Abstract

Accurate title and holding level metadata in a library’s link resolver knowledgebase is essential to providing access to ejournal entitlements. As a result of their complex title histories, publisher submitted ejournal metadata often needs to be manually updated in the link resolver knowledgebase to ensure title changes and coverage data align. This article will demonstrate how a custom report used at the University of Alberta Library identifies date discrepancies between link resolver and catalog data to drive link resolver knowledgebase clean up work for priority ejournal collections. It will end by highlighting how quality metadata produced by the library community might be leveraged by vendors to improve ejournal holding data globally in their link resolver knowledgebases.

摘要

图书馆链接解析器知识库中准确的标题和馆藏级别元数据对于提供对电子期刊权利的访问至关重要。由于其复杂的标题历史，出版商提交的电子期刊元数据通常需要在链接解析器知识库中手动更新，以确保标题更改和覆盖数据保持一致。本文将演示阿尔伯塔大学图书馆使用的自定义报告如何识别链接解析器和目录数据之间的日期差异，以推动链接解析器知识库清理工作以处理优先电子期刊馆藏。最后将强调供应商如何利用图书馆社区生成的高质量元数据来改进其链接解析器知识库中的全球电子期刊持有数据。
