1. Managing e-Resources & Licensing

metadata, openURL, MARC, standards

• Understand the vital role that publisher metadata plays in the user discovery and access process
• Understand (at a high-level) the various library systems that provide full-text access
• Articulate the differences in information needs between undergraduate and graduate students/researchers
• Identify metadata standards and practices that support resource discovery (specifically openURL, KBART, MARC, PIE-J)

This session describes how embedded publisher metadata supports the user discovery experience in library catalogs, link resolvers and discovery systems. Examples from several publishers will illustrate different approaches publishers can use in providing metadata to libraries and library service providers.
