ALCTS CRS Committee on Holdings Information cordially invits you to attend the ALCTS CRS Holdings Update Forum at 2011 ALA Midwinter in San Diego, CA

Date: January 8 (Saturday).
Time: 4:00 pm-5:30 pm
Location: at San Diego Convention Center Room 30C

Forum Description
Holdings information in Electronic Content Access: Ensuring that users can access licensed or open digital content remains a key mission for librarians and content providers. If everything works properly, a patron should be able to click on a link and almost magically be connected to the content that they need. What’s behind the click? Whether this simple action builds upon data quality in a knowledgebase, the link structure behind OpenURL, or DOI-linking functionality from citations, many people and services are responsible for this magic. Come learn about the latest developments with standards projects such as KBART (Knowledgebases and Related Tools) and IOTA (Improving OpenURLs Through Analytics) and discover how CrossRef simplifies access across the internet through DOI-linking.

Speakers:

KBART :  Christine Stohn
IOTA: Oliver Pesch
CrossRef: Carol Ann Meyer

Sincerely,

Julie Su
Committee on Holdings Information, Chair
