[Eril-l] NISO Offers Free KBART Informational Webinar, March 11

[NISO Announce]

KBART (Knowledge Bases And Related Tools)
<https://www.niso.org/standards-committees/kbart> is a NISO Recommended
Practice that's been around for most of this decade. KBART concentrates on
a description for metadata transfer, to support a content provider's
communication of journals and monograph information to knowledge bases
maintained by link-resolver vendors. It's so ubiquitous in many scenarios
that librarians and publishers might easily take KBART for granted, but a
closer look can reveal its utility and flexibility in the electronic
product landscape and how it is put to use to support dependable end-user
access to library resources.

On Monday, March 11, at 12 noon (Eastern, US & Canada), NISO will provide a
FREE 60-minute webinar to discuss KBART from soup to nuts and to highlight
its value to those who use it, and those who could use it.  This webinar
will take the place of the monthly NISO Open Teleconference, so there will
also be opportunities for questions and answers and discussion about KBART.

The webinar will include an overview of the knowledge base supply chain and
perspectives of participants; how the KBART Standing Committee members
contribute to its ongoing development; how KBART endorsement works with the
KBART Registry; and an update on what's next for KBART.

Featured speakers include: Noah Levin, NISO KBART Standing Committee
Co-Chair; Dominic Benson, Analytics and Discovery Officer, Brunel
University London; Ben Johnson, Provider Relations Engagement Manager,
ProQuest/Ex Libris; Robert Heaton, Collection Management Librarian, Utah
State University Libraries; and Andrée Rathemacher, Head, Acquisitions,
University of Rhode Island Libraries.
