*ABOUT THE WEBINAR*
Link resolvers have become an important element of providing access to
full-text electronic content and are now ubiquitous in both the library and
publishing community. These systems work well enough a majority of the
time. However, they are not entirely problem free, and as a result users
may not always obtain access to information which their institutions have
licensed for them. The management of the large volumes of linking data
necessary to support these services is a problem in scale as well as in
detail. Several NISO projects have sought to improve the reliability of
these systems, including the Knowledgebases and Related Tools (KBART) and
Improving OpenURL through Analytics (IOTA) initiatives.
This webinar will highlight these NISO projects and other community
initiatives, such as GOKb, launched to create community-managed knowledge
base repositories.
