Abstract
As our collections become increasingly electronic, standards play an increasingly important role not only for libraries but also for publishers. This session will describe standards and recommended practices that are designed to support the publishing, identification, and retrieval of electronic materials, including KBART (Knowledge Bases and Related Tools), the DOI (Digital Object Identifier), and EPUB. What are they, what do they do, how do they relate to the work of a broad spectrum of attendees, and, particularly, why we should care? The presenters are co‐chairs of the NISO (National Information Standards Organization) Content and Collection Management Topic Committee.
Not So Strange Bedfellows: Information Standards for Librarians AND Publishers
As our collections become increasingly electronic, standards play an increasingly important role not only for libraries but also for publishers. This session will describe standards and recommended practices that are designed to support the publishing, identification, and retrieval of electronic materials, including KBART (Knowledge Bases and Related Tools), the DOI (Digital Object Identifier), and EPUB. What are they, what do they do, how do they relate to the work of a broad spectrum of attendees, and, particularly, why we should care? The presenters are co‐chairs of the NISO (National Information Standards Organization) Content and Collection Management Topic Committee.
