable to Consortia packages and Regional variants
(e.g., “Asia-Pacific”, “Germany”, etc.)– “Global” value is used if the package
is available for all libraries to purchase.
21
Consortia – New File Name Examples
• Title list is not region or consortium-specific, includes all titles from the content provider: – JSTOR_Global_AllTitles_2008-12-01.txt – Taylor & Francis_Global_AllTitles_2012-08-30
• Title list is consortium-specific, for a specific package:– IOP_NESLi2_Option 1 (2011)_2012-05-31.txt (includes a year as part of the
package name)– Oxford_SCELC_AllTitles_2012-01-09.txt (contains all titles that the consortium
has subscribed to)
• Title list is region-specific, for a specific package:– Springer_Asia-Pacific_Medicine_2012-08-03.txt
Phase 1 – Universally accepted standardized publisher metadata, regularly distributed AND available on demand
Phase 2 – Broad adoption, Consortia, More content type coverage (eBooks, conference proceedings), Open Access materials– Final document now in last stage of NISO approval before publication
Phase 3? – Even more content types, automated delivery, institutional metadata????
KBART’s lifespan
1. Everything can be found at http://www.uksg.org/kbart/endorsement
2. Review the requirements (data samples available)3. Format your title lists accordingly.4. Self-check to ensure they conform to the recommended
practice5. Ensure that you have a process in place for regular data
updates6. Register your organization on the KBART registry website:
